Does any of it make sense? The "terrorists" learned how to fly a plane, but didn't care to learn how to land? Two or three people take over an airplane with box cutters, with over 200 people on board? None of it makes any sense. I accepted that 9/11 was an inside job only last summer, and it really fucking hurt me emotionally. I lived in Brooklyn and while I didn't lose anybody, I still smelled the rubble. My dad lost a lot of people he did business with.
I knew something was horribly wrong on that day with the Towers because a plane is made of a skin of thin aluminum and even with the engines and full fuel load should not cause steel girders to collapse. I remember seeing POTUS interviewed at Ground Zero the next day or so after with a crew of his construction workers who came to assist. He stated how he watched the Towers constructed and he remarked how he couldn't believe it because it shouldn't have been possible.
He knew.
Then, when the Pentagon was hit, there was no plane on the security camera footage. No plane. It actually looked like a missile, because that's what it was. Then, in Shankesville, nothing but a black scar on the land with a hole in the ground. No parts of the aircraft...engines, wings luggage, seats, clothing etc. Compare to other photos of crash sites. Again, a missile.
For several years I stayed asleep eventhough deep in my heart I doubted. I guess my brain wasn't ready yet, a few years later at a reunion for my husband's late father's WWII airborne unit one of the team member veteran (80 years old) wore a t-shirt to breakfast that said, "9/11 was an inside job". People were shocked, including me and now I could kick myself because I didn't sit down and ask him for details. He was trying to red pill everyone in his unit and their families.
It breaks my heart that you had to be so close to even smell the rubble. You are a victim, too...praying you don't have PTSD. I'm so sorry for your Dad's loss of his friends. His grief must have been overwhelming. Prayers for your family. 🙏
Thank you. I'm sure I have PTSD from other things, not 9/11. At the time I didn't understand what was going on because I was only 16. A few years later I "got it." Shit like "fuck the terrorists," "if you're not with us, you're with the terrorists," "fight them there or fight them here," etc. What was a teenager that knew nothing about the world supposed to do. It's incredible how 20 years can change a person.
I still believe the middle east should be glassed, but now I know it was all a sham.
I was on a plane the day before 9/11.
A man got on, put his carry-on bag in the overhead bin, and sat down in First Class.
There weren't many people on the plane.
He then got up, said something to the stewardess, and exited the plane, leaving his bag onboard.
The plane took off without him, but his bag was still onboard.
Very strange.
I was thinking, "Damn, I hope there's not a bomb in that bag."
He was a White guy.
The next day, 9/11 happened.
If anyone had weapons on board any of those planes, they could have been placed there like that.
OMG...bet you're thought of that many times since 9/11?
