I remember this thread, cool it's me, wonder why it was bu-
oh no
A plane hitting a building and causing it to collapse breaks the laws of physics
like its some complicated question that a plane would cause irreversible damage to a tower that isn't designed to take a hit lmao
It's like playing jenga with a closed fist and wondering if it collapsing was because of an external force and not... your fucking fist
Take a basic Physics class, thanks.
Imagine seeing a giant fucking plane crash into a building at a high speed and being surprised that the building collapses.

oh.
This thread has been ruined, but just to help end it, here's something to remove the belief that the building is one single, solid object.

WTC vs Freedom Tower
You'd think inside job would mean "we got those guys on that plane" not "the planes are holograms and satan is in the smoke"
Like if it's to justify a resource war they aren't going to care about the method their terrorists use, if a bomb is needed they can use a bomb
The way the sunlight passes right through the North Tower is super fucking cool. Meanwhile the South Tower's not even done yet.
What a picture.
A FUCKING AIRPLANE CRASHED INTO A GIGANTIC SKYSCRAPER. A COLOSSAL FLYING AIRCRAFT THAT WEIGHS OVER 400 TONS CRASHED INTO A FUCKING BUILDING.
WHAT PART OF THIS MAKES YOUR BRAIN GO "Eh its not physically possible for that to cause the towers to come crashing down".
That single line sums up how much of a moron you are and that you have zero clue what you're talking about.
"WATCH BUSH START A FUCKING WAR"
Sweet summer child
I don't care if the thread stays up. Just keep your stupid theories to yourself.
9/11 is the day my childhood innocence died. On 9/10/01, war was a thing you saw in movies and in history books. In my childhood ignorance, there wasn't any people out to hurt us. Terrorism wasn't a thing. We had just had the new millennium and everyone was hopeful. It was the future. I didn't know who Osama was, or even where Iraq and Afghanistan were. Just months later I would be parroting my parents thoughts about going to war with these places and people that didn't exist to me on 9/10/01. 9/11 was my first dose of the darkness of reality.
What we should talk about are the people who showed selfless bravery and valor in the face of extreme danger.
FDNY Chief Orio Palmer made it to the 78th floor of the South Tower. His journey is recorded on radio conversations with other Firemen.

Frank De Martini was on the 88th Floor when the plane hit just a few floors above. He was too busy helping people escape to escape himself.

There are many many more people like this from that day. Stories that may not be well known. Those are the things people should talk about 17 years later. It's easy to look at two smoldering buildings and forget that they're full of humans who are looking out for themselves and others. They didn't have camera phones or snapchat and twitter to send out real time images. Each one of them were in their personal hell that we will never truly know the full severity of. All we can do is try and retain the stories that we have of what it was like up there.
Please don't lock this thread it's a part of facepunch history and it is tradition for it to get bumped every year at 11/9. Disregard the last few pages of shitposting, it is part of the history now.
It was super surreal being a New Yorker at that time. Even though I was in like 3rd grade, we had a lot of kids who’s parents died that day. Whether it was people in the building or fire fighters/police working to save people.
Shit my dad was working in the building next to it, luckily he was on a business trip though. His whole office was blown out.
I would honestly love a place in this forum for infamous threads that have been locked, like a hall of face for Facepunch.
DDT was a thing in oldpunch.
you know i was wondering why the 9/11 thread had eleven pages, i figured people were just doing the usual "lets all post where we were during the attacks" but nope, just conspiracy posting as usual
Guess it's interesting to see how views on 9/11 have changed from the 5 years ago and the actual archived thread.

Because I want to put this crap argument to rest.
Why yes! Jet fuel doesnt burn at a high enough temperature to melt steel beams! But ever notice how like a candle for instance will get really, really soft before it completely melts? So if you were to build a small structure out of wax girders that it'd start falling apart before becoming goo. Combine it with the impact of say, a plane, and you have yourself a falling building.
tbf i think having that little shit show yesterday shows how much this website has hold off against the crazies and we can still view 9/11 as what it is. A sad tragedy instead of conspiratard nonsense.
