Those radical Christians of old use to call everyone else "Heretics". The radical Muslims of new call them "Infidels". It's all the same. The names, dates & places change, but the condition stays the same

The sad thing is that those radicals never go away. We still have radical Christians. They just skulk in shadows now, because it's generally condemned in that community, & only surface once in a while to murder an abortion doctor or some other insanity

But at one level or another it's all insanity. Go no further than Newt Gingrich. It's an entire species marinaded in its own self-absorbed madness

I don't even try to look for truth like I use to. I just set course for a little perspective objectivity, & in that way... I'm kind of like an alien from another world, observing the bizarre ritualistic practices of a primitive race

What a strange little bunch of blood thirsty, bipedal monkey-fingered organisms. I wonder what this planet will be like when there are no more

BTW:

Did anyone hear that the US Consulate in Libya was stormed (after Cairo yesterday) and the Ambassador and others were murdered? The body was dragged out into the streets in celebration.

Because an "Israeli-Jew" made a movie about Muhammad in California.

These are the same people that begged for our help in their civil war and we threw in with them last summer.
It looks like it was an Al-Qaeda operation rather than a spontaneous act of mob violence. The irony is that AQ had little or no presence in Libya under Gaddafi. This is what happens when the existing order collapses without a plan B in place!
In retrospect, this is quite sad.

You knew the truth the day after the incident. Americans didn't come to this until a week or so later. And it took a couple of weeks after that for the administration to quietly admit that fact. They even went so far as to arrest the movie producer in order to keep up the pretense.

I got what I got in a blurb on the radio. Shame on me for going with it.

I posted in this last year but I thought it was appropriate to have it out front again because of the date.

I never forgot what happened that day, and doubt I ever will. I remember the helplessness and the feeling of fear all over.

I'd just returned home from seeing Jurassic Park 3. At first I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing on TV. I think what shocked me more than seeing planes crashing into WTC was the footage of people actually cheering for the attacks.

It's rare that you ever see the footage of the skirts plummeting from the windows anymore. No one will show that or want to see it, & that makes sense

But as much as people want to tuck away the horrors, I won't ever forget seeing it

I don't know if I ever saw actual footage of that. But I remember an article about a kindergarten opening again and the kids all drawing pictures of people falling from the building and talking about how they looked small because they were so far away.

Reports on sight said they sounded like small bombs going off on impact. In fact, am I right in remembering that Oliver Stone movie having that in it? I only saw it once & I'm not sure if I finished it

I think the thing that surprised, shocked & appalled me the most was there being no air rescue at all. I've come to understand why, but at the time I just assumed an event like that would be met with such a response. That it wasn't was truly disheartening. I don't think I'd ever work in a N.Y. skyscraper again, knowing that. You might as well be working in a submarine for all the danger in being cut off from safety

i saw this one documentary that 2 brothers were doing with a fire company that just happened to be during that time. and if i recall, the noise was similar. i only saw it once.

The Naudet brothers were in the process of making a documentary on New York firefighters, following Antonio "Tony" Benetatos, a rookie firefighter or "probie", through his experiences in New York City Fire Department (FDNY) academy training and into a firehouse.

On the morning of September 11, Jules was taping as firefighters inspected a reported gas leak in Lower Manhattan when American Airlines Flight 11 flew right over him and slammed head-on into the North Tower. Although the plane is not seen in the footage until the impact is about to happen, the distinct sound of the jet's engines can be heard clearly beforehand as well as the firefighter's reaction to it. The Naudet video footage thus became some of the most comprehensive on-site coverage of the 9/11 attacks in New York.

There are two points of view from two cameras shot by both brothers of events occurring at the same time.
