Watched it explode with my entire school live, supposedly the crew was alive in their capsule till it fell to the sea.

Hopefully they were high enough up that they were unconscious before hitting the ground.
And investigation revealed that they were likely alive with the cabin intact when it hit the water. If they were conscious they would felt the falling sensations.

I was born in England as my dad was Air Force. He's not one to bullshite, but supposedly we flew Pan Am 103 only a month or two before it was bombed when we were returning to the US for his next duty base.
Just an interesting family factoid I suppose.

I never even knew this was a thing until today. It was apparently prevalent, worldwide around the turn of the century.
Link has many more similar photos and some history.

I don’t believe this at all...
Why The WTC Collapsed
Effects of jet crash and fire on a skeleton steel high rise
A plane that only weighted 10 tons struck the Empire State Building and the high-octane gasoline fire quickly flamed out after 35 minutes. When the firefighters walked up to the 79 floor most of the fire had dissipated. The Empire State Building in my opinion, and most fire chiefs in New York City, is the most fire safe building in America. I believe it would have not collapsed like the WTC towers. I believe the Empire State Building, and for that matter any other skeleton steel building in New York City, would have withstood the impact and fire of the terrorist’s jet plane better than the WTC towers. If the jet liners struck any other skeleton steel high rise, the people on the upper floors and where the jet crashed may not have survived; there might have been local floor and exterior wall collapse. However, I believe a skeleton steel frame high rise would not suffer a cascading total pancake collapse of the lower floors in 8 and 10 seconds. Hopefully some engineer using computer calculations, can reconstruct the effects of a 767 jetliner crashing into another New York City high building. In any other high rise in New York City, I say, the floors below the crash and fire, would not collapse in such a total a cascading pancake cave-in. Most of the occupants and rescuers killed in the WTC tower collapse were on the lower floors.
The Empire State Building
Perhaps builders should take a second look at the Empire State Buildings construction. There might be something to learn when they rebuild on ground zero. The empire state building has exterior Indiana limestone exterior wall, 8 inches thick. The floors are also 8 inches thick consisting of one-inch cement over 7 inches of cinder and concrete. All columns, girders and floor beams are solid steel covered with 1 to 2 inches of brick terracotta and concrete. There is virtually no opening in the floors. And there are no air ducts of a HVAC heating cooling and venting system penetrating fire partitions, floor, and ceilings. Each floor has its own HVAC unit. The elevators and utility shafts are masonry enclosed. And for life safety there is a 4-inch brick enclosed so-called “smoke proof stairway”. This stairway is designed to allow people to leave a floor without smoke following them and filing up the stairway. This is accomplished because this smoke proof stairway has an intermediate vestibule, which contains a vent shaft. Any smoke that seeps out the occupancy is sucked up a vent shaft.

This is a photo of Charlie Chaplin in front of Federal Hall on Wall Steet in 1918. He is standing in front of the George Washington statue that commemorates the spot where Washington was sworn in as our first president.

Just read that human zoo link.
People are fricked up. Seriously, how can human beings be so pure evil. I will never understand it.

I read that link as well. In a few of the pictures it looked like the “exhibits” were smiling. That truly sucks, because I don’t believe half of them knew what was going on. I especially felt bad for the Ota Benga fellow. frick people, man.
