yeah making a mockery about a terrorist attack that changed everything is chill and funny but saying a racist word triggers you okay

no, unless you think being a comedian who is relentlessly unfunny is funny

If you don't have the archives, you can view the original 9/11 thread and revisit goons reacting as it unfolded.

Couple of god tier predictions - personal favourite:

quote:

Hrm, yeah, says at cnn.com that a plane has crashed into it...hope it isn't some terrorist attack or anything nutty like that.

quote:

Now this is weird, since last week was the first showing of that X-files spin-off "The Lone Gunmen" in Austalia. The plot of the first one was that some government group was going to fly a plane into the World Trade Centre. Life imitates art?

quote:

Latest thing I heard is about some Columbian who got arrested and this is retaliation.

quote:

Holy poo poo. This could only mean three things:
a) both pilots were members of anti-capitalist terrorist groups or suicidal
b) some terrorist group hax0red the planes to automatically crash into the towers
c) pilots are loving idiots and rely on their navigation systems despite the fact that they're on collision course with a freaking skyscraper.

This also kind of reminds me of SimCity 2000, where I used to build my arcologies as close as possible to the airport.

Edit: I forgot about the hijacking possibility.

quote:

Reuters is now saying 6 dead, 1000+ injured. I think this is low though.

quote:

I'm hardly a patriot, but this kind of poo poo makes me want to sign up for the Marines and go murder some loving Ragheads.

quote:

loving poo poo. my dad works in the world trade center. i just woke up and my grandma is on the answering machine crying. i turn on the news and mom comes downstairs and asks me whats going on. now shes freaking out, im trembling. no word from him yet.

quote:

its nothing we havent done to other civilians. how do you like a taste of our OWN loving medicine.

quote:

You don't know if it was the Palaestinensians, Saddam, Bin Laden, or even the Israeli in an attempt to get the US to help them against the Arab menace.

quote:

Not to belittle the signifigance of these events, but you do realize that this means a whole slew of "anti terrorist" and probably "anti violence" laws will be passed through congress.

Any "anti terrorist" laws will be given almost a blank check to do what is necessary. I'd be surprised if in 6 months you'll be able to make a domestic call without it being monitored.

quote:

on a selfish aside, i was going to get u2 tickets this week, and from what i've read, Bono was in the WTC today discussing Aids relief for Africa

that's unconfirmed, but still, hosed up... It's also just one life in the scope of 10's of thousands that don't deserve this

how do you know its the isrealites? did anyone say it is? maybe its a bunch of dumb americans.

To those familiar with Something Awful: The SA Forums have utterly, utterly collapsed.

It was my only source of news. I'm on a 56k connection, I couldn't muscle myway onto CNN.com or BBC.co.uk. A NYC Forum Goon with a webcam wasbroadcasting images of the burning World Trade Center. The thread reached over 15 pages in under half an hour before it came crashing down on the rest of SA.

I went in to work today, and came home fifteen minutes later. The Loop area, the center of Chicago, has shut down. The colleges, museums, stock exchange, government buildings and businesses are closed. Games have been cancelled. Public transit passes are free. The trains are packed.

Everyone is going home. I came home half an hour ago.

I'm a soft touch. I kept it together long enough to make it to the CTA station, but I cried on the platform. I blame some fuchsia-haired kid freaking out into his cell phone. "IT'S WAR FOR SURE! IT'S WAR FOR SURE!" Couldn't maintain composure, sitting next to that. When I started up, everyone thought I was a 17-year-old late for school (I look young for my age) or I knew someone in New York. A sympathetic lady gave me Kleenex. And then, out of nowhere, a stranger appeared, snapped my photograph with an expensive-looking camera, and disappeared again.

If a photo of a blonde, pregnant woman in a blue cotton shirt handing a small, brown girl in an olive-drab jacket a tissue shows up on the wire services on in the papers, let me know.

New York doesn't look like New York anymore. The skyline is gone. The WTC is dead. This is like the plot to a movie I would refuse to see, on account of a ridiculous premise. This our Pearl Harbor. Our generation has been defined by this, and onyl then. In a hundred years, this is all they will remember of us.

The Legendary Assholes of the Internet, from Kyanka to Stile to Chez Noir of PoE, have suddenly decided that now is not the time to be an rear end in a top hat. They're asking for blood donations. They're pulling their pages offline as a sign of respect. It's surreal. These are good, decent people who can feel sympathy for the pain fo others; I've always subconciously known that. But the sudden breaks in character are as disarming as they are touching.

Soylent from Rotten.Com has posted a series called "Swan Dive." These are people jumping from the burning World Trade Center, floor 60 and above. I have seen Stile's kitten video. I have seen videos of castrations. I have seen "Train Girl." And these three blurry, still photographs are the most horrible things I've ever witnessed. Soylent also claims that the forth airliner, which crashed in rural Pennsylvania, was shot down by a military jet. That, so far, is unconfirmed by the BBC.

That's it. I don't know what else to say. I'm sorry this happened. I'm sorry for everything. No one deserves this. And no one deserves what's to inevitably come.
