20 Years Later.....09/11

**Benny Profane** · 09-13-2021, 08:08 PM

That always pissed me off. A thousand fire departments in places that will never see a terrorist act printing t shirts and negotiating better pay and pensions for themselves, because, who would deny a first responder? And the cops in the same towns turning into para military units with all the gear and toys.

So you’re a no then Benny? All proceeds go to children’s cancer, which I’m willing to cover you grumpy old man…..

FFS, you should see the fires they are fighting right now. I have a cousin in Cali rotating in and out of the Caldor and other nightmares. There's more than enough carnage and Armageddon to go around.

And PS, smoke or eat something

And actually upon further reflection, rereading this……..Fuck you. Enjoy Connecticut. After your cabbie years, the only on the job injury you faced was a Goddamn paper cut, amirite?

Skidog, you need to learn some constraint.
Over just the past month you have just shit all over a lot of threads here. You’d think you’d get the hint and chill out but apparently you are just too dense.

Fuck you for fucking up a 20 year memorial thread.

Thank you.

Firefighters deserve every penny they can negotiate and sometimes more. Equating them with the small town donut patrol is way off the mark.

My thoughts exactly. Some police may sign up to be cops for the power trip. Firefighters sign up to literally run into a burning building to save whoever is in there. 9/11 happened in New York, but does anyone think that if the planes had hit buildings in Chicago, or Seattle, or LA, that the firefighters there wouldn't have done the same thing, with the same result? New York firefighters are the same as the firefighters elsewhere, and I say that with no disrespect, because I will always have mad respect for firefighters. They all deserve every penny.

**bennymac** · 09-13-2021, 10:24 PM

We should pay firefighters well for all the training they do and the responsibility they take on - regardless of whether or not they ever face danger on par with 9/11.

Who the fuck would advocate waiting for first responders to go through PTSD inducing shit and only then paying them well?

fyi for accuracy…. that Beamer transcript wasn’t real, I guess. Looked into it (should’ve done that first) and apparently the call wasn’t recorded. The 911 operator has given interviews I guess to recount the call.

I’d seen that transcript posted a few times over the weekend and I was pretty skeptical it was real but never got around to looking further. I hate fake heart string shit like that

Have you ever heard anyone say “we hatched a plan”?

Honestly, the first time I saw it I had to stop myself from posting that there is no fucking way that is real but being it was 911 just let it slide.

Again, you seem to lack the ability to empathize or you would understand how someone can feel great sorrow and pain when learning of lost lives.

I feel pain Everytime I see those images. That's why they should be shown.

I was in the area a couple weeks after, as soon as they pulled the perimeter back, and just the smell was something I won’t ever forget. If somebody posts another picture, will that push the previous image back?
Here’s a bad picture of the towers of light on Saturday night, taken from the NJ side of the river.

I remember that smell....do you KQ? Oh yeah you watched it "unfold in real time" from 3000miles away. .too bad tv doesn't have smellovision eh?

So my feelings about it don't count cause you disagree with what I say?

Pretty typical of this place.

Your feelings about other people's feelings need validation?

**Bunion 2020** · 09-14-2021, 06:50 AM

Skidog you make an awful lot of assumptions about people and their lives and experiences and fit them to your narrative, not uncommon.

Maybe look at yourself in the mirror and ask if this is who you want to be.

Goodbye.

We are comparing experiences to levels of grief, which don’t equate. Obviously the people who were there had different, probably much more traumatic experiences, than those who weren’t.

Back on track, I’m amazed by the emotions that that day still brings me. Nothing chokes me up like the thought of 9/11.

There is a 5 part series on Netflix that I started last night, called Turning Point. Through the first two hour long episodes. My first impression thus far is that it’s extremely well put together and worth the watch.
