911 Never Forget

LikeLakes · 09-11-2023, 07:00 PM

The day before I drove back from LI and saw the towers as I headed north. A day later I was at work, planning some travel for sales, when one of my co-workers told me something had happened. No access to TV so we followed as best we could until I got home later. Calls came in from everywhere, people asking what other people knew about the situation, etc. I remember calling a few people to tell them that no way I'd be flying anywhere until things were figured out, then of course everything was grounded anyway.

Yes Denis, I agree. There was a feeling that we were all together then that is hard to imagine happening now.

Policies and inaction invited this attack.

Two Americans, in particular, failed to see the implications of their enforcement policy and inaction. Books have already disclosed who they are, and In the interest of decorum, only one title is listed here:

Dereliction of Duty

The second scoundrel not only caused critical details to be withheld from the captured laptop computer belonging to the "twentieth hijacker", but created the US' Housing Crisis of 2007!

It even gets worse than that.

Anyway, we're unlikely to be attacked again, as the numbers of people needed for such terrorist actions haven't presented themselves.

Oh, wait...
