Happy 9/11 day.

I always wondered if the plane in PA was shot down or if the passengers really brought it down.

On a somewhat related note, I do wonder if the planes that have gone missing recently were thwarted terrorist attacks brought down by fighter jets.

Group of filmakers following a rookie firefighter coincidentally during 9/11. Footage of first plane and inside the building when the 2nd one goes down.

The part where the fireman are standing in the tower lobby as the first ones on scene. All you hear is sudden booms and glass falling for several minutes, people hitting the ground jumping and landing few feet away but they can't see them. Sticks with you.

The jumpers are definitely the worst part.

Anyone else notice a marked decrease in media coverage of 9/11 relative to last year?

It might just be due to there being no election season going on for politicians to virtue signal about, but I feel like patriotism is down overall in the media since Trump was elected.

Its due to trump literally being worse than 9/11.

I always want to tell Rosie to stfu on 9/11 rememberance day. I worked a refinery fire in the aftermath. A 20"+ pipeline of gas came out of the ground after leaving the cat cracker. It made a turn and the elbow there blew out and caught fire. The platform was probably 100 ft. away. Steel colums 60ft. tall just bent over like a paperclip. Platform was still intact but the torch of gas just had the columns give way and bend, looked like giant paperclip. I wish I had taken a picture.
