Not really. We made fun of it at school.
Terrible digits, reminds me of that tragedy
blood and bone
yeah, i watched the 2nd plane hit live as i walked out the door to go to 5th grade. i was just hoping school would be cancelled. i remember saying that to a teacher and she just looked at me like the gremlin i was. the paranoid / anxious culture that followed the attacks never really left, the 90s didn’t have that. people born after genuinely wouldn’t get it unfortunately. that shit broke everyone’s brains.
>the paranoid / anxious culture that followed the attacks never really left
b***h that’s always been around. Back in the 1970s everyone was worried the guy walking down the street was a serial killer.
The difference is that 9/11 gave them a reason to turn that into policy.
The 90s had WACO, Oklahoma City, Militia movements, blacks burning down LA.
America was never cozy.
ironically most of those events are domestic white terrorism, waco being an example of the govt as aggressors more so than the people themselves, but it goes to show how little the govt cares about that shit in terms of proportional response and policy change vs. a few muslims stealing planes. they saw an opportunity and took it. the patriot act was created and passed quickly as a result. we’ve never recovered from the power the govt asserted for itself following that.
>ironically most of those events are domestic white terrorism
Which were, ironically, all about calling out the government for getting too big and intrusive.
Would you admit they were right all along?
yeah i don’t have much of an issue with anything that could be framed as accelerationism, left or right. i just want to see this circus act end.
None of which were even close to the scale of 9/11. The 90s were extremely cozy, in fact it was so cozy it was the last time in American history that it was ‘cool’ to be detached from politics.
>All taking place in shitty states
If you lived in the midwest you didn't have to worry about any of this shit.
So why did terror attacks taking place exclusively in major East Coast cities disturb you so?
Back then city dwellers were still seen as fellow Americans
They didn't you fricking moron.
People moved on. The "Never forget!" shit didn't mean anything to anyone outside of New York or New Jersey and you're all stupid and narcissistic for thinking it did.
You must be brown. 9/11 is why 90% of Americans still hate muslims and why everyone wanted to bomb the middle east
>9/11 is why 90% of Americans still hate muslims and why everyone wanted to bomb the middle east
Well done, Mossad
We didn't need 9/11 to hate towel heads you fricking gay.
Where I'm from we hated them because they didn't talk like us and didn't belong in our communities. Your city rats getting BTFO by camel jockeys was YOUR problem.
this is the kind of moron that was beating up sikh kids following the attacks
Holy based
Frick the entire Indian sub(human) continent
I didn't live around any Sikhs to beat up because I lived in a white people state.
You are making it less white
>uhhhh... uhhh y..you're not white ha!
pathetic retort.
Sikhs are supremacist buttholes themselves though, so frick them
What no way Sikhs are the opposite of supremacist they dont even believe in apostasy or conversion
>sikhs are BRO TIER!
holy frick is it 2010 again? no one gives a shit about your favorite version of shitskin. stay in your own fricking country!
it’s not really about the sikhs specifically, they’re the easiest example to reference for a moron who can’t delineate between different cultural identities. i would love for another attack to happen so maybe you can all enlist and fulfill your bloodlust with the backing of a nation state. more power to you.
Why should Americans be forced to coexist with and give a damn about different cultural identities? I don't care at all if you're not a Muslim or Sikh or Hindu or Black person or Alawite. They should all frick off to their shitholes.
at one point in america’s history, they tried to push a lot of pride about being a melting pot and a haven for immigrants to find that american dream everyone talks about. there’s even a bunch of words written about it on a pretty famous statue in new york. the grim reality is that it’s really about making sure there’s a constant flow of cheap labor into the country, that’s really all the interest in “multiculturalism” is from an economic standpoint. why would anyone pay some pissy racist white kid $65k a year when they could trap some indian moron in h1b slavery for peanuts?
>at one point in america’s history, they tried to push a lot of pride about being a melting pot and a haven for immigrants to find that american dream everyone talks about.
Political discussions in the 90s and 00s when everyone sincerely bought into this were in some ways more frustrating than in recent years when the kumbaya nation of immigrants facade was finally thrown aside in favor of open hostility.
it was easier to buy into when the economy was actually in a surplus vs trillions in debt. the reason people bought into that shit was because they were optimistic about the future, which would be entirely eliminated following 9/11.
The US has never not been in debt. You’re thinking of the Clinton era “balanced budget” which meant the government was spending exactly what it was taking in. While that’s not a bad thing it didn’t do shit for the national debt.
>defending Clinton
This is how low this website has fallen.
I don’t like Clinton. It wasn’t even his accomplishment he just took credit for what Congress did and morons think he singlehandedly balanced the country’s checkbook.
Piggybacking but it must be a CIA psyop to make people think that voting for the President matters and make them forget about Congress. The only thing the president has real control over is foreign policy. It's not like he can fix economy just by calling up the NYSE and CME, that's reserved for the israelites.
>The US has never not been in debt
Andrew Jackson paid off the national debt during his presidency
>bring your wretched
That sentence was from a time where Europeans were prosecuted left and right, mostly by religious ideologies.
America was founded by white Europeans who wished for more white Europeans to find freedom and liberty in that country.
When they made up that sentiment and sentence, they didn't mean:
>Bring us your blacks and browns and those who instigate religious wars and those who hate those already living here and those who don't want to reap the crop they themselves sowed but instead want to live off the labor of everyone else
Of course leftists pretend that that's exactly what they meant.
R.I.P. to Balbir Singh Sodhi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Balbir_Singh_Sodhi
F
Everyone hates muslims anyway, Iran hostage crisis, and plane hijackings by sweaty brown muslims were already a trope in the 80s as were muslim terrorists murdering civilian hostages. This is what muslims did in the 80s and 80s a well, shit like Lockerbie
9/11 essentially wouldn’t have happened if we weren’t supporting an illegal genocidal ethnostate that didn’t exist prior to the 1940s, and it was perpetrated by people america previously funded and trained, plus people who we still glad hand today due to dependency on resources. be mad at muslims all you want but your dogshit country’s foreign policy brought it on themselves.
israeli internet defense force has arrived
>only israelites hate muslims
lol okay. Must be why china puts them in concentration camps.
Really? Muslims always have an excuse for murder at hand don't they? I've nothing against israelites either, as far as I'm, concerned they are based just because they kill ragheads,
i’d like it if everyone who woke up on the wrong side of the bell curve would stop giving a shit about fairy tales and deal with how shitty the progression of globalism and technology have been for our lives. instead we’re treated to being gaslit by politicians who don’t care if we live or die as long as their short term interests are attained. america funded and trained the taliban after all. that rambo movie is dedicated to them.
We would never have to deal with Muslims or even think of them if it wasn't for israelites. The last legitimate beef the US had with Muslims was the Barbary fricking pirates.
Low iq take. The middle east has been fought over for its resources since civilization existed. We used the israelites as a foothold there as much as the israelites used us.
It’s hard to explain the uncertainty and fear in those first few days. Yes in retrospect we know that there was no chance suburban Texas was going to be hit but if you asked someone on September 10th if terrorists would bring down a skyscraper with a jetliner they’d laugh too. But they did, and then another, and the pentagon…
Point was we realized you don’t know what you don’t know and we didn’t know how many other terrorists might be there. There was a strong fear that that would be just the first wave or even a prelude to the real attacks and that sleeper cells or foreign governments would attack airports, malls, government buildings, whatever.
I lived in suburban Texas myself at that time but was about 1-2 miles away from DFW airport and we didn’t know if there was going to be an attack on the airport or a dirty bomb or planes would fall out of the sky above us. Yes stupid in retrospect but again no one woke up thinking anyone could ever bring down both WTC like that either.
9/11 was another milestone in taking away your freedom . This is undeniable. The US is bleeding freedom since its birth
Also why can’t zoomers not even understand the difference of cozy and freedom? You are not even engaging with what anon said
serial killer activity was captivating but it was regionally localized and also came from within. an attack being done in that way from a foreign source really shattered a lot of illusions americans had about their supposed exceptionalism. not to be helped by all the jingoistic propaganda that engendered a constant state of fear to justify a resource war.
>Back in the 1970s everyone was worried the guy walking down the street was a serial killer.
No one ever thought that you moronic homosexual.
Yes they did, such as in New York during Berkowitz
>One israelite shoots random people because le heckin doggo told me too
>zomg everybody's a killer!
I know new yorkers are moronic, but you're making up shit.
No they didn't.
>i remember saying that to a teacher and she just looked at me like the gremlin i was.
I was in second grade, I heard a plane hit a building and I went 'huhuhuh cool" and my teacher sperged.
>NO anon.. it's not cool *looks down all sad*
frick b***h I'm like 8 of course I think explosions are kick ass and I don't know what terrorism is, nor do I give a shit about what happens half way across the country.
living through the aftermath of 9/11 sucked balls as a kid. I was too young to understand abstract geopolitical struggles so I had no fear of dying in a terrorist attack, but I still had to deal with all the pussy ass self-righteous parents acting like they alone were responsible for keeping us safe from al-qaeda. Quite bizarre to witness my first moral panic so young and recognize how hysterical the adults had become. we were cooped up in school that whole year because any time the teachers suggested we do something fun, some moron parent would be like "NOOO DON'T GIVE THEM A PIZZA PARTY BECAUSE WHAT IF THE TERRORISTS PUT ANTHRAX IN THE PIZZAS??" everyone talks about how sad post 9/11 was, but no one talks about how gay and moronic it was too
I noticed it felt like the optimism since then got sucked out of the air very badly. It also led to a lot of fear mongering, which ironically is probably what the terrorists wanted to happen. I think that influenced the culture so much at the time you could tell there was a change in direction on the news, in tv shows, movies, etc. At least that was my experience. Maybe it was because I was getting older at the time and noticing things more, but it did feel like optimism got sucked out of the air a little bit.
looking back at some of the stuff that got removed or censored on television and film is insane
what removed or censored content do you have in mind?
The disney movie 'lilo and stitch' had a scene where the aliens hijack a passenger airplane and the main characters have to wrestle the controls and avoid crashing. The climax of the scene involves the plane turning sideways to just barely fit between two narrow and tall buildings.
They changed the scene entirely, reworking it into a cartoonish spaceship rather than a passenger jet and replaced the tower buildings it nearly crashes into to mountains. That's just one example, but there was a lot of media paranoia involving shenanigans on airplanes becoming traumatizing to people who lived through 9/11.
Then there was the would-be kino sound of the Barad-dur collapsing in lotr being replaced by breaking volcanic glass or some shit
It also coincided with the internet exploding and anti-American sentiment coming from every angle. Prior to that we were relatively insulated. It was just kind of a bummer all around.
>which ironically is probably what the terrorists wanted to happen
The terrorists genuinely did win. They completely fricked the country's psyche and it will never be the same again.
>the terrorists
honestly if we would’ve just treated it like any other domestic terrorism event up until that point instead of launch a decades long propaganda and war campaign against both their own country as well as multiple brown people ones, the american psyche wouldn’t have been so utterly mind broken. the muslims did the physical damage but the US govt did the psychic damage with everything that followed.
Amerimutts be like
>We will not let the terrorists scare us! That's why we're going to censor anything that could be remotely connected to 9/11 in film and tv, create a national day of mourning that's brought up every year, attack the Middle East harder than ever, beef national security tenfold and be scared of brown people and muslims
Before 9/11, airports were like malls and random people could just show up and eat and walk around with no security check. When you came back, your friends and family could meet you right at the departure gate. Only big airports had metal detectors and those were basically just random checkpoints where they only checked the suspicious people. The terrorists wanted to change your way of life and they accomplished just that. Zoomers will never now how free and open the world was before 9/11.
we reenacted the jumpers by tossing all of our backpacks in a pile in the middle of the room and hurling ourselves off our desks
my teacher was pissed off the next day because no one in my class cared

KINOOOOOO
same, but we also had a minute of silence for all the dead Americans
I remember being fairly serious about it a few hours into the day, but it was balanced by us all feeling pretty glad because it got us out of school. Probably helped that not American.
They stopped school early for you guys? Our lessons just went ahead. The principal went knocking on every door in the school notifying the teachers. We didn't really know what to make of it. Had to wait until I got home and switch on the news to really know what happened.
Nah, we just had teachers letting us watch the news for the morning. Afternoon time we mostly got back to class.
wow.. how did you do that??!
>911
put me in the screencap
>911
I've been addicted to listening and watching news footage and radio shows and NYFD/NYPD/ATC for the past week. Real disaster kino. I was 8 when it happened and didn't really care for it then.
I didn't know about it when it happened. Only learned about it when I got home. Mom interrupted my Mario Tennis game to yell at me to come down to see it and I was just "eh"
Holy
cool it with the antiamerican remarks
Not really. Everyone was sitting at their desks quiet. It was super clear sky’s that September, like not a cloud in sight. Nine year old me in 2nd grade watched on the tv in class. I remember only fragments, a shot of a bloody face, the towers collapsing. I knew bush was the president, that world trade centers were important buildings in New York and they got hit by planes and people died. Kids are not these brain dead idiots who don’t know anything and just cheer on whatever bullshit is happening. We were really concerned.
>Nine year old me in 2nd grade
How the frick did you get held back in primary school?
put me in screencap
Back in the day, we all laughed about it on the internet.
>911
reminds me of that terrible tragedy in New York
like you wouldn't believe
this sloppy glowjob interrupted my cartoons, frick off
i watched it live with my friend in school and it was literally boring because at first we thought russian sets were shooting missiles into the building because the next door teacher came in to say "jets are attacking the trade center". even saw the second plane it and it was yawn inducing by that point
>please wait a while before making a post
what?
yeah i don't know what this shit is about, but it looks like i get this only the first time i post on a given day, then it's fine
I got the same shit when I wanted to make a thread yesterday
>please wait a a while before making a thread
I wouldn't know. I was on delivery delivering stuff. We left shortly before 8, then shortly after 9, we got word. Saw the fires on work's TV, then the collapse. It was surreal, to say the least.
>WOOOOAH EXPLOSIONS AND VIOLENCE THAT COUNTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST SEE ON A DAILY BASIS?! MY HECKING WHOLESOME BURGERINO COUNTRY IS RUINED!
you were offered a path to secular rule based governance multiple times over two centuries by various states east and west and every time it's been rejected in favour of religious fundamentalism. if you had your own combat aircraft you'd bomb yourselves hourly over a lovers tiff about an interpretation of a verse in some random islamic document most of you have never read let alone understood.
seething uncontrollably lmao
I would rather just put the muzzies in their containment deserts until they get over the whole religious factional thing. Blowing up cars in a market or the opposite factions church is just poor form. Give em another 200~ years? They might improve?
Shalom Rabbi! How many children have you sacrificed today?
Not enough. I have managed a could hundred penile mutilations though.
And yet your imperialist ass stays buckbroken. You can keep your “secular” cults
Yeah I never understood why two building being blown up was such a huge deal that had to be talked about for years and years, but once I looked into the significance of Solomon's pillars, I understood the forced attention drawn to it.
>third world shitskin is surprised most people don’t see death in their average life
not as crazy as the pentagon footage will be once it's declassified
I lived on the west coast, so it was early for me. I remember being one of the few people that went to school.
I was a teen so I only cared that I got the rest of they day off from school
not as crazy as the collective zeitgeist shift that followed.
A lot of websites went dark. Warez' seemingly vanished
warez did not disappear from the internet as the result of 9/11. the scene was as active as it would ever be during that timeframe, in terms of software/game cracking. piracy died in the mid 2010s as the shockingly low number of old sceners who were responsible for massive amounts of warez bowed out, moved on, or died, or were jailed. the scene never really kept up with the explosion of p2p shit, and most of the newer gen kids were two faced and sold leech access on the remaining topsites despite what they preached on the nukenets. i miss that era now. it was mostly fenno-scandinavian kids with cheap 100mbit pipes in the 00s that fed us all. we have to go back.

Thanks anon, haven't listened to this one before. Only the Stern and Don Imus ones. Are there any other radio broadcasts out there?
kitzer 9 11 archives on youtube has pretty much everything that I am aware of, but apart from Howard Stern, WOR and 1010 news there's nothing that remarkable that I have heard. There's atwo or three "morning jungle" type shows from cities outside NY also on that channel.

>most kino raw footage
LOL SUPERMAN (lost media)
Almost certainly a hoax, though there was allegedly a disposable camera recovered that had pictures of people about to jump from the North Tower
Funnily enough, Werner Herzog of all people sorta confirmed its existence years even before the whole lost media discussions of it surfaced. There's also the fact that the FBI got themselves this one particular footage from the plaza which they withheld for a trial of one of the Arabs planning the stuff that is still ongoing, maybe that's the one. As for the pictures you mentioned, that one was intriguing because supposedly that series of photos were taken around the impact zone. Must've been unimaginably harrowing.
I can't preclude that something similar to "LOL SUPERMAN" exists (though it still seems very unlikely), but I can't believe it was ever uploaded on mainstream video sharing sites, because it would have surfaced by now.
If people were telling the truth about seeing other videos with those titles (which is much more believable), it was very likely the Rosbrook footage spliced with something else
I remember this being on the front page of the paper the next day
Not really, in my thirdies' country with only 2 TV channels available then they made all-day broadcasts about it on both
NEVER FORGET

Sadly, the times are changing.
When I imagine other people looking back on their childhood as I look back on mine, and viewing my generation as I view Gen X, I understand why my kind are hated.
>Gen X
Kek, I meant Gen A, I can never separate the two.
I'm moronic.
I'm gen x barely but I never related to them. I was online at an early age like millenials. I was always into technology. I hated the gen x oh no my life is over already slacker attitude shit. The worse thing about zoomers is they're just a more deranged rehash of gen x
Yeah. My generation is deranged. I think all the best parts about it are too niche to make an actual impact, or one that is good anyway.
We're not hard workers, we're not that intelligent, we're not hardened. Life is very easy.
I think we're riddled by the consequences of mental issues rather than physical ones. Not that everything is our fault, but most of us lack the basic action to attempt to solve our problems.
Well hey it's nothing new. Just be proud you see what you see and don't fall in with the rest of them. Just do your best, talk to your friends and keep them outta the shit. None of us started these problems when we're young. Just dealing with the hands that wer dealt us.

truth aside from airports being hell and goons with guns everywhere in train stations and airports back then there were laws and privacy and rights and all sorts of shit
I was in 4th grade. I remember my teacher getting mad at me because I was 10 so naturally I didn't take it seriously and mimed a plane flying into a building with my hands.
>4th grade at 10
yikes
you're 9 or 10 in 4th grade
My teacher got mad because I made a girl cry saying the planes were coming for us next
Girls are so fricking dumb
That morning my sister and I turned on the tv after the first plane had hit. We were confused about how an airplane would go off course that badly and hit one of those towers. Then we were watching as the second plane hit the other tower. She immediately asked me if it was terrorism. I said it must be, or something is seriously wrong with the computers and air traffic control system. I remember my father calling us from work. The place he worked for was put on some kind of alert. He told us to stay in the house and look after each other, that he would be home as soon as he could. Then we heard about the Pentagon, and that there was another plane missing
Shit was crazy. It was nothing compared to the after effects and the wars that followed though
has any live televised moment even come close to this level of kino?
It was a monstrous act of civilian murder, and those responsible should be in Prison, but damn was it cool to see it on live tv
Just about everyone tied to the attacks are dead now or in prison
everyone bombed here deserved it
depends on what channel you were watching.
Frick no
The second Iraq war. The whole "Shock and Awe" of the initial invasion. Seeing live televised strikes was incredible. Seeing the juggernaut that is the US military go apeshit was incredible. The footage doesn't really do it justice though. You can find Youtube videos detailing the plan in action and see the sheer amount of planning and execution that went into that invasion. Fricking incredible
“Severe Clear” is a great doco about the invasion of Iraq, shot on camcorder by a marine during it.
Be warned there’s a lot of gore.
there's a webm of the wider flight plans for the initial invasion and its basically so immense no other country could fly or organise that many commercial planes and it was a fraction of us air power.
I remember how the news set a 24-hour countdown on the screen before the bombing. It's like a goddamn new year celebration or something.

one of the most excited nights of my life and I have a child
OJ's Bronco chase is much better than this shit.
Nope, and even if something far more significant (or even far more spectacular) happens it still won't, because of how diffused media is nowadays. Everyone worldwide watched it all unfold live on the same few streams.
9/11 happened at the perfect time
Now you’d be able to watch it live with your favorite streamer and get some epic reaction clips. Can we get a W in chat
Do you do that now with major happenings?
The parasocial elements suck. You get a feeling of how your streamer acts. If they're shitposty, if they would laugh or cry or jack off to it. News people are pretty intentionally boring. They're strangers. Seeing them break the act is better. I guess the same goes for streamers but whatever. But I would rather see John Bumblefrick cry over the two towers than Hasan jack off to the thought of dead Americans or some video game streamer go "aw man, that's crazy."
>Seeing them break the act is better.
The Regis and Kelly from the morning of 9/11 was pretty good with this, in a cringe sort of way. They were literally live on air as it was breaking and had to pretend to not be vapid morons until Peter Jennings got his driver to haul ass to ABC News studio. Kelly Ripa just started there and they really had no chemistry yet, either, which made it worse.
I saw that last night. The cut to commercial was pretty silly. I wish I could find the clip of someone going "HOLY FRICKING JESUS" at the sight of the towers coming down and the news presenter goes "We apologize for the language you just heard."
In terms of the chain of events of things and it being this dramatic roller coaster of expectations, I don't think so. It very well be the most theatrical live TV event this century and nothing could come close unless World War 3 is finally happening with nukes and all, or there's public first contact with aliens or something.
>or there's public first contact with aliens or something.
I hope you realize that entire subject is a massive psy-op
One of the worst days ever. Me my brother and my dad went to the World Series a year earlier and we visited the towers my little brother ate a slice of burnt pizza from the 101st floor you could take your slice of pizza and sit at the windows there was like a step down and you could see the street 1000ft below
I slept through it, I didn't see it until I woke up and building 7 had just collapsed.
>building 7 had just collapsed
The CIA is tracking you now.
There never was a building 7.
some channels missed good angles from the 2nd plane, only caught the explosion and were confused for a few minutes about what actually happened at 9:03.
ABC, FOX NEWS and FOX 5 (Good Day NY) pretty much got it instantly, NBC, CBS, and CNN needed like 5 minutes to figure it out with the replays.
Why anyone give a frick if 9/11 happened today?
yes, the only difference is social media. You would have woke tiktok zoomers defending the terrorists
They handed sweets at our local religious centers lmao.
I remember like after a week everyone was freaking out about anthrax and talking about how to seal your house shut with duct tape as if Al Qaeda was going to attack Frickall, Missouri with crop dusters or something, and then by the end of the month everyone got on with their lives again.
It was one of those Halley’s Comet type single day American happenings. Pearl Harbor, JFK, 9/11. The shit that only comes around once in a generation and changes everything, and if you were conscious and aware at the time you never forget where you were when it happened. Thinking about it today is still fricking bizarre that I lived through all that. Going down the youtube rabbit hole is interesting still but nothing will ever come close to that feeling of watching it live.
Yeah my social studies teacher had to sit down when the first tower collapsed. He just kind of collapsed into a seat. Kind of crazy to witness something that would drastically change history in my lifetime and all I remember is that guy’s reaction. Got to watch the Iraq invasion live during spring break a couple years later.
>ran with my dog to a farmer's house and told him to turn on the TV
Frickin BASED. Just walking into a random neighbors house and TELLING them to turn on the TV.
>LYLE!
My dad came and picked me up from school. As if some grade school in bum frick nowhere West Virginia with like 500 kids was going to be their next target. On the other hand though it gave me an opportunity to joke about how all the kids who didn't get picked up had parents who didn't love them.
it was aight
I remember brushing my teeth while I watched it live.
Then I went to school and the whole class talked about super saiyan Goku
Why the hell would teachers show the footage of this to children? That's fricked up
we werent b***h made like the 40% gay generation of now
the gay generation was raised by you millennials

Its easy from where we sit to know where the attack began and ended, but if you get news that downtown new york is being attacked/bombed then you have no idea whether other cities are being attacked, if you're supposed to evacuate, if you're supposed to go to bomb shelters, etc.
If you are near somewhere thats targetted the government may want to tell you to stay with your school so that parents know where you find you, or they may direct teachers to get everyone to a safe place or send them home individually.
Its a good policy to just have everyone tune in if there is a truly national scale emergency, and since planes hit both the twin tower and the pentagon it seemed like it was an attack at a national scale.
True. I remember skyscrapers being evacuated across the country. People were fricking terrified.
They rolled a TV in to our class room to let us watch the live news coverage, everyone was pretty respectful because this was a rural part of the UK before we got colonized by foreigners. As for why? It's history and it's important, people make fun of the event now through a jaded lens.
>people make fun of the event now through a jaded lens.
No, it's simply because people finally understand that Americans deserved it because they are agents of the devil. We laugh because it's divine justice, just like what happens to the Black folk with Katrina.
Where are you from?
New England.
Thanks!
You're a non-white aren't you?
I'm literally a descendant of Robert Williams. How's your bloodline?
Teachers are overpaid propagandists.

Parents were driving to my school in suburban Texas to pick up their kids and get them to safety. I swear everyone in the country instantly lost about ten IQ points on 9/11 and never got them back.
Texans losing 10 IQ points leaves them in the negative on IQ points.
Incidentally this was roughly the same year that "Texans r dumb" became a stereotype, thanks to George Bush. Before that they were stereotyped more as tacky and aggressive.
That's because it's mostly brown.
>be kid getting picked up by my grandparents that day
>they are super serious, nearly in tears, saying something terrible has happened
>a million things go through my mind, thinking my parents may be dead to aliens are attacking
>they say the New York twin towers were hit by planes
>both a huge sigh of relief that my parents are okay, followed by complete confusion on what the twin towers were
any other real life kinos where they blew all the cgi budget on the main event and did a sloppy job for the rest of it?
The 9/11 exhibit at ground zero is insane. It completely makes you relive the day to the point it's draining and Americans should be able to experience it.. It's moronic that it costs as much as it does to see it.
Oy Vey give us money to Never Forget!™
Visited last year in September, the part of the exabit that struck me most was they had a portion of the collapsed towers, like 5 floors that had just sandwiched together into a composite maybe 2 feet thick.
Just the sheer forces involved in the collapse of a 110 story building is mind boggling.
The fire chief for NYC believes it was an inside job/false flag. The guy that interviewed the chief got his channel demonetized for it.

Tyler is a kino youtuber too, I love his documentaries
I watched live before my lunch shift at Don Pablo’s. I remember being very upset that people were having lunch and laughing like everything was normal.
Post the italian-american talking like it's a sopranos character
They really talk like that?
muslims blew up 300 marines in beruit and had been targeting unarmed people and civilian planes through the 70s. They were always viewed as despicable murderers that had no discernible morals and habitually kidnapped and murdered
Listening to Christopher Hitchens shit on Muslims nonstop was the best part of 911
i slept through 9/11
Man AI fricking sucks
I got woken up for after the 1st one went down. I was like wtf are you waking me up for I dont give a flying frick about new york or any of the people that live there and went back to sleep.
I was in California so by the time I woke up for school the shit had already gone down. We didn't have school that day though.
i was in brooklyn in the 5th grade when this happened, my brother and step dad were half a mile away from the towers (theyre fine) . non stop sirens in the distance and i could see the plume of smoke. was surreal but i couldn't understand the gravity of what was to come
>9/11 was recorded in front of a mostly alive studio audience.
It was pretty fricking nuts. I was in high school. The news kept pouring in, the WTC, the Pentagon, one of the hijacked planes crashed in rural PA. We thought it was Red Dawn for a couple hours and paratroopers were going to start landing in our back yards.
cast it
The Rock as the first airplane. Kevin Hart as the second airplane.
the raw footage is better than any reenactments possible. the story is also too linear (there's no redemption or happy endings) and complex (depending on what perspective you chose to portray) to convey in a normal film.
but i think in 40 or 60 years, someone will probably do a Titanic-type nostalgic romantic tragedy with 9-11 in the backdrop.
>there's no [...] happy endings
Americans died. What can be happier than that?
haha, very edgy based comment, anon, good one
Swede here. I remember being in third grade and they rolled in a TV and the teachers cried. I didn't understand what was happening and did some coloring.
>"the [swedish] teachers cried"
>for an American tragedy
the sheer state of sweden holy shit
How did the terrorists pick the one day most of the military was out in the ocean doing wargames? How did the ~~*plane*~~ make it through the no-fly-zone over Washington DC?
The best most accurate theory I’ve seen about something being not true is a fireman being interviewed on YouTube saying the second building collapsing could’ve only happend is if the structure supports underground were blown up by someone
That fireman sounds like a chud. I bet he would had fit perfectly here.
>5th grade
>teacher is from new york, shows us a picture of her by the twin towers she had in her purse signed by her mom
>had us watching the news live
>second plane hits
>she fricking loses it, has a total meltdown right there in front of all of us, so bad we had to run and tell the principal
>other teachers from neighboring classrooms heard her and run in to try and calm her down
>principal comes in and tells us to take a 30 minute recess
>everyone gets sent home
>get yelled at on the way to the bus by one of the teachers because my friend said "we suck, we got bombed" and I laughed and she heard it
shit was wild
is from new york, shows us a picture of her by the twin towers she had in her purse signed by her mom
lol, okay
>"we suck, we got bombed"
All I cared about back then was getting laid. The fact a terrorist attack had occurred didn't even register.
I was jacking off to porn when the planes hit the towers (both)
true story
How slow was your dial-up connection that day?
I saw cartoon porn on Newgrounds for the first time on 9/11, shit was rad.
>wake up around 7 or 8 am
>aunt calls us and says turn on the news
>says "school is cancelled btw"
>gladly go back to sleep
I have zero family or friends outside of my home state.
As much I would love to see WW3 I think the USA will collapse in on itself first.
the american response to 9/11 has been 100000x more devastating than the actual 9/11 terror attack
I cried and shit my pants I was a baby
My Dad was working in a nearby building the day it happened. Saw the 2nd plane hit from his office.
Those Americans deserved to die.
No.
>not murican
>it wasted 2+ days of morning cartoons (and like most the day) on pretty much every channel
Far more important shit didn't get the sheer endless coverage two buildings on the other side of the planet did. Years later find out that there were 3 other planes/targets and don't even recall them getting much attention. Hell the pentagon on was mostly mentioned in passing, even though that THE most important piece considering somehow the US military let a plane hit their building. Bizarre.
I remember them catching a van full of explosives on the George Washington bridge and another van with traces of explosives but they let them go because they were Israelis.
>Dude 9/11 was so kino lol... real life kino! Like a movie but real! Damn this changed the country so much bro zoomers will never understand... member airports? Member before my parents got divorced? They said it wasn't my fault though haha... but yeah I wish I'd been there it was so fricking kino it makes me hard as frick. Inside job? What? Dude the government would never do that that's a conspiracy lol... anyway now watch this drive haha
Perfect building demolition into its own foot print, didn't topple a side (where the hole was) crushing 4+ buildings. Yes I know some buildings next to them got a little damage but the chunks should have stayed intact like you see during failed demos.
So, uh... Why did you invade Iraq?
You don't deserve to live, Muslim.
So, uh... You don't even know why you invaded Iraq?
Because there was frick else to do and because we could. Seethe harder homosexual.
Ignore them, most normal Americans are still wondering this.
Oh it was. Lived in a student house and come down and it was on tv, housemate being all "a plane hit the world trade centre"....and then BAM out of nowhere BOOOM
Holy shit!!
i was super excited by it, like it was a film
didnt really occur to me as a seven year old that there were people in the building
I remember seeing the terrorists' passports flutter dramatically to the ground before coming to rest in the beak of a bald eagle covered in jet fuel, as klezmer music played softly in the distance.
Your meme is proof that israelites dont create, they twist and destroy.
>tfw born in '96
I didn't even know about 9/11 until I saw a picture posted on /b/ of that dude falling when I was like 14 or 15. I did however know about the Star Wars Holiday Special.
My dad worked a block away from the towers, he and his coworkers watched people jump to their deaths and I can't even imagine what that experience was like.
I feel like he closer you where to this attack the harder it is to meme, my Dad was never the same after that day
My shit ass teachers didn’t let us watch the news and wouldn’t tell us what was going on. I only had a vague idea that something happened in New York until I got home after school.
eh, i was a wee lad and got to school then they called it off l so i didnt really give too much of a shit until i made it back home and none of the tv stations were playing anything BUT news footage.
same shit happened two years later when the space shuttle columbia blew up on takeoff, but that was on a saturday so none of the cartoons were playing.
lame af
Those motherfrickers were alive till the crew compartment hit the ocean. Can you imagine?
that's fricking brutal. hopefully they passed out due to the pressure drop during free fall. RIP for real.
Tbh I can't remember which one it was but yeah one shuttle they died from pressure drop but the other the cabin stayed intact and the died when they hit the ocean
you wanna read about some horrible deaths, read up on the russian space program. RIP to those cosmonauts
That's why they say
>Yuri Gagarin wasn't the first man in space. He was only the first to return alive
it was boring ,just two plain hits
silly op, israelites dont sneak into hospitals to clandestinely murder, they just bomb the whole hospital instead
Not really. It's NYC.
Stupid shit like that happens all the time in NYC, and most anyone I remember talking to at the time was like...meh. It's New York. Let them worry about it. Better you than us, we already did OKC, and you didn't show up for it.
Then for the next month, it was on repeat 24/7. At some point, most people just tuned it out as noise for someone trying to make money off of it.
My parents watched it live during the middle of the night when I was 6
https://vocaroo.com/1w69Z2yT5JiP
yeah and it only cost the idf 30 spare israelites killed in 'friendly fire incidents'
has /misc/ come to bat with a pro nazi pro palestine joke yet? or do i have to write one?
>have 1/3 the population of someone
>start a war of attrition where you lose 30:1
>gloat about their losses
not a good strategy
I changed the channel.
Saddam was a belligerent to Israel and the US was dominated by Neocons at the time.
less belligerent then lebanon, syria, and iran tho. And the first 2 actively got US aid under Bush.
you can lie, you little inbred weirdo.
? How was saddam more of a threat than hezbollah/iran/syria? And yeah Assad was buddy with the US until 2011 and Lebanon still gets US aid.
indeed
It was. It sucked and we were all scared. You could feel the world changing. I live by an Air Force Base and we had a bunch of sonic booms overhead that day and that caused panic and rumors too. It's hard to explain if you weren't there. It makes me mad when people joke about it. I guess like old folks that lived through Pearl Harbor did. You're not edgy and cool, you're just a little prick.
>It makes me mad when people joke about it. You're not edgy and cool, you're just a little prick.
have... have you seen the picture you just uploaded?
Yeah lol. I guess some jokes are okay. It's when people are dismissive of it, like it wasn't a big deal. It was so huge. It changed everything. America was such a nice place before it happened. I was 15 when it happened and remember the good times. It was one of the defining moments of our lives. And younger people don't get it, I guess. It's complicated.
ok boomer
I remember in 96 being nearly toppled by JFK security after walking back to pick up a pen I dropped. I had just left my plane when my pen dropped. I was five feet away when security rushed me. A black cleaning guy urged me to leave it.
Things changed.
>worldies keep making 9/11 threads because they think it bothers Americans
It doesn't. The 20th anniversary came and went and nobody cared.
I woke up, said "that's crazy" to my parents watching it on TV and went back to sleep.
It really was. Minutes of total crazyness.
Karma for destabilising the middle east and forcing Muslims on Europe. Karma for sheltering the Frankfurt school Marxists.
Americans are not welcome at the gates of heaven.
>waaa it's all America's fault my country is turning gay and brown and is overrun and I have no rights or freedoms
Don't care. You should have criticized yourselves, improved yourselves, and then had a revolution. The very reason you are in this mess is precisely because you refuse to take responsibility for your own destiny and instead blame others.
