I was at work. We commented like "Oh shit will be hitting the fan", amongst the shock of innocent people jumping from there.
It paved the way to fuckers like Bush and trump to get there.

The video was disturbing, but the still pictures of the jumpers in TIME magazine frozen in mid air were the most disturbing to me. One was a picture of a man and women holding hands while falling. That image was burned into my brain.

Ft. Benning.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

In bed, at home, in Sydney.
Woke up to a news report.

I was a kid back then; maybe 7 y.o.
Ah; to a regular Arab family happiness and awe dominated. Arabs hate America and the west.
Or at least they show a fake over hate to cover the severe inferiority complex.
So many assholes considered the hit to be "a modern Islamic Jihad". Not knowing that 15 years later, they'll get hit by the same proxy that brought down the two towers.
As a kid; it's the same feeling I get now when I open the news: I am not safe here, and ironically my people agree to strike the wrong target every time.
And yes; as I grew up; I found out that Muslims were a very tiny tip of spear used to justify the false flag. The head of this operation lives in the White House.
