It's crazy but I mean at this point we gotta look at how to prevent that type of oversight from happening again. Whether u think it was an inside job, ignored intel or not, it's clear that gross negligence allowed those dudes to hijack a plane and crash it.
it's still crazy how a bunch of complete amateurs pulled that shyt off so perfectly

i dont know the mechanics and ease of flying a plane, but to manually turn a fukkin passenger plane around, perfectly find the WTC from hundreds of miles away, and perfectly strike it? it was really that easy? :mindblown: and the pentagon would have been even more difficult

It’s crazy to see how much the hype of the anniversary has died as time has went on. I understand but living through it live to where it is now is shocking.

Anyways, nat geo has the best documentary series made about it. I watched it when it dropped on the 20th anniversary and rewatching today. This brehs story :damn:

As someone who was in and out of them buildings darn near everyday for a couple of years before they came down this shyt fukks me up every year. Used the be high in them buildings delivering payrolls every week to different companies in the towers. Stopped in 97 because I got a job in a lawyers office in the mail room cause I got cool with the supervisor who ran the mailroom.. if not for that friendship I may have still been doing that job in 2001 and would have in that area every day like I was in 97. All the floors that people had no way down after the planes took out the stairwells, I was on them floors. Floors so high you couldn't take one elevator to get to them. Had to take a second elevator. So yeah for some it's just another day but for some like me it's always a day I will be affected by. Now peep the irony I now work for TSA. If it wasn't for them towers coming down there would be no TSA..

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
I remember in this Murphy Lee interview he said he dreamt about 9/11
I think I told this story before, but I somewhat predicted 9/11 in my history class in early 2001. We were discussing the skyscraper boom in the early 20th century when my teacher mentioned an incident where a plane had hit the Empire State Building. It was a very conversational class, and I remember blurting out, “Can you imagine if that happened in this era with the Sears Tower or the World Trade Center?” My teacher briefly mentioned the bombing of the WTC in 1993 before we moved on. Later that year, 9/11 happened.

There were a few other strange instances of 9/11 being predicted elsewhere. One of the Columbine shooters wrote in his diary that if they couldn’t escape after their attack, they would hijack a plane and crash it into New York City. Additionally, there was a TV pilot show called 'The Lone Gunman' that featured a plot where the protagonist had to stop a government conspiracy to crash a plane into the World Trade Center. That episode aired in early 2001 as well. Furthermore, the rap group The Coop had a rap album called Party Music with a cover of them blowing up the WTC that was released prior to or the same week as 9/11.

It’s a phenomenon called precognitive coincidence or retrospective prediction. It’s odd how things like that occur.

Can’t imagine the people above where the planes hit was going through knowing theres life was over and u as a spouse/ partner/son/daughter/ etc etc listening to them call u saying they was trap and then the buildings crashing
That's the shyt that gets me every year. I could of been on one of them floors. You not only had that but underneath the towers was the Path station and the underground mall. I spent so much time in that area. I spent so much time in that area of downtime Manhatten that there were days I didnt even look up at the towers cause I saw them so much I wasn't in awe of them anymore..

Why yall making jokes about this? Yall do realize Black people died in those attacks as well?


Every year the local stations in NYC show the name readings of the people who got killed in the attacks. So it's still a big deal in this area. I assume the rest of the country has normal programming on 9/11 mornings.


I remember the smoke pouring out of lower manthattan skyline in the days after 9/11. What's crazy is Flight 587 straight up crashed in the Rockaways that November after 9/11.

My Latino friend was getting onto me saying that remembering 9/11 was very White Anglo lol. Yes I know America has done some foul shyt but innocent lives died that day.

BTW I didn't know that the 93 bombing of the world trade center was also done by al qaeda
