- KenSPT, on 03/21/2008, -39/+1959/11 is the only day in my lifetime where I can recall every detail.
I was in College at the time, and I can clearly remember what I was wearing, what I had for lunch, the conversations my roommates and I had, and other minute details that normally would go forgotten.
As remarkable as that is to me, I pray to God we never have another day like it. - exomni, on 03/21/2008, -3/+98Mirror: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1219/1358975872_771 ...

Implying that the many of the people that worked in the WTC were hell bound? - inactive, on 03/21/2008, -25/+94"Hey, I can see the airport from here."
- mactastic25, on 03/21/2008, -15/+69holy *****...spooky.
- wphj, on 03/21/2008, -3/+53It's like the Kennedy assassination for the old-timers. (Myself excluded, at 18)
Psychologically it's called Flash-bulb memory, and because your body, at the time, produced a physical reaction, and since then you have repeated the story, you remember everything about the moment clearly, if maybe, no matter how accurate you think your account is, inaccurately. - Beanstudd2, on 03/21/2008, -2/+49I see your point
- vatd112, on 03/21/2008, -22/+68***** troll

Unfortunately people in the middle east have been living days like this for the past few decades at the hands of this country. - dannydyer1000, on 03/21/2008, -4/+42dude, wtf. why are you being a douchebag to him?
- RaiderWolf, on 03/21/2008, -2/+40You're reading too much into it. It's just that someone thought it would be clever to use that phrase. Nothing omnious, spooky or anything about it.
- MrSarcasm, on 03/21/2008, -15/+52And the moon landing was filmed on mars.
- inactive, on 03/21/2008, -9/+44Just because people die in a tragic event does not make them go to heaven. Maybe you feel better about yourself thinking this, but it is not true.
- garymartin, on 03/21/2008, -3/+37That view from the roof in every direction makes my stomach clench.
- deadnoob, on 03/21/2008, -7/+39before or after 9/11, the tagline "closest some of us will get to heaven" just seems so wrong.
- diggstown, on 03/21/2008, -10/+38Uncontrolled supidity.
- diggstown, on 03/21/2008, -2/+29I thought you were dumb after the first comment.
I know you are dumb after your second comment. - RevJonathan, on 03/21/2008, -20/+46This country being the US?
Well, you can certainly disagree with US policy in the Middle East, but the real killers are the terrorists and tyrants of the region. You can blame the US for meddling, but the Middle East has managed to collapse of its own accord. - Moetownslick, on 03/21/2008, -2/+27i don't think it was meant to be funny.

- airburst, on 03/21/2008, -2/+22You are a sad, sad man.
- exomni, on 03/21/2008, -3/+219/11 or no 9/11, "the closest some of us will ever get to heaven" isn't exactly a very tasteful catchphrase.

- Terr01, on 03/21/2008, -1/+18AFAIK psych tests indicate people aren't any more accurate than remembering any other special days (e.g. weddings, births), people just *feel* like they're recalling things perfectly.
- Gonz037, on 03/21/2008, -1/+18@dannydyer1000: look at "SpeakerCity's" comment history, he's always a douchebag...
- alittleroy101, on 03/21/2008, -1/+18Oh, I thought it was talking about the luxurious bathrooms. Thanks for clearing that up.
- Owwmykneecap, on 03/21/2008, -9/+25***** Iraqi's why did the have to blow them up..
...wait... - Big-Pat, on 03/21/2008, -8/+24Mirror?
- ridestp, on 03/21/2008, -24/+39***** YOU
- Hobbes24, on 03/21/2008, -4/+19mirror?
- inactive, on 03/21/2008, -0/+14I believe the intent was that the poor souls deserve for the truth to be told, not what happened to them. Sheesh.
BTW I am not a troother, just trying to clarify. - coheedcollapse, on 03/21/2008, -2/+15Sort of off-topic but on-topic: I remember the first time I saw the Lone Gunman Pilot how freaky it was.
The whole episode is about a government plot to run a plane into the WTC via remote control. I think the crescendo is when they finally identified the target as the World Trade Center.
For anyone interested that hasn't seen it yet:

- sq2shooter, on 03/21/2008, -7/+20I've come to the conclusion that all truthers are just morons. Yea, the uber-einstein Bush pulled off 9-11. Jesus that sounds just retarded.
- pnmoore, on 03/21/2008, -11/+23Only trolls have to say "I am not a troll" you damn troll!
- inactive, on 03/21/2008, -1/+13Strangely I remember a ton of details from the moment the first space shuttle exploded.
No where near the same thing but it sticks in my mind. - HenvY, on 03/21/2008, -0/+11It's just a crappy tagline.
- danconia, on 03/21/2008, -3/+14You can't resurrect something that isn't dead though, ya know? The 9/11 Conspiracy Theories are still alive and well!
- Gonz037, on 03/21/2008, -0/+11You don't have to, I did it for you. But the very fact you are here commenting on Digg means your wasting time anyways.
- esteskid, on 03/21/2008, -7/+18why? you would never have associated that negatively had 9/11 not happened, its clearly a reference to it's height
- Locke23, on 03/21/2008, -1/+11http://flickr.com/photos/87538314@N00/1360040190/
Idk if this is it... but I found this strongly ironic, yet somehow sad. - khail250, on 03/21/2008, -2/+12obviously you don't invest then.
- Myonosken, on 03/21/2008, -0/+10Suggesting your visitors will go to hell? Not the best strategy ever...
- AsSubtleAsABrik, on 03/21/2008, -3/+13You could see the towers out the window of my school. Seeing them smoking has been etched into my memory. I can see the skyline from my bedroom window and it still doesn't look right without the towers there.
- inactive, on 03/21/2008, -1/+10It was before the attacks idiot.
- fyrehart, on 03/21/2008, -8/+17And ***** to steal your bikes!
- purpmint008, on 03/21/2008, -13/+22Yes, the US government not the ignorant people, but the government.
In case you don't know, we prop up the terrorists and the tyrants and our corporations make money while doing that.
Examples: the CIA helped create Al-Quaeda and the Taliban, we put Saddam in power (JFK) and supported him and gave him weapons and allowed him to oppress his own people, we supported the dictator of Iran, we support the dictator of Saudi Arabia, and the list goes on and on and on.
American government (again, not the ignorant people) terrorism has killed FAR MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE than killed on 9/11.
Get your facts straight.
We ignore these facts at our own expense.
Why? Because the military-industrial complex and the oil companies are walking away with OUR tax money! -
