September 11 - 10 year anniversary

[Kesa]

Well it's been 10 years since it happened. How's everyone doing?





My 2 cents on 7/11. I'm not trying to offend anyone here i'm just speaking my mind. My 2 cents is i don't really understand what the big deal is. Sure 3000 people died and that is horrible in itself but what separates this from the IRA in London or any other terrorist attack i don't know. Why does this attack get so much attention? Seems like an awful lot of attention for only 3000 people. I'm confused. That was my opinion 10 years ago and i didn't understand the significance of it then and i still don't today. Again sorry if i offended anyone here.

What does everyone else think?

That is pretty shocking

The thing that gets me is that all those people die and no one seems to care much but when Americans die the whole world is forced to stop and morn. I think thats why i don't want to see it as a significant event because if i do i feel like i would be confirming that Americans are of a higher sentience than say, people from the middle east. Which is nonsense.

its a curious psychological experiment if you one of those people stuck in the buildings from when they were hit till the point they collapsed. I wonder what i would have done knowing the buildings were about to collapse within the hour - jump out of one of the windows or wait to be pulverized when the buildings collapse? If i had to choose one or the other not sure which i would choose.

PS the whole idea of satanic worship was created by hollywood. 666 came from a movie anyway (i think)  :madashell:

I was also born on friday the 13th!   :eek:

They had no idea the buildings would collapse, at least not the people in the first tower to go.  The people who jumped were doing so in order to escape being burned alive.  The people that were crushed by the collapses were the lucky ones, in that they weren't forced to make such a choice.

What i meant was if you could go back in time and were put in those buildings which would you choose. I'd like to die with dignity so i like to think i could jump.
