Damn, 18 years of 9/11

Let's talk Aguachile Alley

I was working two blocks from the White House, and the news came on the TVs after the first plane hit. More or less watched the second plane hit in real time. Probably should've been more freaked out than I was, but I was more pissed that my Super Mario lookalike boss was kinda giddy about things and kept taking the elevator up to the roof to check out the smoke wafting over from the Pentagon.

Definitely remember that it was a weirdly beautiful day in DC, mostly blue skies, and that the metro was running smoothly and normally around 11:30 a.m. when we were sent home.

I also remember boarding a lot that day. I wonder if those threads are on Archive ... hm, all I see is this page (Users online: G_The_Kiwi, shotfrog)

Stuntman: Hipinion for me is like a choose-your-own adventure where every topic is a direct path to the depressed thread.

what i'll never forget is the party my friends and i threw on the 1 year anniversary of 9/11. we built two huge towers out of our empty beer cans and flew paper planes into them. it was fucking insane. I remember thinking: "I'm definitely going to hell"

Just realized there are a bunch of poor bastards born on 9/11/01 that have to have a chat every time they tell someone their birthday

Dennis Prager is now saying that kids in high school are being taught white supremacists attacked the WTC on 9/11.

Never Forget that 9/11 is the origin of "What I’m talking about isn’t just anecdotal evidence, it is my experience."

David Kravette, a broker at Cantor Fitzgerald, survived because one of the clients he was meeting with that morning had forgotten his driver’s license and needed to be checked in at the security desk; normally, he would have sent his assistant down, but she was eight and a half months pregnant, and he figured he was doing her a favor by not dispatching her to the lobby. Perhaps most amazingly, Monica O’Leary, who also worked at Cantor Fitzgerald, survived because the firm had laid her off not even a full 24 hours prior to the attacks. (She would later rejoin the firm after the attacks. Because all of the human-resources personnel who would have processed her layoff were killed on 9/11, she was never even taken off the payroll.)

Nicholas Reihner was supposed to have been aboard American Airlines Flight 11, his ride home from Boston to Los Angeles after vacationing in Maine, but he’d twisted his ankle while hiking in Bar Harbor and ended up missing the flight. The comedian Seth MacFarlane also had a ticket returning home after performing a gig in Rhode Island, but the travel agent had mistyped the time on his itinerary, and he showed up just a few minutes too late to catch the plane.

And who can forget this incredibly close call: if Mark Wahlberg had been on one of those planes, things would have gone down differently.

9/11 controversy
Rannazzisi had said he had worked in the South Tower of the World Trade Center at Merrill Lynch, on the 54th floor during the September 11 attacks, and described his experience escaping death.[7] He had said the events inspired him to move to Los Angeles and pursue stand-up comedy. In September 2015, after being contacted by a reporter from The New York Times for an article debunking his claim,[5] Rannazzisi admitted his story was a lie.[8][9][10][11] Rannazzisi was never employed by Merrill Lynch, which did not have offices in the World Trade Center then, and did not attend the State University of New York at Purchase, as he additionally had claimed.[5]
