This what I worry about open boarders that if we are too open it could happen again with Iran developing nukes terrorists could get a hold of them and smuggle it in. I'm glad they built a memorial and a new tower like a fist pump that we still stand.

A couple of new books this year, both have gotten great reviews:

https://www.amazon.com/Only-Plane-Sky-Oral-History/dp/150118220X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1O02DBR32D94C&keywords=the+only+plane+in+the+sky&qid=1568774654&sprefix=the+onl,aps,173&sr=8-1

I just ordered the audiobook of that one and I'm already hooked. A 45 person cast!

A little late but I'm bumping this one for any new members who may not know of its existence and want to add their perspectives.

I get chills when i see Kong '76 or the movie posters to that movie , its......disturbing :(

Dont like to see footage filmed inside either , also heights make me uncomfy - how people can live in those huge NY high rises boggles me.....what if theres a fire and no way of getting out.

After 9/11 i will NEVER go into a tall building like that (not that i ever did before due to fear of heights)

My opinion about 9/11 will not be appreciated, so I'll keep it to myself.

I'll only say this: America needed a new enemy.

Well we have gotten a lot of people mad at us since then. Worse of all, we’re mad at each other, nonstop. I apologize to other countries for the current state of the world. My government has been stupid and corrupt for a long time.

I watched "The Lost Tapes" documentary again and it is just remarkable viewing. No matter how many times you watch the planes hit the towers, part of your brain struggles to take it in. The enormity of the event. I was lucky enough to have visited The Windows of the World a couple of months before the attack so it adds perspective.

Talking of Windows on the World, I got this great book for my birthday. It's great for someone like me who never got to experience it.
