Just watching over some videos from close up and people on the ground. The amount of mayhem and screaming. I even get a brick in my throat from all the carnage :( Also found a video about the second tower getting hit and not soon after something like 10 people just jumped. Probably thought it was over for them.

So this is why Garry created Facepunch.
Just don't say like you didn't see it coming
I am curious as to why, out of all the tragedies that have ever happened, 9/11 is the one with so many jokes and shit made from it.
Why is this thread full of people mocking what happened?
[QUOTE=crazymonkay;48628323]I am curious as to why, out of all the tragedies that have ever happened, 9/11 is the one with so many jokes and shit made from it.[/QUOTE] Tragedies fresh in people's minds become the butt of jokes over time, 9/11 representing an apex in this trend because not only is it a well documented and massive tragedy, but because enough people are alive to have experienced living through the period of time that it happened. We all know who did it too [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YrdTZx0.jpg[/IMG]
Spent some time re-watching 9/11. Though I'm american, I can literally cum.
is this a cull thread
I think it's easy to make light of the tragedy, because every single one of those pictures made me chortle like a fucking pig. But I totally understand. I didn't really care as a kid, but I didn't really understand. The other day I was interested in learning about the Columbine tragedy and accidentally ended up watching the raw footage of children being shot, and I balled my eyes out. Death is scary, especially when forced.

Jesus Christ. I didn't make this topic to see images. I genuinely thought we should have had a chat about it, not making fun. PS to those making fun and jokes. Fucking die you worthless fuckers. Just die in a fire. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Flaming" - Orkel))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=iAmNumberOne;48648065]Just die in a fire.[/QUOTE]like those people trapped in the towers? man that's super insensitive, the hell's wrong with you

It took little more than a decade to go from a tragedy which killed thousands of people to becoming a staple of internet meme culture. It's really quite the turnaround, I remember when 9/11 jokes were really heavily shunned here.
I think 9/11 is funny because of the irony. The greatest giant in the world, who thought she was invincible and better than everyone, so much better than everyone that a foreign attack on her soil was almost unheard of, was smacked by a flea right in the mouth. 9/11 made us bleed, and that scared the shit out of everyone. We thought we were invincible. We aren't. That's why 9/11 is funny - not because 3,000 people dying is funny, but 300,000,000 losing their minds is.

You don't have to be an edgelord to think the jokes about it are actually kinda funny.

I find it funny because I can, as a mature young adult, respect the tragedy and the grief of the families of the victims of that sad event, as well as laugh at a gif of MC Hammer making the tower collapse with his dancing moves. [img]http://static.naamapalmu.com/files/za/medium/dhhurlp2.gif[/img] It's been over 10 years now, America is starting to come down from how crazy it remembers, I mean we should never forget what happened, but we're moving on slowly.
