re: Annual 9/11 Thread - 17 Years Later

This is still the most powerful video I have seen to this day. In a tragic way, he almost counts down his own demise.

Watching the 2 hour show 9/10: The Final Hours right now. Oh man, this is really eerie and tingling. Interviews and blurbs from everyone from the Pizza Hut counter person who sold the hijackers a pie the night of 9/10, to the AA counter person who checked their bags... the ramp and baggage crew. People who worked Windows On The World that night or ate there. Random stories of people that should have been there on 9/11 but weren't... the last elevator to make it down from Sky Lobby 78 to GF. so crazy.

Seth McFarlane should've been on the plane that left Boston but he was hungover and missed his flight by 10-15 minutes.

It's sad that it takes an event as horrific as this to bring our country to be united.

If only we could still have that national pride we all felt on 9/12/01. Without a tragedy.

I read something on Facebook with essentially this message that really struck me. To see how far we’ve come from 9/12/01 to today is astounding. We are a country divided on everything...every election, every politician (especially the president), religion, ethnicity, race, all beliefs and morals, how we view policeman or protests, which companies support which side of these things, who wears Nikes or not...so many trivial things. None of that mattered in those days after 9/11. Everyone was united and wanted to help or just hug one another in a way that I don’t expect to ever see again. We were all Americans and that’s all that mattered. It really saddens me to reflect on that and see the state of our country today, not 2 decades letter.
