I know it is early, but 9/11 is coming up this Sunday. And since a few documentaries popped up (at least on iTunes), I felt like making a topic about it anyway. So, without further ado, and more importantly, WITHOUT ANY OFFENSIVE COMMENTS FROM THOSE OUTSIDE THE US, let us bow our heads and reflect on those painful (and for some of us, brutal) memories of that fateful. Or we could just wait until Sunday to do that. Oh, and FYI, I wasn't affected (family death-wise) by the attack. Note to mods: I do not have any intention on offending anyone regarding the subject. Here's a video.

I won't give a moment of silence. I won't mournfully recall where I was on that fateful day in 2001. I won't pay my respects to any of the victims. I'm just going to treat it like any other day. And in doing so, I win; terrorists lose.

I actually like that logic, instead of acknowledging what happened we ignore it kinda like a troll. 9/11 was a failed troll attempt by Osama.

9/11 was an inside job created by George Bush.

Im pretty sure he wouldn't have been the president if that were true. A lot of people died that day. I've heard all sorts of crap like the explosions came from inside the buildings ect. The fact of the matter is, planes were hijacked and people died. It was a tradgedy.

I'll be disappointed if terms like "false flag attack" and "stand down order" don't feature prominently in the ensuing discussion.

I can get behind this, despite the fact that I live in New York, remember the day, where I was, and had an uncle fighting to stop it. Terrorism is meant to cause terror, I won't be terrorized. Also this will be a fun thread

It was a joke, I'm just saying you know the whole "conspiracy" discussion people like to have, you ever watch the History Channel and all the BS they come up with in regards to the JFK shooting, "There was nine men in a gully suits and the bullet did a 120degree turn".

Some on the planes were stabbed.

Some died when the plane stuck the building.

Some burnt to death.

Some jumped to their death.

Some were crushed when the buildings fell.

Some will never get over the loss of their loved ones.

May they rest in peace.

You know what I will always remember the most. The heros. I am not talking about the police and fireman that died, because they are not heros. They were just doing their job and that is not a hero in my book. Don't get me wrong, I am not happy they died. But the heros to me of that day are the people on the plane that crashed in the field because those people had the guts to stand up to the terrorist and prevented from hitting another building. Those people are what I call heros, not somebody just doing their daily job that they get paid to do.

I guess no solider should be recognized as a hero. After all, they were just doing their job.

That is wierd. It was all over news. I live inCanada and I found out the next day at School.

But then, it just depends on how much you watch/read the news and socialise, and weather you were going to school or had a job at the time. It's certainly possible to miss stuff like this sometimes.

I remember riding the Elevator to hop the bus to work and this guy was all "the US is unter attack". I got filled in on the bus from a guy with a radio.

And, apparently a 9/11 Conspiracy documentary is counted as FACT on CBC News channel......:|

lol, me either. But if you attend school or workpeople will talk about it. I was in elementry school at the time. This year, untill this month, I wasn't in school though, nor did I have a job. If something like this happened durring then I probably woulnd't have heard of it. :P

Actually... My parrents probably would have heard and told me... I think you would have to be very isolated to not hear about something like this, I was near that point this year, but not quite, lol.

Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people choose that profesion because they are interested in saving lives. They aren't doing that stuff purely for the money. Not all of them anyway. I think they can be classified as heroes.

Currently haven't watched news for years.

lol, me either. But if you attend school or workpeople will talk about it. I was in elementry school at the time. This year, untill this month, I wasn't in school though, nor did I have a job. If something like this happened durring then I probably woulnd't have heard of it. :P

Actually... My parrents probably would have heard and told me... I think you would have to be very isolated to not hear about something like this, I was near that point this year, but not quite, lol.

Exactly, that's how I heard of it! :lol:
