man...I have to say that nothing raises a visceral reaction in me like this. 7 years later and it still galls me that anyone could hate another so much as to induce something like this

 

[KLin]

I won't be watching this.

Fuck Terrorists. Fuck Wahabbi Islam.

Weren't you the dude that got a thread locked in L&R asking about enjoying excessive masturbation?

How many would have died if everybody had a parachute?
Also why did they jump? Did they KNOW 100% that they would die?

They were above the levels that were on fire, so they had the choice of getting burned alive or pancake by base jumping w/o a chute.

You know those fire alarm exercises they make you do at work? Totally pointless. So many lives could've been saved if they actually evacuated the 2nd tower when the 1st tower got hit.

[Ballatician]

I left the thread because I didn't want to watch but then I came back and watched it. That was so depressing 🙁

 

[Mr. Lennon]

So sad. You wont ever catch me working in a building taller than 5 stories. Especially here in cali with our earth quakes.

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

In essence, fuck Muslims. You can't blame a religion, it's an inanimate concept. It's the people who fanatically follow it and use it to justify such horrors who are at fault. Further, it's hardly "only the radicals". By the standards of other religions, most Muslims are radical.

 

[Kadarin]

I think this is the first time I've been able to watch something like this since it actually happened.

Take it to P&N. Or your next clan meeting. But not here.

To my understanding, the KKK is pro-white and against other races. Last I checked, Islam is a religion followed by people of many different races. I'm also fairly sure you can choose your religion but not your skin color. If you can't think, don't post.

Looking back, yes, everyone should have left. Imagine yourself there, in the moment. You want people wandering the streets, gawking at the carnage while debris is still falling? Makes perfect sense that people were told they'd be safer inside when there was no way for them to know a second plane was destined for the other tower.

I joined the AT forums in November of '01 (my alias at the time was "Astaroth33"), and for a long time I was posting a significant amount of vehemently anti-Muslim rhetoric. Right now, a guy who I consider to be one of my best friends happens to be Muslim, and he taught me that not all Muslims are against the American way of life.

Just a few bad seeds.

I have been watching the History Channel all day, and yes I've shed quite a few tears, but I find it all morbidly fascinating. It's like experiencing it all over again. Has this happened every year?

It seems like this is the first time I've seen so much about it. So much never seen before footage, commentaries, etc. Is 7 years the sweet spot? lol

I saw many people jump today, probably the same ones in this video. You can't do anything but stare with your jaw on the floor, just as everybody that was witness did on that day.
