try a sligthly larger font especially on the loader
and may be a clearer colour why not make the background black and the text white

Good idea, a tribute for the day that changed so many things...

> Has anything ever has effected so many?

I have to broach this issue with caution because I don't wish to offend anyone or demean the terrible attrocity that took place on 9/11. However, I do feel that the above comment is rather naive.

There have been many events which have and are having a similar tragic effect on many millions of people.

For example, there are currently approx. 13 million people facing starvation in Africa. Surely this is as deserving of a website - if they receive aid in time, many people's suffering will be aleviated. And the only reason this doesn't appear to affect anyone other than those suffering is because it doesn't get the press coverage around the world that it deserves.

should be careful with those 'religious words' you're using on the website... you might find out some day that those are the same words used by the Saddam or Oussama of this world to conviced their people...

as for the site... i dont see much of a tribute there... its more of a website with a few pictures than a tribute...

<...should be careful with those 'religious words'...> <...those are the same words used by the Saddam or Oussama of this world to conviced their people...>
It is not what the words say, it is what you feel in your heart. I continue to believe in the one & only GOD. Make all the excuses you want, but those you spoke of & others like them are the Satan we must battle every day. The only naivety I see are those that refuse to believe in the truth.
The tribute is for something that has effected me personally, as in "Please check out a personal tribute to 9/11....".
As expected, most have overlooked the definition to suffice there own opinionated rhetoric.

1)I would add more sound...

2)Some of the words take away from the images (still reading as images fade away)

3)There are times when I think it must be over, because the words stay up longer than other times.

4)I would change the play/stop buttons to a single pause/play button. And make it more than just text.

5)The flag at the end, make it wave... (the easiest way I know to do that is to import a waving flag animated gif, then increase the size, and trace bitmap each frame)

6)The flag at the end covers the exit button.

7)The exit button looks as if the hover state is off from the others a little... kind of shifts up and to the left.

8)Don't close the broswer on exit. I understand that it works for closing the full screen version, BUT in the reuglar browser version it closes it too, which means if that is the only browser window open... then you are trying to shut down the users parent browser (people don't like that). Also, if is their parent browser window it gives a warning message... why not send them to something like a CNN report on 9-11??? (or look at the next item on the list for another solution)

9)Why have a full screen version? you are still showing it in the same amount of screen size either way. The only differance is there is more grey. I would suggest using a chromeless popup window the exact size of the animation.
This will pop it up without the toolbars covering the splash image, yet when they click exit, it will close the popup and take them back to the splash page.

These are just my thoughts & opinions...

Wow, you're a "glass is half empty" kinda guy aren't you juggo . . . hey wait so am I. The tribute was sufficient but not moving enough to make me slow the pace of my day and dwell on what happened. I supposed we've all become desensitized to what happened to what we thought was once an impregnable society. Without changing this thread into a political debate I'll stop at saying the tribute is well accepted and appreciated.
