23 years ago today, terrorists hijacked 4 airplanes, crashing two into the world trade center, and one into the pentagon. The last plane crashed into a field due to the courageous actions of the passengers on board, refusing to allow more people to be murdered.
They will forever live on in our memory.
Rest in peace, everyone.🫡

Victims of one of the worst terrorist attacks in American history.
RIP the 2977 victims of all 4 flights and in the pentigon and wtc
And I respect the great efforts of the firemen who gave their lives that day to help trapped victims.
Disrespect in the comments will not be tolerated.

@Stinkysock
I remember you :)
@Graingy i see...
@126 My opinion on the USA is… mixed.
As for 9/11 specifically, I definitely have sympathy for those affected. I just don’t think it’s sacred.
@Graingy i know, but since a moderator with a username im not going to mention just incasee he sees this really doesn't like those kinds of jokes (and from what I've heard usually gave anyone a strike for joking about 9/11 but for some reason only gave a slap on the wrist for people who doxx someone, basically double standards) i shouldn't really be surprised, also, wait, i thought you're supporting the us? either the comment that i remember is you being sarcastic, or I'm misremembering things? idk anymore
@126 Then the Mods would need to grow a spine. I’m not one to shout “snowflake”, but to silence any and all sign of discussion over an issue such as this (i.e. is it permissible to make jokes about a 23-year old tragedy, assuming not explicitly disrespectful in their content) while favouring a given side would be borderline draconian.
I realize that 9/11 was a horrible event that hurt a lot of people, I’m not that ignorant, however it is not some sacred holy day to be forever protected from any and all satire or parody. This applies, especially in my view, outside the US where the patriotic (or, often, nationalistic) angle does not apply.
Is my pun a little tasteless? Sure, but not enough to warrant the moderators stepping in. It’s not like I’m the one who made 9/11 simulator. That is a completely different scale, I think.
@126
Mods be like: ban hammer time?
@Graingy i know, im telling you that because im afraid that by commenting that your account will be smited by the moderators
@126 It is terribly easy. As they say, tragedy + time = comedy.
That's not to say I don't realize the scale of the tragedy (and, for that matter, how significantly many others dwarf it), trust me, I do, but not being able to take the slightest amount of dark amusement in something is just being a killjoy. Comedy thrives in the subversion of expectations and social norms, after all.
@CaptainNoble idk, i just didn't feel like using "gen alpha" so...
@Graingy i mean... why comment a pun on a 9/11 memorial post of all things?
Great job, Flight 93
Flight 93 was supposed to hit either the Capitol building or the White House, but the passengers crashed it into a field in Pensylvania. The pnly casualties of that flight were the passengers and hijackers, instead of all the people in one of those buildings
@126 "lil timmy", I can't 😂😂
@126 ?
why? why @Graingy?
