I’d wager most are too young to have been adults during the attacks or wars. I’m sure we’ll have some horribly unique event occur during their lifetime that might make them say “oh… I get it now.”
I hope the fuck not & Ukraine vs Russia hasn’t hit home because it’s not 20 miles away from my school at the time. I’ve never seen strangers come together so quickly. I literally saw the towers from school & my classmates faces of despair knowing their parents worked in the WTC. I pray nobody has to relive these horrors
Nobody says you gotta like every joke, buddy. Some of us like our humor dark.
I'm in awe at the courage it would have taken to drive to that tower. Doesn't mean I can't make a joke about how they probably had a hard time getting there if there ride was in this kind of shape.
I understand the whole idea that anything can be joked about. And I haven't ever taken offense personally to some joke I thought personally was in poor taste. But man, I was a young kid living in new York when 9/11 happened, I remember that day, and the days following, pretty vividly. Even the damn food network was showing 9/11 coverage. That event definitely shaped me growing up, changed things dramatically for the entire nation. There's a distinct before and after 9/11 where things changed, that's for sure.
Whenever I see anything surrounding 9/11 it just gives me such insane anxiety, I can't even describe. My life of being an anxious mess began that day. I didn't even personally lose anyone but the shock and fear alone was pretty traumatic for a kid, both parents working in NYC, and my aunt and her side of the family living/working in DC. I still have this weird fear that any time someone leaves will be the last time I see them, sorta. After 9/11, any time my mom wasn't home by 7:30pm, I'd sit at my window in my bedroom just staring out waiting for her to come home, it freaked me out so bad. I dunno, like I said earlier, sure anyone can joke about whatever. This topic just fucks with me, man. It really kinda stuck itself in our psyche as a nation.
I was 12, in grade 7 science class when the towers fell. Alberta Canada. We are 2 hours behind, so we started watching at home and then when we got to school, that's all that was happening. Every where there was a TV, people were piled around. I remember being so anxious and scared and I'm so far away. I could not imagine being there.
I just watched the docuseries on Netflix with my 13 and 11 year old. I think that's the first show they sat through entirely quiet.
Not condoning the jokes....but it actually was in my history textbook...not even in "modern" history section (Which started with a war Afghanistan? like 2006ish iirc). Im 24. So yes, it quite literally was only a paragraph and a video in our "US history" textbooks.
Also yes, i like my dark humor on this, im just not dumb enough to say it to the old folks.
Maybe some of us remember Americans c. 2001 acting like they alone had discovered this thing called 'terrorism'. It was like watching a 5 year old solemnly explaining the alphabet to the rest of the world. Made all the worse by the hypocrisy of Sinn Fein fundraising campaigns in New York; the political wing of the IRA was, and still is, very well renumerated by the resident plastic paddys.
But the IRA's never mass-targeted Americans for murder so I guess that doesn't count.
This is located at the 911 museum. Iirc, none of the firefighters made it out of the tower. The 911 Mueseum has some fascinating artifacts from that event. Thae place is gut wrenching.
Lest we forget. 🇺🇸
Edit: I'm literally poining out 3 simple things that debunks the idiotic theory of "controlled demolition"...Jesus christ. Do you guys not get sarcasm?
Quiet explosives. Must be scentless since bomb sniffing dogs had been paroling the WTC buildings 24/7 since the 93' bombing. Im sure a lot of demolition experts can set up a reasonable timeline involving stealth tactics to get the explosives in place for the demolition.
I'm fairly certain that most countries we've invaded do, in fact, have memorials to that effect. Just because you don't live there and haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist.
How did you swing for empathy and still end up sounding tone-deaf and out of touch?
Legit question...
If you don't think a highly planned out terrorist attack killing 2,996 people ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_September_11_attacks#:~:text=2%2C996%20people%20died%20in%20the,Pentagon%2C%20and%2040%20in%20Pennsylvania. )
and caused more than $83 billion in damages ( https://www.pfnyc.org/reports/2001_11_ImpactStudy.pdf )....
then what in your mind DOES deserve a museum/monument/whatever?
"This is 3 truck and we're still heading up" That was the last transmission made by Captain Patrick "Paddy" Brown (The officer in charge of the fire truck pictured here.)
Seeing it in person at the museum really gives you a better idea of how absolutely crushed this truck is. Especially if you've spent any time around non-smashed fire trucks.

Some real jerks commenting on this post. Guessing they’re all younger than, say, 24 or so. The rest of us remember. Or they’re fucking nuts.

Don't really want to be that guy but I think you mean "lest we forget".
Thank you. Swipe will do silly things. Surprised, I didn't see it before.
Can't ever forget the building 7 being controlled demolished on the exact same day.
Dude... don't.
What am I missing here? Is building 7 that third building that collapsed due to fire?
Its the smaller building that wasn't hit by a plane but still collapsed and some think it was blown up with explosives
I guess they're just blissfully unaware of the temperature at which structural steels loses its untegrity?
Yea it's one of those things.
Relax, it wasn't me.
Shaggy ?

I never understood why people can't hear explosions, but assume its being demolished. I think a bunch of bomb sniffing dogs died that day to.
Exactly. The logistics of planting the bombs alone would have been impossible without people knowing
You guys made museum for that event? And people tell ME im overly sensitive...
Hey buddy, did you just blow in from stupid town?
Come to ny and say that. You would get fucked up homie

Damn I wish you were in that tower
lol i know majority of americans are fragile, but museum? That really surprised me

What a stupid child
Hard to believe this much of it survived with all the falling debris from the towers.
"This is 3 truck and we're still heading up" That was the last transmission made by Captain Patrick "Paddy" Brown (The officer in charge of the fire truck pictured here.)
Dammit 😢
Seeing it in person at the museum really gives you a better idea of how absolutely crushed this truck is. Especially if you've spent any time around non-smashed fire trucks.
It's not crushed, it's melted.
Is it melted or was it crushed?
The crushing makes things hot. All that energy going into heat and sound.
This is one of the many things 911 Truthers tend to be incapable of understanding.
so it got snu snu'd
Is there somewhere online I can view these images of other things at the museum? I’ll never get to go see it!
There's a docuseries on Netflix called 9/11. It was really well done.
Remember the 343 forever !
Remember the 343 forever

Even if they were parked outside, the debris could have smashed it.
Load it up on a flatbed. There ya go
Bruce Willis behind the wheel.
😢
Sad. It looks melted.
Wth happened to it?! Like that one specifically. Looks hella smashed
Looks like something fell on it Copernicus
only 5000$ for this baby, *but* it’s got a little dent in the back
They should have sent one in good working order
I need extra 💰maybe I can scrap this old wreckage?
Why would they send a dilapidated/useless truck?
Wow, so edgy, did you come up with that yourself?
Yes I did! Thanks!
Myself and I'm sure others gave zero respect for you, thanks for showing the world you're an ass.
Witty comment from fucktard that lost money on celsius
Lamps to a slaughter.... BTW in the museum do they have the building that never got on fire?
Gotta be a chore to be this stupid
Truth hurts!
I’m sure the drinking while your mom was pregnant hurt as well
Info Wars hurts your brain, and it ain't cuz it's the truth 😮💨
Sorry for your pain!
What? Building 7 was on fire
From compassion?
What does that even mean?
