That day we were not in Livorno, but taking a vacation in London. So when it happened we didn't know at first, until we saw people gathering in front of some TV sets in a department store, watching something almost unbelievable.
The day after we went to the American Embassy, where people were leaving flowers at a tree draped with an American flag. Soon there were too many and they had to move them to another place, where the 9/11 memorial is now.(First photo: Tiles for America, 7th Avenue at 11th Street, New York)

Let's hope we can get through the day without any further horror happening hey VP, nice tribute!
Excellent photographs.
Very nice VP.
You have some unusual and nice things here to add to the worldwide tributes.
Sono vicina alle famiglie delle vittime in questo giorno di ricordo di un grande dolore. God bless America !!
I was in London as well, working. Went for a coffee in the office kitchen,saw what I first thought was some catastrophe movie. Once we understood the unbelievable, we stopped working for the rest of the day, and also the following day, being a US company.
I was at home when it happened. I turned on the TV and watched the news coming in. A horrible day that changed the world.
I was at the faculty and heard some unbelievable rumors first. Then I went home and watch CNN in horror, all day long and the days after.
Thanks for joining with us in remembering and honoring those 3,000 victims on this 10 year anniversary of 9/11....
A lovely tribute.
It was a working day for me but from the moment it happened (luchtime) there was this strange silence in my office. Actually we ended up by going home earlier to watch everything on tv.
I like the words on the tile, this is a nice touching tribute... God bless them all.
Your post shows us that the events of 9.11 affected so many people around the globe, not just the US.
Estupendas las fotos que nos has dejado.
Saludos y un abrazo.
United we stand. Ciao, Arianna
A wonderful and thoughtful post today, VP.
