Why did TWICE the number of people die from the North Tower collapse then from the South Tower? It was hit first, and hit much higher up, presumably trapping fewer people, but also collapsed 29 minutes later than the South Tower, giving more time to escape.
And then Obama’s friends around the world celebrated the slaughter of almost 3,000 innocent civilians who were just going to work one morning.

Bttt
Can anyone on Freep post the original thread from that day 9/11/2001? That must be incredible to read now.
Can anyone detail the rapid exit of Saudi officials from the U.S. after all flights were grounded?
Is this fiction?
Or is it real?

It was the first post about it on the day it happed.
Yep. That’s the first and oldest.
There i a very source that showed the design of the complex building structure. I will try to re-find.
There also is a long video which I have been unable yet to view in entirety. I have one son with Covid who sleeps continuously but I believe is on the mend and my daughter that is currently hospitalized for seizure of unknown etiology. I also must admit my memory of the 9/11 events is difficult. I just cannot finish this video as I am exhausted.
My Grandfather just struck midnight it is now 9-1-11-2023.
May God continue to preserve and Bless America.
VIDEO TITLE: “9/11 Remembered” Steve Emerson September 16, 2020
QUOTE: ‘We still remember the 2,977 innocent souls in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania who died at the hands of Islamic extremists operating underneath the loose radar and wide cracks dividing our law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
In those 19 years, we have tried to fix the scandalous technical holes and gaps that existed in the very agencies designed to protect us. Looking back, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security’s record stopping Islamist terrorist attacks—although far from perfect – has stymied the dreams of al-Qaida, ISIS and others to execute an attack of a similar magnitude.
At the same time, there remains an unwillingness within the media, law enforcement and other government agencies to speak candidly about the ideological motivation driving the threat – radical Islamism – and an unhealthy embrace of activist groups that whitewash that threat.
This country is playing with fire. For if you can’t even mention who your enemy is, then you will never defeat it. Yes, we all recognized what al-Qaida stands for and stated that it was our enemy. We defeated the core group and took out its leader. The same with ISIS.”

I figured it must be because I never saw one that was posted sooner. That’s why I’ve held onto it all these years.
I remember that day very well. I woke up early, in time to see the first plane crash into the tower. I never wake up early.
At the time, I was friendly with Freeper Ken5050. We actually exchanged phone numbers and on 9/11 he called as he ran down the street in NYC because his daughter worked in one of those towers. Fortunately she got out. But I got firsthand description. Especially touching, papers put up on bulletin boards saying “I got out”. and “has anyone seen?”
As news continued, I discovered that , when I was in Florida. I had been going to a wonder physical therapist whose office was across the street from a place one of the hijackers had frequented.
Chilling.
Everyone above the first impact zone was trapped as all stairwells were severed. Many above the second impact site were able to escape down the single remaining intact stairwell.
Yes. We lived in NY, not NYC. Extremely sad memories.
My husband remembered his work associates. I also cared for my Mom with dementia & tried to explain that what happened to our country was similar to Pearl Harbor which she thankfully could not believe. I was homeschooling my other children & we were frozen to the television broadcast.
I phoned my daughter in FL & had her pulled out of a office meeting to tell her as well. No one knew working in her department at that time. I told her all I could think of that could of done this were the Islamic terrorists because of their hatred for America. I also told her our country would probably be going to war. That day, my oldest daughter & son stood in line to donate blood.
