Attending the 9/11 Memorial next month - how to interact with families that lost loved ones?

A couple of us are planning to visit the 9/11 Memorial in New York next month; it would be our first time visiting the Memorial. I want to be careful to not treat the event as some adventurous visit and to keep in mind that people are going there for a day of mourning and remembrance. This might be easier said than done, since there is also a 9/11 museum there that we plan to visit too.

And another thing that makes matters a bit more complicated is that 9/11 occurred almost 17 years ago now. For example, we could still say things like

I'm sorry for the loss of your son

but don't know if is that unnecessary or even discouraged at this point in time, in the year 2018. We want to be cautious of what we are saying, in order to show respect to the families and not inadvertently offend them.

How can we interact with the families that lost loved ones on 9/11 without offending?

I have never been to a place of mourning before - not a funeral, nothing - so I'm very inexperienced in such environments.


Never forget :911:

its like a loving open park with hot dog vendors and a giant mall

the whole thing is purestrain gold but hold on:

quote:

I was working on my latest small project -- a compiler for a special-purpose language I've designed called Scriptable Network Graphics, or SNG. SNG is an editable representation of the chunk data in a PNG. What I'm writing is a compiler/decompiler pair, so you can dump PNGs in SNG, edit the SNG, then recompile to a PNG image.

windows 95 had 'virtual memory' but i think it was only for the 32 bit portion of the system iirc. it still had DOS and all the same memory expectations for 16 bit stuff, same way it was in win 3

NT was as major a change as OSX was, it finally dumped DOS and all the cruft like real mode

its because all of the local amazon delivery stuff is vans and you dont need a CDL to drive them

right but i thought those local couriers had DOT numbers and stuff because of commercial use? i know beyond a certain size you need a CDL to operate no matter what

those courier companies use vans that are under the required weight. those smaller fedex vans dont even require a CDL, thats why they buy those specific kinds of vehicles

so like, the much coveted FAANG stuff is generally like 120k-160k, and they are super rare and generally hire from the same inbred incestuous north-eastern elite stanford types and stuff.

its actually not very hard to get hired at AWS, the pay and benefits aren't that great, and i have no idea how it even made it into that dumb loving acronym lol

AWS will always lowball your base pay, give you RSUs instead, and convince you thats fine because amazon stock will continue climbing forever
