It must have been wild for anyone who was in a coma for all of September 2001 to wake up in October 2001, and have to figure out why everyone is emotional, but noone wants to tell you what happened. (lemmy.world)

Like, statistically there HAS TO have been someone who got into a car crash, or had a skydiving accident, or whatever. Just whatever made them go into a coma around August 30th 2001. Then not wake up until around October 2nd 2001.

Everyone around you would have had wild raging emotions. Suddenly EVERYBODY is really racist towards Arabs. But nobody wants to be the one to tell you what happened. Plus, everyone around you knows that you'll be on so many drugs you'll forget in 5 minutes.

So you may not even find out until like Oct 16th, when you're out of the hospital, and everyone around you is getting pissed off at you for pretending like you don't know about 9/11. I don't remember the term "gas lighting" existing at that time, but the practice existed. Back then gas lighters were just called "assholes".

Can you imagine waking up to THAT???

I mean, it was all over the news and other shows on network TV as well as cable news still. The internet was talking about it. I don't think it would be easy to avoid what was going on.

True. It was part of nearly every conversation for months at least.
