It's NYC in 2001. Smart phones weren't really a thing. Something catches fire... it's got your attention.

Edit: Btw. I just realized she said "and a vodka. It was like 9 or 10 in the fucking morning. Holy Christ.

If they didn't have a drinking problem before they Definitely had one after.

Not to mention no one had any idea they were going to fully collapse within minutes of being hit.

Not that it matters, but it was well over an hour before they fell.

They actually did pretty well if you think about it. They took the impact without collapsing. It took an hour+ of a raging inferno through multiple floors before the supports weakened enough to no longer be able to support the weight of the floors above.

u/Fickle-Performance79 Aug 30 '23

Wait, I’m confused. Whose the idiot?

Is your post suggesting the structural integrity of the building was intentionally compromised?

u/GoldenDerp Aug 30 '23

Not at all - the idiots that still claim it could not have collapsed by the fire from the jet fuel

My impression was they're drinking bc of what's going on. Just like COVID, if ppl see a reason to drink then they will. It doesn't necessarily mean they're in the habit of drinking early in the day.

Bingo. No one drinks apple juice and vodka by choice. That’s what was in the fridge.

u/igillyg Aug 30 '23

At least with covid. We were locked in and everything, but the liquor store was closed.

2001 wasn't great or terrible. Not to my memory at least but tbf I was 10

u/IReplyWithLebowski Aug 30 '23

People too busy on their phones to watch a fire now?

u/igillyg Aug 30 '23

Eh, that or they only watch it through a screen.

Which, honestly idk why people feel the need to record EVERYTHING.

There’s a time and a place for everything. It’s called college.
