9/11 angle I never seen before

[IIVI]

Lol... you really think America would have spent trillions on infrastructure, Healthcare, government services and education if it wasn't for 9/11?!?!



You must have grown up in a bubble

Well it would've went to something other than Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. How many U.S lives would've been lost in Afghanistan/Iraq/Middle East had those attacks not occurred?

They attacked, we responded and it still costs. PERIOD.

Those are the facts. Wasted too much time on this discussion already. Peace.

There are costs we can handle... and costs we can't handle

9/11 was something America could handle



That money would have never went to productive uses anyway... you must not understand politics or economics.

Bin Laden didn't achieve his strategic goals.... this is a fact

The Muslim world got devastated... amd the current biggest issue in America is the racism that was already here before 9/11...

Bin Laden would have done more damage taking the reigns of his familys billion dollar fortune and using it to support Trump

There's a thread from an old internet forum I was reading earlier this year that was like 100 pages long of people commenting about 9/11 as it happened. It was so surreal seeing an infant message board from 2001 discuss these events as they were going on.

I remember everybody on there was trying to log in to CNNs web page but it was down due to the overwhelming traffic of people trying to figure out wtf was going on.

There was this lady who had a husband working in the WTC and she was posting updates as she was talking to him. He made it out cause he worked on the lower floors. She said they initially thought it was a bomb. It wasn't until some time later when he found out it was a fukking airliner.

Reading that forum is like going back in time. I'ma post it if I can find it again.

I remember the 1st comment was something like "don't know how true this is, but I'm reading on aol news that there was a supposed bomb that went off in one of the wtc? Any NYers can verify this"?

Crazy

Found it:

The Awful Forums - the World Trade Center is on fire

Edit: The "next page" buttons don't work, but if you change the url from wtc01 -> wtc02 it will go to the next page

crazy they just standing around watching and not panicking

Man, I really wish those poor people on the planes would have fought back. If I'm on a hijacked plane, they're going to have to kill me before they do anything cause I'm gonna attack. Not just going to sit there and wait to die.

they tried, 3rd plane crashed into the Pentagon or somewhere in Pennsylvania I believe.

After the WTC bombing in 1993, it was a wonder that no one took the possibility of a terrorist attack on the building more seriously.

yep visited this for my ROTC trip to gettysburg, heard the black box with the recordings of the people calling their loved ones, super sad. Crazy part is they actually flew over Akron and almost crashed into the engineering building because of the polymer research

20+ years later that shyt is still horror, knowing at that second, hundreds of lives ended

And it’s still firefighters & other rescue workers dying from cancer & illnesses to this day

It's wild how they were asking for random people to travel to NY to help clean up a crime scene.
They did the same shyt at the Pentagon.
Speaking of the Pentagon FBI never released the videos they confiscated 5 mins after it was hit from the gas station cameras that had a clear view of the whole thing.

Westerners in general tended to believe they weren't really part of the world, that they're somewhat "above" all of it and that terrorist attacks only happened in poor countries. Blissful ignorance and arrogance. This was a reminder that they are very much part of the world and what is done there can have consequences here.

i mean... most terrorist organizations have some sort of actual desire to win/make progress...

taking out a few thousands Americans in order to have hundreds of thousands of muslims killed...

Muslim countries devastated... and to be assassinated and throw out to sea by Navy seals....

I'm sure if he would have known the outcome, he would have at least tried another way...

Lol.
Think it was still bin laden in 2022 brehs..

Why are you trying to humanize that motherfukking demon?

Stop it...collateral damage was expected by him I'm positive.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

I refuse to ever stay in a building on the upper floors because of 9/11.

Could you imagine having to decide tonfukking jump or burn to death?


Or the people who couldn't find a way to the windows...the pitch darkness and the massive amount of smoke and heat.

I was in South Jersey in 6th grade relatively unaffected but 9/11 has made me think about certain things daily..m

Mainly about life and my own death.

HELL NAW

That's my biggest fear breh. When I ask my lady what she'd do, she says jump so casually like

Even thinking about making that choice makes me sweat.
