2001 was a long time ago, I guess

But still, you might think folks would remember what happened. This is so terribly sad.


Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

    Which of course will be my reaction when we are attacked again because doofuses like these infest every institution in America.

    Nothing will live in infamy with them. I am surprised none of them looked on their phone.

    To be somewhat fair some of these people were toddlers when it happened.

    Then our school system has failed them.

    I bet most French people at that age can tell you about WW2.

    There would be no entertainment value if they showed the people who knew the answers. 😉

    Any one of those idiots could be the next potus ! 😆

    I was 45 years old when this tragedy occurred and after a mere 20 years it seems like it happened yesterday.


    I can sadly say that those who were too young to remember the events that day will get their chance to hold dark memories of current and future events to come.

    None of my grandchildren had been born yet and I seriously doubt the event will be a topic of education in their schools. Their fathers were alive then and I think will be sure to have them watch and listen to the event through documentaries.

    The younger generation will have their own nightmares to remember soon enough.

    It's important to remember videos like this one can be deceptive as well. I'm sure the videpo process took longer than 3 minutes and 22 seconds. There very well could have been many people who knew those answers. And everyone who did not were probably not just in that age group. It was twenty years ago. Many of those interviewed were just little kids and could not begin to comprehend what was going on. Yes, it's sad that there are people who don't know or aren't being taught but we have to keep in mind that video editing can slant just about anything. Don't think so? Just watch the evening news. The same event will be presented totally different on CNN than it will be on FOX.
