9/11 is genuinely fascinating to watch still. the sight of a plane just flying into a building like that is so surreal. watching the plane approach and hit you at 800 km/hr must have been fucking incredible

there was a dude who survived that in the second tower, stanley praimnath. he saw the fucking plane coming toward him (that plane hit at an angle so it didn’t kill him and it left one stairway at his level intact)
It was ghostly quiet afterwards. People had an almost zombie look on their faces. Folks were extremely kind for a few days afterwards, until the shock wore off; then everyone was super pissed again.
Way back then I was working on a TV show about 9/11 and we had these screeners of hours and hours of footage that FEMA collected. Biggest regret is not making a copy for myself. There was so many angles you have never seen.
I’ve watched a lot of 9/11 documentaries that focus on all the live phone calls from people in the towers and on the planes saying goodbye to their family. It’s morbidly fascinating that we have a permanent record of so many people’s last words from this tragedy.
you don’t actually feel it at that speed. the passengers in the plane might have heard it for a fraction of a second but sound and sound processing works faster than the human nervous system feeling pain or anything
The second plane hitting is the high point of unexpected television. The news anchors are sitting around talking about all the stuff they don't know and it just goes kablooey live on air
