From Other Guides • NYC Visitors: September 11

Almost a year has passed since the horrible terrorist attacks on September 11. I thought it might be appropriate to discuss some specific issues since the attacks affected so many nations and people worldwide. Here are the questions and some of the answers posted on the LDS Community Forum.

Are we safer now than before September 11?

Tanya:

No. We are inconvenienced by things that really make no difference in our security simply because they look good to (or for) politicians.

Kurbino:

We are somewhat safer from terrorists. But we are also somewhat less safe from the u.s. government.

Rachel Woods:

Yes, I believe so. I believe that because of the evil that happened people are much more aware of their surroundings, and that companies, nations, and governments have focused on the importance of safety, which has brought about many good changes.

What would be a fitting memorial for the victims?

Tanya:

I don't know.

Kurbino:

An America where people are not arrested and held by the military without trial, a free and democratic Afghanistan, a lasting peace in the middle east, and an end to our oil-based economy.

Rachel Woods:

I don't really know what would be a fitting memorial, but I thought there has to be at least some type of memorial with the names of all the victims, and volunteers that were killed or lost their lives.
