I had to change my OS timezone to UTC-6 (Central US) to get the timestamps in the web app to match up.

Mine is completely weird, it says it's after 3PM but the videos is about all sorts of random stuff.

^ since the commenter didn’t explain what this is: Upscaled versions of dozens of angles of 9/11 footage that were FOIA’d out of the NIST investigation into the buildings’ collapse. A while ago I went on a binge and watched all of them. If you’ve only seen footage from news, mainstream documentaries, even at the 9/11 museum in NYC, there’s things you haven’t seen, awful terrible things, in a level of video quality th…

I'm actually seeing events I missed in real time - I was up overnight working. I worked for Sabre HR at the time, and kept going up to the office to run a massive PDF generation process for our performance reviews. (It was a terribly leaky VB process). I didn't wake up until after it happened, so I was hearing about it on the drive into the office. We all went home before noon. Within days the software we were writin…

Was in a Beijing hotel and not sleepy so I turned on the TV. I could not believe what I was seeing and first thought it was a movie. After flipping through a few channels I realized it was real. I woke up my wife and told her that we were at war. We were stuck in China until flights resumed.

Being old enough to remember this very vividly.

Sitting in an office in Denmark - the world did change.

All the political acts around terrorim that followed has been a sad experience.

I never truly believed in these Arabs was clever enough to pull of this stunt, and the amount of missing evidence from that date is to much.

Sad day to remember but even more sad that people still don't demand answers

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…

Re: Indian Point - containment buildings are pretty armoured by design. The Indian point containment vessel walls are several feet of high-grade steel reinforced concrete. You might be thinking of the skinny, low quality rebar used in common construction at this point - this isn’t that, the rebar here is 2.25 inches thick, made of good-quality steel, and spaced every fifteen inches or so. The containment building is also smaller than a 747, so you can’t transfer the entire plane’s energy to it like you could with a larger target like the towers.

The Indian Point engineers assert that theirs reactors and all other structures contains radioactive material could survive a 9/11 style impact.

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

Not quite an answer to your question, but in the 60s and 70s hijackings were quite common (86 hijackings in 1969) and weren’t seen in the way they are now. The common understanding was that the hijackers wanted to re-route the plane somewhere else, and that everyone would end up alive but inconvenienced.

It’s also one reason why only the passengers in United 93 fought back; the idea of a plane as a missile wasn’t widely understood or considered until the planes hit the twin towers. Fighter jets were not even under consideration to be mobilized until United 93.

Heart disease and cancer aren't contagious, so your actions on that front will only improve your own life, while being a bit more careful with covid will potentially prevent sickness in a lot of people.

Social contagion is real. The U.S. has much higher rates of illness and death due to complications from obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc, than other developed countries, because of our shared culture of poor diet and sedentary lifestyle. You pass on your way of life to your children. Your friends and family reinforce each other's decisions every time you make a meal, make plans, etc. This stuff is all vita…

Lifestyle changes are really really hard for people to make, though I agree that it would be great if someone figured out a way to turn that tide.

Luckily getting a shot is really really easy, so we do have a lot of influence over deaths from COVID.

Did you not get the intro pop-up explaining this is intended for use as part of a history class lesson plan for students born after 9/11?

No, I didn't notice that. And if that's the intended use for this stupid website, then it's a terrible lesson plan they've made. It doesn't actually address any meaningful aspect to 9/11 besides make it appear to be from the "beforetimes."

It isn't a lesson plan. It is raw archival material intended for teachers to use with whatever lesson plan they create.
