    I remember seeing the footage and thinking that it all looked fake, obviously it wasn't but at the time it seemed too surreal to be true.


    In Massachusetts about 30 miles out of Boston.

    One of the managers where I worked, was lucky, he had a meeting set up
    at the "Windows on the World" restaurant on the top of one of the
    towers. The meeting wasn't until 10am so he wasn't there at the time,
    and he wasn't on one of the hijacked flights either.

    I was on the computer and a message popped up on my screen mentioning
    the plane crashing into the tower. I went out and turned the TV on and
    there it was, a smoking tower. It was on every channel so I knew it was
    real. I watched for a few moments and saw the second tower get hit. I
    rang a friend and told him to turn his TV on. He asked what channel. I
    said it didn't matter. I didn't get a lot of sleep that night, I stayed
    up to watch it all live on TV up to and beyond the tower collapses.

    It happened about 11pm or so our time here if I remember correctly. I
    was sitting at my desk doing something and had a TV on in the background
    as I usually do and noticed whatever was on crossed to some live
    broadcast in the US where they were showing one of the towers on fire
    with smoke pouring out of it. I didn't pay it much mind at first as I
    thought it was just a building fire, but then the coverage seemed to be
    a little more excited than what you'd expect for a regular fire so I
    turned the volume up and that's when I learned that a plane had hit the building.

    Some time later a mate rang to see if I'd seen what was going on, and as
    we were talking on the phone the second plane flew into the other tower
    live on TV.

    You must have been up so early that you never actually went to bed. The
    South Tower was hit our time about 10:45pm, and it collapsed an hour
    later. The other one collapsed about an hour after that. The only thing

    You have that timeline wrong Darren.

    The North Tower was hit first at 8:46AM NYDT and that didn't collapse
    until 10:28AM NYDT, 102 minutes after being hit by American Airlines
    Flight 11.

    The South Tower was hit at 9:03AM NYDT and collapsed at 9:59AM NYDT, 56 minutes after being hit by United Airlines Flight 175.

    I must have started watching a few moments before 11PM AEDT and then saw
    what I initially thought was a rerun of the first plane hitting the
    North Tower. It was actually the second plane hitting the South Tower on
    a live feed of the burning North Tower. It took a moment for the reality
    to sink in. Further confusing the timeline was the attack on the
    Pentagon with Flight 77 and the crash of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

    It was known that Bin Larden was planning something, and it wasn't his
    first rodeo anyway. If they had just gone in and deleted him and his followers, and left the country alone, it would have avoided lots of
    problems and deaths.
    without any serious planning or thoughts as to what do when the wars
    ended.

    That was never possible and with Iraq, they did achieve regime change

    And ISIS

    We are now still dealing with the mess.

    There is no mess now with Afghanistan

    As long as you don't mind it being by the bunch of fanatics, that
    billions of dollars and not a few lives were spent trying to keep them out.

    Additionally: The US suffers roughly three 9/11s worth of murders, via
    the use of firearms each and every year. There have been precisely
    ZERO efforts to reduce this appalling death toll.

    Bullshit on that last

    Depends on where you are in America, it varies state by state.

    Weird, huh?

    Nothing weird about abiding by the constitution

    It all depends on how you interpret it.

    But just deleting him was easier said than done

    That had happened long before 9/11

    that billions of dollars and not a few lives were spent trying to keep them out.

    Hardly surprising that the USA attempted to delete bin Laden
    there, as you have just said was what they should have done

    Where were you based at that time?
    I remember seeing the footage and thinking that it all looked fake,
    obviously it wasn't but at the time it seemed too surreal to be true.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    We had gone to sleep with the TV on, woke up in the early hours, looked
    at the screen to see a plane (The first one, as it turned out) crashing
    into a building. And, same as you,-a movie, I thought.! Then they made
    the announcement about what was actually happening!!.
    -a-a-a Woke the missus and watched it all till the broadcast finished!! (about mid-morning from memory, but it was a long time ago!).

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I`ll have to stop relying on memory for long ago events. :( I see from
    other posts the first plane was before midnight, not the early hours. My Bad

    Then, of course, was the cost to the US taxpayer:

    Clearly affordable and cost FAR less than WW2

    https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/true-cost-iraq-war-3-trillion-and-beyond

    Given the present state of the US economy,

    Which is one of the best in the fucking world,
    in spite of Trump's stupid tariff antics which
    may well have the plug pulled on them if
    Trump loses control of congress as often
    happens in the US midterms

    one could argue that the Iraq warhas cost the US very dearly indeed.

    Only if you are an ignorant terminal fuckwit like you

    Iraq was invaded at huge cost and was clearly an illegal war.

    Corse 9/11 was perfectly legal

    Huh? Invading Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. Absolutely nothing.

    It's what the USA chose to fuck over post 9/11 because
    they couldn't work out where bin Laden was

    We are now still dealing with the mess.

    There is no mess now with Afghanistan

    Unless you happen to live there.

    That mess was there when the talibums
    took over well before 9/11

    Additionally: The US suffers roughly three 9/11s worth of murders, >>>>> via the use of firearms each and every year. There have been
    precisely ZERO efforts to reduce this appalling death toll.

    Bullshit on that last

    Nope. Fact.

    Bullshit, as always from you

    You are such an idiot:

    What a stunning line in rational arguement you have there child

    https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/04/28/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-us/

    Irrelevant to what is constitutionally possible in the USA

    Actually, you are correct. My figures are out of date. In 2024, more
    than 15,000 Americans were murdered via the use of firearms.

    And the reality is that the murder rate in the leafy suburbs
    of the USA is no worse than here, the problem is the blacks
    and hispanics killing each other and banning guns now
    wouldn't change that given how many there are there now

    And your are stupidly lying with your ZERO claim given
    what you need to do there to legally buy a gun which has
    no effect what so ever on the ones doing the killing using
    guns

    The US suffers, year on year, an average of 10,000 murders, committed
    via the use of firearms annually.

    Irrelevant to what is possible under their constitution

    Wrong. You have yet to explain the following words in the 2nd:

    Another stupid lie of yours

    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State...."

    That's saying WHY there is a right to bear arms,
    not that they are only to be available to a well
    regulated militia

    There are quite a number of obvious waysthat the US could deal with
    this.

    Not under their constitution there isnt

    Bullshit. There are many, MANY ways that the US could deal with their
    gun death epidemic, without violating the 2nd.

    Here's one way:

    Every state could emulate the gun control laws that exist in (say) California. California gun laws are the toughest in the US andhave
    been found NOT to violate 2nd Amendment provisions.

    And has has NO effect on murder using guns in that state

    Not only have none of those things been implemented,

    Just just claimed that it has been in california, fuckwit

    Because that would be unconstitutional

    Bullshit. California.

    That has has NO effect on murder using guns in that state

    but many laws which would make Americans safer, have been weakened.

    More ignorant bullshit

    Nope. Fact:

    Nope, more ignorant bullshit given that that has
    has NO effect on murder using guns in that state

    https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/us/politics/trump-gun-rights-laws.html

    Says nothing about the fact that has has NO
    effect on murder using guns in that state

    And blows a fucking great hole in
    your stupid ignorant ZERO claim

    Weird, huh?

    Nothing weird about abiding by the constitution

    I note that the American gun loons fail, as you apparently do, to read >>> ALL of the 2nd Amendment. Particularly these words:

    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free
    State...."

    Doesn't say that that is the only way to constitutionally bear arms

    Then YOU explain PRECISELY what it means.

    Have fun explaining why they fucked over Iraq

    **_I_ don't need to:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationale_for_the_Iraq_War

    NOTHING to do with bin Laden.

    In fact, the US went after the wrong people. The nationalities of the perpetrators were:

    Saudi Arabia: 15 hijackers
    UAE: 2 hijackers
    Egypt: 1 hijacker
    Lebanon: 1 hijacker

    Bin Laden: Saudi national

    In addition to that Bin Laden was financed largely by Saudis:

    https://ict.org.il/tracing-bin-ladens-money-easier-said-than-done/

    "The vast majority of these donors live in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf
    States; though in recent years, donations have also been pouring in from wealthy expatriates in Western Europe and the United States."

    Saudi Arabia is the enemy of the US and has been for a very long time.



    then that would be the most insane reason-a to invade a sovereign
    nation ever.

    There you go again with your insanity stupidity

    **Wrong. Sometimes there are good reasons to wage a war. Invading Iraq
    was one of the dumbest, most expensive mistakes ever committed by the US.


    Read this:

    Get fucked

    **How eloquent. I note that you hate hard proof to disprove your insane claims.


    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-64980565

    Just because some fuckwit lefty journo claims something...

    **Apparently not. The BBC performs pretty well:

    https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/bbc-under-scrutiny-heres-what-research-tells-about-its-role-uk



    That was JUST the shrub's public justification
    for the invasion or Iraq, not the real reason for it

    **Prove it.


    without any serious planning or thoughts as to what do when the
    wars ended.

    That was never possible

    And didn't happen with WW1, WW2, Vietnam or any
    other war, because it just isnt possible and it was
    never going to be possible to predict what would
    happen when Iraq was fucked over that those fools
    would just loot everything. Something Germany
    and Japan weren't actually stupid enough to do
    once WW2 ended

    and with Iraq, they did achieve regime change

    At what cost?

    Irrelevant, that was clearly affordable for the USA

    How about the deaths of US and UK people and Iraqi civilians:

    That's what happens with wars, fuckwit

    **And again: The cost was in human lives, based on outright lies. Then,
    of course, are the trillions of Dollars. Money, it could be argued, that
    the US cannot afford.


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
    Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War#Iraqi_civilian_casualties

    And:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
    Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War#Coalition_military_casualties

    Was it all worth it,

    Likely not, but you can make the same claim about
    WW1, WW2, the US civil war, the pom civil war, the
    french revolution, Napoleon's stupiditys etc etc etc

    **WWI was, indeed, stupidity on steroids. WWII was a completely
    different matter. WWII was a true global war, involving most nations on
    the planet. It was far reaching and it was immediately obvious who was
    the aggressor/s and why they had to be stopped.


    given Bin Laden was never in Iraq?

    It was never about bin Laden and they did eventually
    manage to work out where he was and kill him

    **Yet, YOU claimed it was. Try and stay on point.


    Then, of course, was the cost to the US taxpayer:

    Clearly affordable and cost FAR less than WW2

    **3 trillion Dollars is NOT affordable, particularly in light of the
    fact that the war against Iraq was completely pointless. Iraq NEVER
    posed any risk to the US. Not once, not ever. Russia, Saudi Arabia and
    North Korea are far more present threats.


    https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/true-cost-iraq-war-3-
    trillion-and-beyond

    Given the present state of the US economy,

    Which is one of the best in the fucking world,

    **"The best"? Not quite, but it APPEARS to be pretty decent, except for
    some structural problems that will likely cause significant problems in
    the near future. A $40 trillion debt is one of those, very significant, problems.


    in spite of Trump's stupid tariff antics which
    may well have the plug pulled on them if
    Trump loses control of congress as often
    happens in the US midterms

    one could argue that the Iraq-a-a warhas cost the US very dearly indeed.

    Lebanon: 1 hijacker

    Bin Laden: Saudi national

    Irrelevant to where he organised 9/11
    from and who he chose to use to do it

    In addition to that Bin Laden was financed largely by Saudis:

    Irrelevant to where he organised 9/11
    from and who he chose to use to do it

    "The vast majority of these donors live in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States; though in recent years, donations have also been pouring in from wealthy expatriates in Western Europe and the United States."

    Irrelevant to where he organised 9/11
    from and who he chose to use to do it

    Saudi Arabia is the enemy of the US and has been for a very long time.

    Bullshit with what the Saudi royalty did with the USA.
    including allowing the USA to have a base there for
    the fucking over of Iraq in the first gulf war

    then that would be the most insane reason to invade a sovereign
    nation ever.

    There you go again with your insanity stupidity

    Wrong.

    Nope

    Sometimes there are good reasons to wage a war. Invading Iraq wasone
    of the dumbest, most expensive mistakes ever committed by the US.

    Nothing to do with INSANITY

    It was infact the only thing worth fucking over
    at the time and did achieve regime change

    Read this:

    Get fucked

    How eloquent.

    You in spades

    I note that you hate hard proof

    You have provided nothing of the sort

    to disprove your insane claims.

    You are too stupid to even work out what I have actually claimed

    And haven't got a fucking clue about insanity either

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-64980565
    Just because some fuckwit lefty journo claims something...

    Apparently not. The BBC performs pretty well:

    Bullshit it does with CLAIMS like that

    https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/bbc-under-scrutiny-heres-what-research-tells-about-its-role-uk

    Just another fuckwit lefty journo

    That was JUST the shrub's public justification
    for the invasion or Iraq, not the real reason for it

    Prove it.

    You just did

    without any serious planning or thoughtsas to what do when the >>>>>>> wars ended.

    That was never possible

    And didn't happen with WW1, WW2, Vietnam or any
    other war, because it just isnt possible and it was
    never going to be possible to predict what would
    happen when Iraq was fucked over that those fools
    would just loot everything. Something Germany
    and Japan weren't actually stupid enough to do
    once WW2 ended

    and with Iraq, they did achieve regime change

    At what cost?

    Irrelevant, that was clearly affordable for the USA

    How about the deaths of US and UK people and Iraqi civilians:

    That's what happens with wars, fuckwit

    And again: The cost was in human lives, based on outright lies.

    That happens with ALL wars, fuckwit

    Then, of course, are the trillions of Dollars.

    That was clearly affordable for the USA

    Money, it could be argued, that the US cannot afford.

    Only by ignorant fuckwits like you

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
    Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War#Iraqi_civilian_casualties

    And:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
    Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War#Coalition_military_casualties

    Was it all worth it,

    Likely not, but you can make the same claim about
    WW1, WW2, the US civil war, the pom civil war, the
    french revolution, Napoleon's stupiditys etc etc etc

    WWI was, indeed, stupidity on steroids.

    But that stupidity was the result of the
    alliances triggered by the assassination

    WWII was a completely different matter.

    Duh

    WWII was a true global war,

    Bullshit it was given that so many were never involved at all

    involving most nations on the planet.

    More ignorant bullshit

    It was far reaching and it was immediately obvious whowas the
    aggressor/s and why they had to be stopped.

    Just as true of WW1

    given Bin Laden was never in Iraq?

    It was never about bin Laden and they did eventually
    manage to work out where he was and kill him

    Yet, YOU claimed it was.

    Like hell I ever did

    Try and stay on point.

    Go and fuck yourself, again

    And you have the same problem with your stupid ZERO claim below

    Then, of course, was the cost to the US taxpayer:

    Clearly affordable and cost FAR less than WW2

    3 trillion Dollars is NOT affordable,

    Corse it was given the US economy managed it fine

    particularly in light of the fact that the waragainst Iraq was
    completely pointless.

    The point was REGIME CHANGE, which worked

    Iraq NEVER posed any risk to the US.

    It wasn't about risk to the US and WW1
    and WW2 and Vietnam weren't either

    Not once, not ever.

    Neither were WW1, WW2 and Vietnam,
    let alone panama, the spanish american
    war, etc etc etc

    Russia, Saudi Arabia and NorthKorea are far more present threats.

    None of those were a risk to the USA

    https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/true-cost-iraq-war-3-
    trillion-and-beyond

    Given the present state of the US economy,

    Which is one of the best in the fucking world,

    The best"?

    I said ONE OF THE BEST, fuckwit

    Not quite, but it APPEARS to be pretty decent,

    Actually is very decent

    except for some structural problems that will likelycause significant problems in the near future.

    More of your mindless bullshit

    A $40 trillion debt is one of those, very significant, problems.

    Bullshit and $3T is fuck all of that

    in spite of Trump's stupid tariff antics which
    may well have the plug pulled on them if
    Trump loses control of congress as often
    happens in the US midterms

    one could argue that the Iraq warhas cost the US very dearly indeed.

    Only if you are an ignorant terminal fuckwit like you

    $3 trillion Dollars is not insignificant. Even to the US.

    Its fuck all of $40T

    Iraq was invaded at huge cost and was clearly an illegal war.

    Corse 9/11 was perfectly legal

    Huh? Invading Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. Absolutely nothing.

    It's what the USA chose to fuck over post 9/11 because
    they couldn't work out where bin Laden was

    Nope.

    Yep

    They invaded Iraq based on a bunch of lies.

    That was JUST their public justification

    It was actually about regime change and
    making it clear that the US wouldn't do
    nothing after an even like 9/11

    We are now still dealing with the mess.

    There is no mess now with Afghanistan

    Unless you happen to live there.

    That mess was there when the talibums
    took over well before 9/11

    Additionally: The US suffers roughly three 9/11s worth of murders, >>>>>>> via the use of firearms each and every year. There have been
    precisely ZERO efforts to reduce this appalling death toll.

    Bullshit on that last

    Nope. Fact.

    Bullshit, as always from you

    You are such an idiot:

    What a stunning line in rational arguement you have there child

    I like to call a spade, a spade. You're an idiot.

    Says the idiot that stupidly made the ZERO claim
    and then made a complete fool of itself claiming
    that doing what California has done NON ZERO
    would fix the problem in the USA

    https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/04/28/what-the-data-says- >>> about-gun-deaths-in-the-us/

    Irrelevant to what is constitutionally possible in the USA

    Nope. I just cited fact.

    Like hell you did

    Actually, you are correct. My figures are out of date. In 2024, more
    than 15,000 Americans were murdered via the use of firearms.

    And the reality is that the murder rate in the leafy suburbs
    of the USA is no worse than here,

    Oh really.

    Fraid so

    Let's see your proof of that claim.

    https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_88957b9d-6811-4b91-985c-24ebfe720a24

    I won't hold my breath.

    Pity about that...

    The facts are pretty simple:

    We'll see...

    I live in the deadliest city in Australia.

    Bullshit you do, not even close https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_f236a842-94de-4ad9-822f-18322b06c7d1

    I am TWENTY TIMES less likely tobe shot to death than an American. Regardless of where he/she lives.

    Pity we are discussing LEAFY SUBURBS of america, fuckwit

    the problem is the blacks
    and hispanics killing each other and banning guns now
    wouldn't change that given how many there are there now

    And your are stupidly lying with your ZERO claim given
    what you need to do there to legally buy a gun which has
    no effect what so ever on the ones doing the killing using
    guns

    Huh? Prove your insane claim.

    Just did

    The US suffers, year on year, an average of 10,000 murders,
    committed via the use of firearms annually.

    Irrelevant to what is possible under their constitution

    Wrong. You have yet to explain the following words in the 2nd:

    Another stupid lie of yours

    I copied the words from the 2nd. So, not a lie. FACT.

    What I said referred to the EXPLANATION, fuckwit

    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free
    State...."

    That's saying WHY there is a right to bear arms,
    not that they are only to be available to a well
    regulated militia

    Really?

    Fraid so

    Then, I'll ask you once more:

    What, PRECISELY, do those words mean?

    That in order for there to be a well regulated militia,
    there needs to be a right to bear arms, FUCKWIT

    There are quite a number of obvious ways
    that the US could deal with this.

    Not under their constitution there isnt

    Bullshit. There are many, MANY ways that the US could deal with their
    gun death epidemic, without violating the 2nd.

    Here's one way:

    Every state could emulate the gun control laws that exist in (say)
    California. California gun laws are the toughest in the US andhave
    been found NOT to violate 2nd Amendment provisions.

    And has has NO effect on murder using guns in that state

    You are not an idiot. You are a fucking moron. Points:

    We'll see,,,

    * Prove your claim.

    YOU made the claim that that would fix the homicide rate
    in the USA

    YOU get to do the proving

    THAT'S how it works

    * The US has no impediment for those who may care to transport firearms across state lines. Therefore, the state with the weakest gun laws, will dictate how easy it is to obtain firearms in the state with the toughest laws.

    And given that there is no impediment to blacks and hispanics
    from selling guns to each other even if the whole of the USA
    had the same gun laws as California, that would do nothing
    useful about the homicide rate given the number of guns
    already out there

    * Compared to, say, Australia, California has very weak gun control laws.

    Duh and our gun laws have done nothing useful
    about about criminals killing each other or even
    about those killing each other using knives and
    machetes

    Not only have none of those things been implemented,

    You just claimed that it has been in california, fuckwit

    The laws need to be implemented across ALL states.

    Wouldn't make any difference given the number of
    guns already out there that the california gun laws
    have no effect on what ever

    Because that would be unconstitutional

    Bullshit. California.

    That has has NO effect on murder using guns in that state

    Prove it.

    YOU made the claim that that would fix the homicide rate
    in the USA

    YOU get to do the proving

    THAT'S how it works

    but many laws which would make Americans safer, have been weakened.

    More ignorant bullshit

    Nope. Fact:

    Nope, more ignorant bullshit given that that has
    has NO effect on murder using guns in that state

    Stop changing the subject moron.

    No subject has been changed, fuckwit

    I will re-state:

    Many laws which would make Americans safer, have been weakened.

    Bullshit they have

    https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/us/politics/trump-gun-rights-laws.html

    Says nothing about the fact that has has NO
    effect on murder using guns in that state

    Not the point.

    Its the complete point

    And blows a fucking great hole in
    your stupid ignorant ZERO claim

    Not even close.

    The california gun laws ARENT ZERO, fuckwit

    Are you suffering dementia now?

    You never could bullshit your way out of a wet paper bag

    You have my sympathy.

    You don't have mine

    Weird, huh?

    Nothing weird about abiding by the constitution

    I note that the American gun loons fail, as you apparently do, to
    read ALL of the 2nd Amendment. Particularly these words:

    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free >>>>> State...."

    Doesn't say that that is the only way to constitutionally bear arms

    Then YOU explain PRECISELY what it means.

    Just did above

    Nope.

    Yep

    I will ask once more:

    And you get to read what I said, again

    What do these words mean:

    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State...."

    Just told you, twice now

    The meaning of those words is clear and unequivocal to any sane
    person.

    So now you are stupidly trying to claim
    that all of the supremes are barking mad

    Well, the majority clearly are.

    Yet another of your terminal stupidtys

    Yep. Definitely dementia.

    You never could bullshit your way out of a wet paper bag

    Get help now.

    You have always been way beyond any possibility
    of help apart from a bullet in the back of the neck

    You have that timeline wrong Darren.

    How pedantic are you. By your own admission you saw the second tower hit
    just around 11pm. You state that it was 17 minutes after the first one.
    In which case Noddy stating it occurred around 10.45pm is pretty much on
    the money.

    The North Tower was hit first at 8:46AM NYDT and that didn't collapse
    until 10:28AM NYDT, 102 minutes after being hit by American Airlines
    Flight 11.

    The South Tower was hit at 9:03AM NYDT and collapsed at 9:59AM NYDT, 56 minutes after being hit by United Airlines Flight 175.

    I must have started watching a few moments before 11PM AEDT and then saw what I initially thought was a rerun of the first plane hitting the
    North Tower. It was actually the second plane hitting the South Tower on
    a live feed of the burning North Tower. It took a moment for the reality
    to sink in. Further confusing the timeline was the attack on the
    Pentagon with Flight 77 and the crash of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

    Here Darren;-a https://timeline.911memorial.org/timeline/10681

    Try not to distort facts in order to satisfy your own delusional ends.

    The only difference is that he stated the first tower collapsed an hour
    later where it was 40 minutes longer. He's recalling it from memory
    which funnily enough tends to compress time when something like this
    happens.

    On the other hand in order to try and prove a point you've gone to a

    of egg on your face.

    I watched the whole event almost from the very beginning. I received,
    IIRC, a message that said something about the WTC so I tuned the TV on.
    I did that in time to get the gist, roughly, of what was going on and
    watch the second plane hit the other tower. As I said, I initially
    thought I'd just seen a rerun but soon realised it was a new attack. I
    watched the whole thing all through that night.

    They have just had all the memorials on the tower for the 25th
    anniversary of 9/11 and I watched a few over the past few days so the
    timeline has become *re-ingrained* into my mind. As soon as I saw
    Darren's post, I *knew* he was talking shit and a a quick visit to the
    *the 911 memorial* timeline confirmed my thoughts. Darren has it all wrong.

    In Trevor's defence, it was very hard to get a full sense of the
    enormity of what had happened that day until maybe a few days had gone
    by because, quite simply, even the media was confused. But Darren did
    himself a disservice by trying to shit on someone with incorrect info.
    That's why I went to the timeline website - to make sure I had my facts straight whereas Darren can't even remember his lies.

    You have that timeline wrong Darren.

    How pedantic are you. By your own admission you saw the second tower
    hit just around 11pm. You state that it was 17 minutes after the
    first one. In which case Noddy stating it occurred around 10.45pm is
    pretty much on the money.

    The North Tower was hit first at 8:46AM NYDT and that didn't
    collapse until 10:28AM NYDT, 102 minutes after being hit by American
    Airlines Flight 11.

    The South Tower was hit at 9:03AM NYDT and collapsed at 9:59AM NYDT,
    56 minutes after being hit by United Airlines Flight 175.

    I must have started watching a few moments before 11PM AEDT and then
    saw what I initially thought was a rerun of the first plane hitting
    the North Tower. It was actually the second plane hitting the South
    Tower on a live feed of the burning North Tower. It took a moment
    for the reality to sink in. Further confusing the timeline was the
    attack on the Pentagon with Flight 77 and the crash of Flight 93 in
    Pennsylvania.

    The only difference is that he stated the first tower collapsed an

    You're projecting again Darren. You cover your arse *all the time* with
    *lies* and *bullshit*. You've been doing it for *decades* with the lies
    and bullshit getting more fantastic year by year. And, yes, you never

    You must have been up so early that you never actually went to
    bed. The South Tower was hit our time about 10:45pm, and it
    collapsed an hour later. The other one collapsed about an hour
    after that. The only thing you were watching live the next day
    was the aftermath.

    You have that timeline wrong Darren.

    How pedantic are you. By your own admission you saw the second
    tower hit just around 11pm. You state that it was 17 minutes after
    the first one. In which case Noddy stating it occurred around
    10.45pm is pretty much on the money.

    The North Tower was hit first at 8:46AM NYDT and that didn't
    collapse until 10:28AM NYDT, 102 minutes after being hit by
    American Airlines Flight 11.

    The South Tower was hit at 9:03AM NYDT and collapsed at 9:59AM
    NYDT, 56 minutes after being hit by United Airlines Flight 175.

    I must have started watching a few moments before 11PM AEDT and
    then saw what I initially thought was a rerun of the first plane
    hitting the North Tower. It was actually the second plane hitting >>>>>> the South Tower on a live feed of the burning North Tower. It took >>>>>> a moment for the reality to sink in. Further confusing the
    timeline was the attack on the Pentagon with Flight 77 and the
    crash of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

    Here Darren; https://timeline.911memorial.org/timeline/10681

    Try not to distort facts in order to satisfy your own delusional
    ends.

    The only difference is that he stated the first tower collapsed an
    hour later where it was 40 minutes longer. He's recalling it from
    memory which funnily enough tends to compress time when something
    like this happens.

    On the other hand in order to try and prove a point you've gone to
    a timeline website to try and prove him wrong but ended up with a
    fair bit of egg on your face.

    I watched the whole event almost from the very beginning. I
    received, IIRC, a message that said something about the WTC so I
    tuned the TV on. I did that in time to get the gist, roughly, of
    what was going on and watch the second plane hit the other tower. As
    I said, I initially thought I'd just seen a rerun but soon realised
    it was a new attack. I watched the whole thing all through that night.


    Congratulations. So did I and millions of others. That doesn't make
    your recollection any better than anyone else's. >
    They have just had all the memorials on the tower for the 25th
    anniversary of 9/11 and I watched a few over the past few days so
    the timeline has become *re-ingrained* into my mind. As soon as I
    saw Darren's post, I *knew* he was talking shit and a a quick visit
    to the *the 911 memorial* timeline confirmed my thoughts. Darren has
    it all wrong.


    No he doesn't. He basically said almost exactly the same thing you did.> >>>> In Trevor's defence, it was very hard to get a full sense of the
    enormity of what had happened that day until maybe a few days had
    gone by because, quite simply, even the media was confused. But
    Darren did himself a disservice by trying to shit on someone with
    incorrect info. That's why I went to the timeline website - to make
    sure I had my facts straight whereas Darren can't even remember his
    lies.

    We weren't talking about Trevor, this is just a distraction thrown in
    to try to take away from the fact that your obsession with Darren is
    causing you to read more into what was said in an effort to prove him
    wrong. In this case you ended up with large amounts of egg on your
    face. Watch out for Bird flu now...

    The event was 25 years ago, anybody who says that they can remember
    the timeline to the minute must have a mighty memory or be
    bullshitting. I know that I certainly can't, I only remember it
    relative to the time that I started work, anyway, only the truly
    obsessed would be bothered.

    we tend to remember what we were doing when major world events happened.

    Yep, certainly can. I can recall the night of 9/11 like it was
    yesterday. I sometimes wish it never happened because the changes it
    wrought will never go away, at least not in my lifetime.

    I remember this because I was in the lounge room exercising with-a the TV
    on low in the background. after a while that broadcast caught my
    attention, and I wondered what it was I was seeing. I also remember what
    I was doing when JFK was assassinated. I was in a train traveling to
    work in the city, and ppl started saying he had been shot. it was not
    known initially that he was killed. someone must have been listening to
    a tranny. (a radio not a transvestite) I don't remember where I was or
    what I was doing when Elvis died tho. I wasn't interested in him.

    I was in a car, a Mazda 929, traveling from town out to the caravan park
    with Joe, the manager of the newsagency. About halfway there, the news
    came over the radio. We were both stunned. They played a song afterwards
    from his last live concert and, from that, I could recognise he was
    struggling even to stay in tune. Prior to that I hadn't even realise he
    was so unwell.

    There was a time it was worked out that popgun sheriff O'Bullshit was
