That was one of the biggest tragedies in recorded history. Do you even know what it did to the economy? It was like Black Monday on a 5x multiplier.
The World Trade Center, keyword TRADE. This isn’t pokemon shit, this is real-world stocks and dollars. The portfolios were ruined.
The next time you laugh at that, think about the human beings that had their vacation bonuses decimated that day. Think about how the economic blow made countries like China catch up to us. Just think about that.
The worst thing about 9/11 is people want to make it into some kind of conspiracy or terrorist attack. The universe can’t just be a chaotic place where things randomly and arbitrarily happen. Planes can’t crash and it be a totally normal mechanical/atmospheric thing, even though these same people acknowledge that happens multiple times per year. It has to be some Scooby Doo mystery where 19 people “hijacked” planes or the bad guy of the week did it to be evil.

Anybody could say that. I could say it right now. Does that mean I did 9/11? He just made up his involvement for clout, to get more clicks, people do stuff like that all the time.
I get how it might be psychologically comforting to find some bad actor you can point fingers at, but sometimes accidents happen. You can’t just blame Al Qaida or some other boogeyman every time you stub your toe.
What if the towers just did that?
The collapse of the towers and the crashes weren’t causally related, it was just a really funny coincidence. These things happen. It’s a big universe.
