boom.
Well it was an ugly as building anyway. I think it's officially the most featureless pile of rubble (excuse the pun) ever built.
Maybe this time it'll have some frilly bits or something.

I hate to say it (for fear of people getting pissy) but I agree entirely. They were really ugly buildings anyways. Besides you'd think after all the bombings of the us embassies, and the USS Cole, we would have taken the hint and started protecting the homeland.

Except for the Carnage
The collapse was Beautiful to watch.
The shimmering shards
Of whirlling glass!
The great billowing clouds of dust!
Right up there with the eruption
of Mt. St. Helens,
And The Challenger explosion.
But I also think Tornadoes are Beautiful......
From a safe distance of course.

totally... it was beautiful to watch them fall... if only it were being torn down, but then again, they probably couldn't have recreated that if planes hadn't crashed into them...
It's up there with Oklahoma City as far as building destruction goes..

Strangly enough I feel as if I would just accept my fate and ride the pile earthward with exhilarated curiosity...Like Slim Pickens in Dr.Stranglove or how i learned to stop worrying and love the bomb (Stanley Kubrick)
Life has always been a journey of dicovery, I definitly want to be paying attention when the punch line comes.

i went up on the top of one of them a month before it tumbled. alright... so maybe they were really ugly, maybe they did represent capitalism gone bad, but the view from the top was the most beautiful sight i've ever seen. i can't imagine looking out on the city and knowing you are going to die righ there.

conspiracy theory #3458273934
i think it's awfully convenient, while the world at home is being brainwashed by the T.V.s, believing in the world 2002, with all 50 states, and california still high and dry. I have been out looking into this supposed catostrophe.
The government had enough time to stage the entire thing. By not allowing flights to carry swarms of people into the area, they were able to creat the devestation that appeared, fictiously, days before on the news.
Anyone not in on the act were marked as casualities and taken care of, naturally there were plenty of organizations and private citezens that coconspired, since the goverment pays so well.
In places nearby, where pillars of smoke seen billowing thorugh the sky? Where flashes seen as the buildings collided into the planes?
no of course not, this happened in the middle of the day conveniently.
The reason for the media coverage being so retarded, example:
"should we call it an act of war or an act of terrorism", points to the reason why the government would stage such a daring hoax.
It is simple, what they really needed was a diversion. Something that "seemed" more important to us than any number of issues citizens were bringing up to the alien overlords, such as the smoking fines, the rights violations of people who posses drugs, the national conspiracy to deface the curch, and countless lies cast down upon us like a black magician's anchantment from the T.V.
All placed on the back burner.
They were also able to sweep quite a few things under the table during the time of crisis, such as continued alien landings and guided missles entering the atmosphere clearly sent from a space born trajectory.
The soldiers sent to capture the terrorist leaders, all a hoax as well, if you try to find any previous information about this countries dealings you will find that we actually have no records, in fact the country does not even excist, it's Nevada, and anyone that says they are from Nevada are actually living in south west Colorado. Nevada is at war with the U.S.
The Mexian Federales, who were attempting to dig an underground route through the states into washington only made it as far as Nevada before being detected by the sewer rats fitted with video collars.
In fact the only people who know the actual position of the 32 states were Lewis and Clark, and they were assasintated along with Kenedy.
So remember kids, mom and pop are brainwashed, you need to kill the neighbors dog and go to Nevada.
We need your help to fight the war on drugs.
hehehe and I mean "on drugs".

when it happend i couldn't belive it. i went and took pictures cuz it was history happening. mostly thats what it was to me. other than a shock.....i didn't get all sentimental about it. does this and the experiences i've see in other posts concerning this mean we are desensitized? cold? unpatriotic? reasonable? evil? objective? other words i can't think of right now? what exactly do these reactions mean? whyd didn't we too get all mushy about it and cry and plaster red white and blue over every visible serface we could find. why do i find the crying and moaning annoying why can't i spell?

I honestly think that at the time everyone was a little freaked out and amazed and confused. it was such an eerie day. it is weird that if they WEREN'T feeling that that they didn't mention it til now.
i was freaked out when it happened, but i didn't get patriotic because i didn't think it was an attack on "our freedom" but an attack on bush that bush wasn't hurt by. and for people to come out now and say, "Yeah i didn't really care..."
i just don't think so.

I read somewhere that all the firefighters are going to be boycotting one of the memorial dedications because bush vetoed a bill that would have given firefighters over 4 million dollars. I don't blame them... bush just used them so he could have photo-op's... asshole.

an attack on bush? bush wasn't president the world trade center was bombed in 1993, so i think the terrorists' target was a little broader than just one man. maybe it wasn't an attack on our freedom so much as an attempt to hurt us economically, but to say that bush was their sole or even main target is pretty innacurate.

also, i'm not a bush fan, but to say his support of rescue workers was merely a photo-op is a little too cynical. i mean, pretty much everyone was genuinely emotional around 9/11, so to say that bush's emotions were completely fabricated is a little much. sure, he's a moron, but that doesn't mean that he didn't believe the patriotic things he said during and after september 11th

I was in manhattan two days before it happened. We were thinking about what we should do and the world trade center came up. We decided we couldn't figure out why people think it's so great to visit and we skipped it. Two days later in rhode island we woke up to news reports. We wondered what was happening but didn't feel like getting up. All day we sat around watching the tv, bored shitless. We tried going places but it was a ghost town. The gas station was open so I decided to pick up smoking for the occasion. Being in a house full of smokers was driving me crazy (can't beat em, join em). The false patriotism from all was annoying as fuck. Just as I suspected it's almost over now. Frankly, I don't care who did it. I'm sorry for the families of the people who died and that's about it. I think bush was extremely false throughout, but he's like that about everything. They pipe the words through his mouth... that's all he's there for. And thus concludes my take on the incident.

oh and we found it quite funny how the news would overuse the phrase "in light of recent tradgedies...." and then go on to mention something entirely irrelevant. Like a dog saved a drowning boy and "in light of recent tradgedies... this is the kind of heartwarming story that shows you just how great of a place america is"

i'm talking anger fear sadness not confusion amazment etc or saying it went past me unoticed..intellectually i can understand that 3000 people dying is sad and terrible but i did not "feel your pain" i wasn't afraid of another attack i didn't hate anybody.. my friend wouldn't go to nyc for at least 6 months he was scared he went to vigils etc. he ranted viciously for a while against arab people (he's not usually like that at all and he recovered) people went out and beat other people up and called them names. some guy in some southern state i believe shot at a low flying plane because he thought it could be terrorists (anybody else see this story?)though i did feel a renewed connection to the world and humanity cuz more than a sad day for america it seemed to me another example of what horrible things people can do to one another horrible shit like this ( no not exactly like it) happens all the time and this time it was in my space of living and not another country that i read about in the news. so i can say i did feel a sadness then but it was n't really focused on those who actually died. anyway yeah just wondering why it is some people reacted differently just looking for some theories or experiences either side..i probaly worded it wrong
