That was one of the biggest tragedies in recorded history. Do you even know what it did to the economy? It was like Black Monday on a 5x multiplier.

The World Trade Center, keyword TRADE. This isn't pokemon shit, this is real-world stocks and dollars. The portfolios were ruined.

The next time you laugh at that, think about the human beings that had their vacation bonuses decimated that day. Think about how the economic blow made countries like China catch up to us. Just think about that.

Anybody could say that. I could say it right now. Does that mean I did 9/11? He just made up his involvement for clout, to get more clicks, people do stuff like that all the time.

I get how it might be psychologically comforting to find some bad actor you can point fingers at, but sometimes accidents happen. You can't just blame Al Qaida or some other boogeyman every time you stub your toe.

I can't believe you would just admit to it like that. SMH my head. 😔

OK look, did I cause 9/11? Yes. But it was still an accident and I can't be held responsible.

I was just trying to get a tan on top of a nearby rooftop, and I didn't think anyone could see me. How was I supposed to know that two seperate pilots would swerve over to try to get a better look and each hit one of the towers? awooga
