    The fourth plane is the invisible one we made to fuck everyone's civil rights in response.

    Remember when Homeland Security was a temporary measure? People actually believed it was temporary?

    Frog into a boiling pot and it's been decades in the making.

    My secret conspiracy is that 9/11 was planned and if not it was 100% egged on by America.

    I will never justify what was done that day but they sure and shit had it coming and it was long overdue.

    I was supposed to fly, with my whole family, later that morning. We drove instead.

    From a famous promontory near watchung, with about a thousand people, I watched the second tower fall.

    We had a peer set to interview at C.F that morning, right as the disaster started. He'd missed a ferry and that caused him to be late for his interview. Just as well.

    A number of our friends commuted through that site every morning at the same time. Luckily, they all eventually reported in, but we'd thought they were affected directly for a lot of the day.

    With a toddler! I wedged a little TV between the seats, facing backwards, and played a video of Cathy Rigby's legendary performance of Peter Pan, over and over, all the way down, and all the way back. By the time we got home, I had the entire thing memorized, and I had never actually SEEN it.

    I've had more than one teen ask me why airport security takes so long that's lead to me having to explain 9/11 isn't just a meme.

    It's funny how the two most common sayings from New York are "Never forget" and "fuuugeedddaboutit"

    Just let him not know, damn.

    The whole "never forget" thing was just for justifying their fascist forever war against the wrong people to steal their oil.

    "So you're telling me explosions were seen at the base of Tower 7 and it housed records related to the contemporary audit of the pentagon that it coincidentally failed quietly but no one cared about since we were suddenly at war and there were no reported casualties from Tower 7 at all despite it supposedly being fully operational and housing multiple government agency offices?"

    “No you don’t get it: the debris of the first tower slightly touched the only load-bearing pillar of tower 7, causing it to catch fire, break, explode and with a cascading event taking the whole 190 mt. - 47 storey building down with it. What do you not understand? It’s simple physics man.”
