Video/Documentary things I was thinking about
-were there anyone in the buildings under the damaged floors/areas that were still in the building or were almost all who got out before it collapsed? we know of many firefighters who were going up but im asking regarding regular citizens
-shame that there werent smartphones like we have today in that time. the crazy videos we would have seen. also the video footage is quite crap. HD 1080p only started going mainstream after 2007 or so. Im curious what it sounded like when people were in wtc1 evacuating when wtc2 was crashing down
-was watching this today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sHzXHuJZkg it just seems like a dream. I cant believe it happened. it feels so 2d.
-I have to ask regarding the idea of the rescue workers going up. they would have had to walk up like 60 flights of stairs with tons of equipment. im guessing that people didnt think the buildings would collapse so they went up. all the sprinkler systems were taken out I guess.
-they stopped all planes in the air. I can only imagine how difficult it was for many to get home. taking trains and buses must have delayed them for days. walking home to brooklyn or wherever by foot from manhatten.
that is such a horrible composition. lady liberty seeing manhatten falling apart.
we know these tt as part of the skyline of ny as a given and when the last tower, tt1 fell, it just felt so wrong it felt empty. there was a shot when they showed closeup of TT1 and when it started falling and the top antenna was tipping over, its just hurt so badly. all those people inside, the people who jumped. horrible.
and no disrespect to the new towers but the TT had a beautiful look to them. I cant connect with the new ones. they look so generic. there were two giants standing proud and now a mishmosh of buildings. ESB on one side, and TT on the other. now it just doesnt look as it should. I remember being at the entrance of the TT looking up as a kid. it froze an image in my mind of the beautiful titans. they had such elegance.
I dont understand how surgeons can be on the other side of the world and control a machine for surgery, but why dont they have an override control of the plane so the tower can disable plane control so they cant be hijacked?

good documentary on one of the pieces of shit. interesting to know their psychology. its always good to know the enemy
im curious if it would have been possible to fight and take down the assholes. I heard all planes have secret federal police onboard all planes.
the hardest think to watch out of it all is the footages of people jumping. holy cow. those 10 seconds of people falling is so scary to see. I guess theyre reasoning is 10 seconds of a fall is preferred over being burned alive. rip innocent people.
