       | I was in USMC boot camp on 9/11/2001. You don't get much chance

       | and gave us only limited information. We knew kind of serious
       | attack had happened, but not exactly what.
       | 
       | By the time I got out of training, the news cycle had moved on so
       | it wasn't until the first anniversary of 9/11 that I saw the news
       | footage of the event for the first time.
       | 
       | Coincidentally I ended up stationed in Washington, D.C. and from
       | my barracks I could see the construction cranes working on the
       | damage to the Pentagon.
       | 
       | So it's this weird combination of feeling connected since I was
       | in the military when it happened and then lived near one of the
       | sites, but I also missed a lot. This site could help me see some
       | of the experience I missed.

           | And even if you used internet video (or, heck, even _read_
           | news online), none of the sources (origins sites and Google
           | and other portals) had the capacity to deal well with the
           | major surge of associated with a event like 9 /11. Everything
           | online was spotty or broken under load. 9/11 broke the
           | internet before "breaking the internet" was a thing, and more
           | literally than almost anything since.

             | For those too young to know, being slashdotted was a term

             | Slashdot was the preeminent popular tech/nerd discussion
             | forum of the time, and being linked from a story on

             | The conspiracy theory about explosives is even more idiotic
             | than that. It's not merely that the conspiracy would needed
             | to have been extremely complicated and involve 10s or 100s
             | of silent accomplices, which is true. It's also that it
             | would have been completely unnecessary and redundant, and
             | is therefore a violation of Occam's Razor.
             | 
             | Whatever the purported political objectives behind the
             | conspiracy theory to put explosives in the towers, the
             | planes themselves should have been sufficient to achieve
             | those objectives, and so what motivation would there be to
             | tack on yet another entirely different conspiracy
             | (different in terms of operational details, skills
             | required, additional headcount, etc)? You're multiplying
             | the difficulty and complexity of the operation and
             | increasing the chances of getting caught by a good 2-10x,
             | for little benefit due to that redundancy.

             | They say things like "jet fuel can't melt steel", when
             | nobody even makes that claim. The claim is that the burning
             | jet fuel made the steel weaker. So don't expect them to

           | I only did a quick search. Found this transcript where
           | someone mentions they saw a brief ELT blip on 121.5MHz: http:
           | //web.archive.org/web/20210718083443/https://www.nytime...
           | 
           | A quick read of the ELT description (
           | https://www.aopa.org/advocacy/aircraft/aircraft-
           | operations/e... ) shows that the 121.5MHz ELTs are associated
           | with a high number of false triggers:
           | 
           | > In 2009, the international COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system
           | discontinued satellite-based monitoring of the 121.5/243 MHz
           | frequencies, in part because of a high number of false
           | signals attributed with these frequencies.
           | 
           | Apparently the earliest 121.5MHz ELTs had a ridiculously high
           | false trigger rate of 97 percent, which explains why they
           | were deprecated:
           | 
           | > Historically, these ELT's have experienced an activation
           | rate of less than 25 percent in actual crashes and a 97
           | percent false-alarm rate.
           | 
           | So if false triggers were a known issue and the ELT signal
           | was only seen extremely briefly, it's more likely someone
           | taking a common occurrence out of context.

       | Everyone else, the amoral criminals and ignorant heathens, do

       | Our advancements and civilizations are only there for them to
       | gamify and laugh it, like we are the fools and cowards and

         | History does not editorialize. Especially primary sources:
         | simply portraying them is enough. People will come to their own
         | conclusions. People must think critically, and for themselves.

       | I was in the Navy and had been at my first command at a nuke base
       | in the PNW. I walked to the galley for breakfast and they had
       | some TVs you could watch while eating. I watched the second plane
       | hit. I walked to work which was a telecommunications station. We
       | processed messages for different regional commands and would call
       | them directly whenever they had an emergency action message
       | (EAM). I walked in to a completely chaotic watch floor. Every
       | message was an EAM that day. Every phone was ringing or in use,
       | every computer that could alarm was alarming, our dial up modems
       | were constantly busy. All my coworkers were shouting and running
       | here and there. I had never seen it like that and as a young
       | Sailor it was very worrying. Everyone we called to inform them of
       | their EAMs would ask if we knew what was going on or knew if
       | someone was mobilizing but we were just as much in the dark as
       | everyone else.
       | 
       | I remember at one point our Leading Chief Petty Officer (LPCO)
       | yelled for everyone to stop what they were doing and told us to
       | call our parents and loved ones to let them know we were safe.
       | That was the longest day I'd ever worked at that command and no
       | one left that day, even those from the previous night shift. The
       | fact that no one, even our CO, had any idea what was going
       | on...that the military was in the dark, was such an unnerving
       | feeling.

             | 
             | My best ELI5 for the one you are asking about:
             | 
             | Does a bar of chocolate need to melt completely into a
             | puddle of liquid before it changes shape and becomes
             | softer?
             | 
             | Of course not. The chocolate bar will become mushy and
             | deform before it becomes a liquid.
             | 
             | Jet fuel burns at 800 - 1500 F, whereas steel melts at
             | 2750.
             | 
             | But just like chocolate on a warm day, it loses its
             | strength at much lower temperatures. By 1500 degrees steel
             | is at less than half of its strength.
             | 
             | Have you ever wondered how ancient civilizations managed to
             | melt metals, or create ceramics? After all, they didn't
             | have jet fuel yet!
             | 
             | Well, when some kilns use wood as a fuel source, they can
             | burn at up to 2000 F! Wow! Isn't combustion neat?
             | 
             | The WTC was full of flammable materials like wood, plastic,
             | rubber, and cloth. Jet fuel burns at 1500, but just like a
             | wood kiln, other sources of combustion can make things much
             | hotter.
             | 
             | TL;DR - You don't need to heat something to the point of
             | being a puddle of liquid to weaken it.

       | The school district evacuated the elementary schools to the gym

       | were concerns that could be attacked too, which would've flooded
       | the low-lying areas where the elementary schools are. Eventually,
       | school was dismissed and I ended up at my neighbor's house. Her
       | husband was a FDNY Captain.
       | 
       | So many people I know died or were permanently harmed (physically
       | or mentally) that day.
       | 
       | While nearly every second of that day is permanently etched into

       | never, ever forget the smell of burning flesh and the hundreds of

       | 
       | The campus entered a type of lock-down. The gates to the parking
       | garages were closed, the front-doors to the building were locked
       | and security blocked the entrances to the campus with their

       | Things obviously changed in the world that day. At Apple, the

       | to badge in. Security personnel were posted in the lobbies and
       | badging in and "tailgating" were taken very seriously. The doors
       | to the inner campus were now locked and you had to badge in and

       | before and saw it on the news, so she called me and told me to
       | turn on the TV.
       | 
       | I watched the second plane hit live on CNN. I then spent the rest
       | of the day on my couch watching CNN. My girlfriend was sent home
       | from work around noon and came to join me.
       | 
       | I remember the confusion as to what happened and no one knew if
       | anything else would blow up.
       | 
       | But the other day I remember just as clearly was September 14th,
       | 2001, because I flew on an airplane that day.
       | 
       | The Jewish Holidays were starting on Monday, and my dad and I
       | were flying home together from the Bay Area to LA, and had a
       | flight from Oakland to Burbank. We were told to get there four
       | hours before our flight due to enhanced security, so we did.
       | 
       | The airport was empty. Every airline was offering full refunds to
       | anyone who was scared to fly, and most people took them up on it.
       | My dad and I figured a one hour flight within California probably
       | wasn't going to be a target and decided to risk it.
       | 
       | There were national guardsmen all over the airport open-carrying
       | rifles and handguns. After the metal detectors we had to do a
       | full pat-down and have all of our carry on luggage fully
       | inspected. But since the airport was nearly empty, we were
       | through all of the security in about 10 minutes.
       | 
       | So we walked up to the airline counter to check in for our flight
       | (back when you still had to check in in-person at the counter)
       | and asked them if we could take an earlier flight. There happen
       | to be one leaving in 15 minutes, and the lady thanked us for
       | flying that day and put us on the flight. It was so empty we each
       | had a row to ourselves.
       | 
       | Sept 14th, 2001. The best airport/flying experience I've ever had
       | in my life.

       | both by Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy. They're both _critical_
       | (as in thinking) without being unhinged -- no inside job shit, no
       | controlled demolition stuff, no  "plane was fake". Just a close
       | look at the years and months leading up to 9/11, with some
       | terrific interviews with major players (Richard Clarke, Bush's
       | Counter-Terrorism "Czar"; Mark Rossini, the FBI agent assigned to
       | the CIA's Bin Laden Issue Station who was prevented by the CIA
       | from notifying the FBI that 2 of the 9/11 hijackers had multiple
       | entry visas to the US and were planning to travel there).
       | 
       | The documentary's particularly interesting, as it follows the
       | efforts of four New Jersey women who lost their husbands in the
       | World Trade Center as they struggle to figure out what happened
       | that day. I hadn't realized that a "9/11 Commission" hadn't been
