Bing Bong..."Will those people who do not think about nor consider the victims of the 9/11 attacks in New York for the other 525 948 minutes of the year now please stand and be silent to remember those people you never met and dont think about. Thank you...Bing Bong.

The idea is daft - why do you have to have an organised silence to remember what happened? If it means something to you, you will remember and / or commemorate it in your own way - and most likely far more often than for one minute a year.
And if it really means something to you, you wouldnt need a tanoy in your office to remember that it is time to think about it.

I reckon the reason most people are silent is simply so they are not the jerk who breaks the silence - I know that was the case in my office last year. For most it is just going through the motions.

And yup, time to move on.
