Rocko, those of us who watched live on TV probably had a better picture than you, being so close. But we didn't have the sounds and smells and cognitive horror you must have suffered as you wondered what was happening. We were all comfortable and safe in our shock. You must have been horrified. My sincere sympathy for the memories you carry.I was on 90 West street. Across the street from the towers. I witnessed the whole thing
...in a headquarters mission planning for an upcoming op. All work stopped as we watched the aftermath of the 1st plane hitting the tower and watched as the 2nd plane hit. Not long after out phones started ringing, and we had to scramble to a briefing room for a sitrep. By the end of the next day I was packing bags to head to the ME.
The government has since effectively SENSORED the events of what happened that day, declaring - as if we are children who cannot be entrusted to deal with things like adults - they were going to withhold the footage from Americans, never letting us see it again.
IMO this was a MAJOR FOUL, a violation of the Constitution in itself - the censoring of the media / of information to the public.
That footage should be shown all the time, or at least quite often, to remind people of what happened, of what Islamic Extremism / Islamic Extremist Hatred looks like, to remind people that these people are still out there, are extremely patient, and are waiting for the opportunity to it or something far worse again.
The footage would also remind Americans, IMO, of how this attack brought us all together, how we were all one people, brothers and sisters....and remind us, as we look around today, how much our politicians and those among us who hate this country have worked so hard to successfully manipulate us through partisanship and hatred, dividing us to the point today where Americans call for violence and are spurred to violence against other Americans in the name of partisanship / political parties because hate and intolerance are being pushed for the benefit of individuals and parties.
On the verge of the anniversary of 9/11/01, for example, D-Maxine Waters continues to spew hatred, intolerance, and call for a supreme lack of civility, of hatred, & of harassment against others because of her own partisan hatred and intolerance of others' beliefs and ideology.
What she seeks to re-make the United States into through her actions is an attack on the memories of the 3,000 who died on 9/11/01 and on how close that tragedy brought us together. Politicians like her FEED on division, hatred, and intolerance. On the eve of the anniversary of 9/11/01, Americans need to reject embarrassing, unethical, immoral, intolerant hate-pushing, would-be emotional manipulators and dividers like Maxine Waters.
Instead, remember how close we all were on 9/12/01... Race, creed, sex, religion, political preference - it did not matter. We were all Americans, and that was what was important. We did not just tolerate each other....we came together as ONE!
Your memory is faulty.I was in a pre-con meeting getting ready to kick off a new job. The tv was on and we were talking about the first tower coming down (second hadn’t been hit yet).
The North tower was hit, then the South tower was hit about 20 minutes later. Then about an hour later, the South tower came down, followed by the North tower a half hour after that.
Both towers had been hit before either of them fell.
Have wondered how essentially an aluminum plane pierced massive steel girders?
I know speed is involved but does a beer can going 400mph blow thru steel girders?
WTF are you talking about?What paranoia?I must have missed something. I don't see anyone yanking this thread or screaming at you to shut up. So carry on and drop the paranoid routine.Some may use it to stir up hatred and bigotry, SPEECH which is protected by the 1st Amendment. That is no reason to censor the truth / everyone else.I had this discussion a few days ago, too. The problem is when people use 9/11 as an excuse to stir up hatred and bigotry against Muslims and use it to push the agenda of locking Muslims out of the US. We have very movingly remembered the dead with the 9/11 memorial and museum. The tv will be airing 9/11 documentaries all evening. We've already had two threads to remember it, and it's only 9/10.I am not saying you did not, OL. I was referring to the idea we are degrading Muslims by remembering and honoring our dead. THAT is hogwash!It is amazing how snowflakes are more worried about insulting Islamic Extremist Terrorists who would love to behead them or fly their asses into buildings as well, than they are concerned about honoring Americans.
Horse hockey!
Every one of us here mourned for the folks in the towers and the Pentagon who died. That is total nonsense.
None of us will forget and our government is not letting down its guard against terrorists. I do not want to see a day of remembrance for the dead to turn into a rabid right wing hate fest. I am not saying you want to do that, but some do. Don't play into it.
Do the scenes from 9/11/01 get shown on tv anymore?
No.
Why?
Because 'Big Brother' has decided to withhold it from us - to Censor it - because they have decided we ALL must be 'snowflakes' - easily offended children who can not handle the memory of the largest attack on the US on US soil.
They have decided reminding the world what Islamic Extremists did to America might offend Islamic Terrorist and their supporters.
They have decided FOR US that there are some facts, information, lessons that must be kept from us.
They are afraid seeing it again will make Americans mad.
They are damned right...and we should still get angry...and be diligent and intolerant of ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS and those who supported / support them.
Controlling information and the people's access to it is NOT what this country is supposed to be about.
LET ME KNOW IF THEY SHOW THE PLANES HITTING THE TOWERS. THAT has pretty much been deemed off limits. The shows will have memorials, etc......I will be SHOCKED if they are allowed to show that.WTF are you talking about?What paranoia?I must have missed something.

You seriously need to seek some professional help.
Hmm....a quick look at the programming guide on my television revealed no less than six programs airing in this hour alone devoted to 9/11.
Many more throughout the day.

No lie here, dude. I have not seen the images for a LONG time. I was told it could not be shown on TV because it would 'make people angry'. The fact that you say you have seen it - thanks for the info. That's news to me.LET ME KNOW IF THEY SHOW THE PLANES HITTING THE TOWERS. THAT has pretty much been deemed off limits.

It hasnt, dope. I've already seen it more than once today.
In the future, if you're planning to lie, I suggest choosing a lie that is not so easily dismissed.

So not seeing the images displayed on TV and being told by someone who works for a TV station that they do not show it / can't show it because it will 'make people angry' makes me a 'loser'? Spoken like a true hate-filled snowflake.....Such a loser.

Much like your accusations against Trump, you can not support yours now. All you have, as usual, is opinion and hate. Poor sad, bitter snowflake...So not seeing the images displayed on TV and being told by someone who works for a TV station that they do not show it / can't show it because it will 'make people angry' makes me a 'loser'?

No.
Lying as you do makes you a loser.
