You push a button and you are instantly transported to September 10th 2001. Per the rules of the time travel you have to live in that part of time for 1 year. At which point you travel back to the exact moment you left. Any butterfly effects will be put into motion from anything you’ve done in that year.

Here’s the question(s)... would you travel back and accept and butterfly effects? And obviously you are 24 hours before the 9-11 attacks. Would you try and stop them and if so, how would you prove you weren’t involved?

I'd go back to the 60's and tell the Jefferson Parish council to not allow zoning for all those damn apartments they built in the 70's that are all section 8 now...

I have none.

I would also be 14 so that might be a problem.

ETA: Do I stay the same age? Do I have the same access to funds? These are hard questions.

The problem was that the CIA, FBI, and other agencies all had information regarding the attack, but due to Clinton Administration bureaucracy they could not share information.

Think butterfly effects... let’s say you get a bunch of money and buy your dad a super car and he gets in a wreck. Or send your mom on a vacation with you money and she never comes back.. lol I know they’re odd scenarios but definitely plausible. Such a mystery what you’d be traveling back to if you made a whole bunch of money. And you’d travel back to your version of you in 2001.

What were the preseason odds on LSU winning the SEC and Pats winning the Super Bowl that year?

I guess you could call each airline from a payphone and submit a bomb threat for the flights. Then in 20 years go back and do the same thing for whatever flights wound up doing the same thing and keep doing it until it doesn't happen.

But yeah, if that means I don't have my son today then I'd probably do nothing.

Likely wouldn’t be the same result. Different timeline can change EVERYTHING.

Short airline stocks.

Bet the Diamondbacks to win the World Series and Patriots to win the Super Bowl.

If you would have purchased $14,000 of Amazon stock at the end of 2001, it would be worth over a million at the beginning of this year.
