After almost 25 years now, there are more things we still can learn about that day. Silverstein had signed a 99-year lease for the World Trade Center complex just weeks before the attacks. Silverstein has stated that he typically attended meetings at the World Trade Center every morning. However, on 9/11, he did not go to the office due to a medical appointment. This detail has frequently resurfaced in documentaries, news reports, and online discussions as people revisit the events of that tragic day.

    Oh, gotcha. It led to all the Middle Eastern hate after it. I was talking about how quick the U.S. was to attack the people right after.

      US military involvement in the middle east didn’t start on 9/11

      white people are such fucking bullies. spent decades fucking around the global stage, doing whatever the fuck they want, wars, stealing resources, destabilising democracies for puppet dictators. then when they history begins the moment consequences happen.

      Not going to justify terror attacks, but it wasn’t because Bin Laden was mad that Americans had freedom and Jesus.
