Decent documentary that was on here in the UK a few years back. Someone has somehow managed to squeeze it all onto YouTube.

The first time I saw that I almost puked...and it still makes me feel like puking.

That video puts it all in perspective should anyone forget.

[Golden AWe]

Thanks! I watched the whole clip. Some touching voice clips, photos and video clips there...

You made fun of people getting scared at the unannounced photo op flying of Air Force One through New York, said the heinous post below, and now want to post this?

FUCK YOU!

Wow New Yorkers have been completely owned by 9-11 if they are still shitting themselves over something like this.

Land of the brave my ass...

[Seshmeister]

Not at all, unfuck me.

One of the worst days of my life.....what makes me wanna puke even more is how some try and spin it that it was somehow our fault and not the crazy, fucked up, nut sacks who perportrated it in the first place....

Agreed. If I remember correctly, it turned out this "American Infidel" was a Mexican waiter or some such thing, probably bussing tables for minimum wage.

While there were apparent / obvious failures by the FBI or whoever else to respond to tips of towel-headed pricks wanting to learn to fly planes and not learn to land, or perhaps other alleged tips that filtered in...the bottom line is the religious zealot terrorist towel-headed fucked-up assholes did a horrible thing.

My blood still boils over it...I can't even watch that video because I know it's gonna infuriate me. I remember it all too well.

It is fucking disgusting....I can't even imagine what that guy suffered. And all the others.

[Nickdfresh]

I've never seen that photo before and God it's fucking awful. I was certainly aware of the hellish choice to either jump or burn to death. But I've never seen that...

We also forget that a large number of Muslims, mostly Pakistanis, were also murdered on that day. But then, al Qaida could give a fuck about murdering Allah's children...

But if it's any condolence, if he was a waiter or busser in NYC, he was making a fuck lot more than minimum wage...

[Baby's On Fire]

I remember the first time I saw the photo. I was waiting in the lobby for my rental car and was reading TIME or MCLEAN's or whatever.

I flipped the page and saw that still shot where he was in mid summer sault holding hands with the woman as they fell. I literally almost puked and had tears in my eyes.

I'll never forget it. I don't want to watch this clip so I'm not sure if it's the same pic.

It was so graphic I'll never forget it.

I'm not slamming all Muslims. For a long time I did cuz I was so PISSED. Especially at the images of the chanting and cheering towel heads after 9-11. But I'm older and a little smarter to the media spin.

I know real Muslims abhor this shit.

Sure sounds like you still are...

Much like they abhor being called "towel heads" one imagines...


Still, horrible choice...jump or burn. Hope I'll never have to, but think I'd have to choose the former. The free-fall would absolutely suck, but it'd be over on impact. Burning is a slow, agonizing, horrendous way to die...

[Nitro Express]

Reminds me of the movie Flyboys where they carried a pistol in the plane in case it caught fire. You shot yourself in the head to avoid the agony.

[sadaist]

Does anyone else remember soon after 9/11 the corporate parachutes being marketed & sold? If I remember correctly, they were extremely high priced, but reported as selling like crazy.

Yeah I probably shouldn't have said that but I was referring to the Taliban when I said it....I know it's disrespectful but I don't respect the Taliban.....besides it's not like the Middle East is all that tolerant of "The Jews"

I respect any moderate Muslim.....like Wafa Sultan for example....

But I just don't get their religion...alot like I don't get the Mormons.....but I barely have the patience for most Christianity.....
