Why does 9/11 matter so much but not the many far more horrible atrocities that the US regularly supports or commits (and that 9/11 was partly a response to). Clearly some lives are considered worth far more than others.

9/11 was my birthday, and I was just outside of NYC in school that day. I was in math class. The phone in the classroom rang and my teacher turned on the radio (1010 WINS) immediately. After hearing what had happened she broke down in tears because her husband worked in WTC. My parents worked in NYC (as did most of my classmates' parents) and was very concerned. The school district evacuated the elementary schools to…

Oh yeah I forgot about all the confusion on what else would be attacked!

People should talk about that more. Every single piece of infrastructure in the whole country was on people’s minds and locked down!

Is there a documentary about that? There is so much possibility for an “isolation thriller” where people’s concerns in their small towns are more the focus than the outcome of what happened by the time the dust settled.

When reviewing 9/11 attacks (likely the biggest and most disastrous intelligence failure in U.S. history, give or take Pearl Harbor), it's worth remembering that it could have been much worse. If the first plane had hit Indian Point nuclear reactor what, 30 miles from NYC and upwind? It's likely a Chernobyl/Fukushima disaster would have resulted with an exclusion zone well into NYC. That was reportedly part of the pl…

Too many coincidences. Also we couldn't mobilize any fighter jets at all when a plane goes off course?

It's crazy how influential this event would be on years to come. It has this huge cascade of other events directly affected by it, and it caused America to dump >1 trillion dollars on a compete wasteland of a country. The US had this urge to do something about it, but not sure what exactly. There were a lot of seemingly irrational policies following 9/11.

I still can't believe Bin Laden has not been named the Times Person of the Year at the end of 2001.

I'm old enough to have pretty vivid memories of watching a lot of this live. I don't really want to relive it. Keep the memories alive? Certainly. But rewatching? Too much. Also, while we can't change the past, we're facing a massive challenge that is devouring thousands of people on a daily basis; let's commit to doing everything we can to defeat that particular monster. That is something we can all help with, in ou…

It is incredible reliving this experience, knowing what was to come in the two decades after.

Yes. But also, it was pretty obvious to me at the time what was going to happen, modulo some details. What I did not predict was that I would end up living in many different cities in many different countries, including Los Angeles and New York City. And by far, Americans are the most kind-hearted, generous and polite people I've found anywhere. Even the beggars in Manhatten would be more interested in how I am going…

We all knew that we were going to respond unfailingly to counter those responsible. What we didn't know was who it was, where they were, what the ripple-effects might be, or how it might end.

On the latter-two points, we don't yet know the entire story.
