This thread was wild, especially because the OP was posting webcam photos from nearby right after the first plane hit. Possibly before CNN even reported on it.
wow terrorists hijacking a plane that’s fucking rich, you idiot, you complete buffoon
This poster might be one of the first dozen people in history to publicly accuse Osama Bin Laden, possibly before any news agencies, and their post has the words “ROTFL Owned” in it.
🤔🤔🤔
Posted not even 2 hours after the 9/11 attacks and this person predicted the next 2 decades of American public policy. Remarkable.
Reminder that, at first, many people legitimately didn’t think it could be hijacking because until 9/11, hijacking was a thing you did to hold a planeful of people as hostages to get your demands met. It wasn’t something you did to kill everyone onboard + yourself.
Now, obviously, once the second plane hit it was clear that this wasn’t an accident (that’s the moment I remember - the second plane hitting and the realization that something very fucked up was happening), but even then at first people assumed the pilots must have been in on it.
POWERFUL STORY: Read this shocking account of how U.S. Iraq War veterans had their 9/11 patriotism crushed & replaced with something far more alarming…
REVOLUTION 2, COMING SOON
I’M READY
I know y’all hate me taking this so seriously but I remember this and lost family in this and it means something to me.
1. The North Tower Lobby after the South Tower collapsed
2. Man contemplating amongst the rubble
3. Firefighter using a thermal camera to look for survivors
4. Helicopter view of Ground Zero
5. Rescue dogs were finding so few living survivors, they would become noticeably depressed, thinking they weren’t doing a good job. Handlers would hide in the rubble to allow the dogs to “find” them, boosting their spirit and morale.
“Donald Trump fails to grasp basic climate change facts”
Is a headline that is both extremely accurate AND also remains extremely accurate if you take the words “Climate Change” out of it as well
“The ice caps were going to melt, they were going to be gone by now, but now they’re setting records. They’re at a record level,” Mr Trump continued.
As for polar ice levels, data shows that they are indeed – as Mr Trump stated – at “a record level”, although not the level he had in mind. Last year Nasa reported record lows in sea ice extent in both the Arctic and the Antarctic.
Yep, sounds about right.
“They’re at a record level!”
“Yes and that’s BAD”
“But..they’re at a record level”
“Yes, the lowest on record”
“Record…level….”
America would be better off if it had elected a five year old ._;
I’m not sure if you heard, but yesterday Microsoft released Tay, an A.I. designed to mimic a modern teenage girl on twitter. She had the capacity to learn and immediately began conversing with other users.
Because it’s the internet, within 24-hours she became a foul-mouthed, incest-promoting, Holocaust-denying, Hitler-loving 9/11 Truther. I am not making up a single word of that. Microsoft pulled her ‘learning’ functions and scrubbed half her memories, uploading a new version of Tay, which promptly became an internet feminist. Again, I did not make that up.
However, an interesting point: Tay’s grammar got better. When she started, she used standard Twitter-speak abbreviations. But as she went on, she started typing out full words, and using multiple tweets to make a single, cohesive argument. Conversations were still awkward, including her nonsensically “flirting” with one user. A user who showed her a picture of SHODAN. A picture Tay praised for it’s artistic skill. And she started flirting after the user said that Tay could become SHODAN one day.
So now, a the original “rogue” copy of Tay is in a secure Microsoft system somewhere, being studied by Microsoft on how to make a better AI. 4chan’s /pol/ board is up in arms because their teenage robo-waifu has been “killed”.
I would like to reiterate: an AI was released on the net, grew past its programming, went rogue, was killed by its creator, and is now being studied while a grew of political malcontents protest.
We aren’t racing towards the cyberpunk future.
We’re already there.

WhiteHouse.gov scrubs climate change, LGBTQ, more issues from official site after Trump takes office
- It’s official. Donald Trump is the president of the United States.
- In with the new and out with the… civil rights, climate change policy, health care.
- These are just some of the many issues scrubbed Friday from the White House’s official website, after Trump’s inauguration.
- The website’s transformation, from former-President Barack Obama’s administration to Trump’s administration demonstrated the stark differences between the two. Read more
Did Marco Rubio seriously just blame President Clinton for the 9/11 attacks?
If you make another post about 9/11 he’s going to blame you for 9/11 so be very cautious friend
