This says it all.

1. Apt analogy.

[calimary]

14. It sure is.

The first time, you can console yourself by thinking it was just a lucky fluke for the S.O.B. But not the second time.

[LeftInTX]

2. Yes

[lapfog_1]

4. I actually felt like that when the first plane hit the first tower

clear blue sky... big tall building right in front of you no where near a flight path... modern jet airliner.

What were the chances it was an accident?

[LeftInTX]

6. I heard about the first plane on the radio. Reports were that it was a single engine, accident etc.

A few minutes later, there was a report of a second plane. And I knew.

Now the radio guy was probably getting his info from the radio. So, those of us listening to radios. (and there were many of us because I was driving my kids to school), probably got the same impression that I got.

11. saw the replay on the telly. ugh.

[LeftInTX]

17. I was on my way home when the first plane and second plane hit.

Dashed home and turned on CNN only to see that the Pentagon had also been hit. I felt like I was gonna faint!

5. Close but not exactly

This time the call is coming from within the house. People voted to be terrorized. That's both sad and scary.

[Different Drummer]

7. Many Americans on 11/5/24.

[milestogo]

8. Well the first time could have been a once in a century fluke

but the second time means our system of government is under attack. Probably from the inside and the outside.

[tulipsandroses]

9. Yeah, except there will be no support from your fellow countrymen who vote R. The whole country stood up to support

NY and DC.
I said it before, if 9/11 happened today, there would be nowhere near the same level of support. The GOP would be saying the same shit that they are are saying now about CA. Must have conditions, they don't deserve help, not until they change their woke policies. - There's a black mayor and woman Governor. DEI,DEI, DEI.

Although the aftermath of forever wars was a disaster, with good intention, many signed up to the military to defend America. All of it. That would not be the case today.

[AllaN01Bear]

10. i also feel like when bush and bush and raygun and the defeat of hillary and harris and a few others .

[chouchou]

13. Personally, I feel like my best friends sailed away today on a ship call "The Titanic" ...

...and somehow, I knew things were not OK.

[orangecrush]

15. Kick

[bdamomma]

16. All it will take

when people start suffering, then and only then we will rise. We cannot "normalize" their lies.

[FirstLight]

18. that pit in the stomach...? yeah

I feel a migraine coming on and I havent even been online reading stuff...

[Joinfortmill]

19. I feel like it's 1933.
