9/11 happened at the perfect time

[Music Fiend]

Scary to think about. Scary moment for the United States in general.

Shoutout to @Mephistopheles for the thread inspiration for his thread in JBO.

I was just thinking at how the 9/11 WTC happened at a perfect time on our American timeline of technology.


Can you imagine that same attack in 2021? With Twitter, snapchat, Dropbox, worldstar. The horror of people recording their last moments and BASE jumps from the roof?

The world was surely not ready to see that from a first person perspective, people's kids, families, mothers and fathers. The sheet horror of technology and how connected we are IMO would have sent us straight into WW3.

Can you imagine brehs?

Carson: Tell me about the hip-hop community is probably the strongest community, as far as going through times like this. What’s the sentiment been with some of your friends and peers?

Ja Rule: It’s been, you know, a real painful time for everybody, you know. Everybody, you know we’re real sympathetic for the families of the victims, all the tragedy but, you know, we’ve banded together and tryin’ to be together for one another and that’s — that’s what’s so great about America right now, you know. I’m seein’ the togetherness as I sit in the back of the green room watchin’, everybody is chillin’ and everybody gettin’ together on this issue. It’s — it’s li

You know, you're right, OP. If something on a 9/11 scale (in the time frame, remember it took over half an hour for the towers to fall, plenty of time for people to react) happened again, we'd hear so many people's last words.

We'd have a thousands of these types of audio clips


Word of caution, its difficult to listen to. Haunting

that awful tragedy that was 9/11 helped propel a set of mouthy Harlem hustlers to greatness.



the most patriotic, pro black rappers put the city and the US on their back and helped heal a city in mourning.
(although they lost out on money because of Juelz controversial lyrics and were banned from flying for a short period)

Every time I see that video I get chills. Daunting, terrifying, cold chills.

Life so short man. He knew his time was up.

Scary man. Thank god it's only audio. I can't imagine a video from the scene that automatically uploads to YouTube.

9/11 changed society more than Covid

If I was a conspiracy theorist I might say 9/11 was part 1 and Covid is part 2. Part 3s gotta be aliens the way it’s seeping into mainstream news outlets these past few years

However, I’m not the same conspiracy theorist as I was 20 years ago. But, it does make you think

You could say that about every pre-iphone disaster if we are going by that criteria.
