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 worst thing about 9/11 is people want to make it into some kind of conspiracy or terrorist attack. The universe can’t just be a chaotic place where things randomly and arbitrarily happen. Planes can’t crash and it be a totally normal mechanical/atmospheric thing, even though these same people acknowledge that happens multiple times per year. It has to be some Scooby Doo mystery where 19 people “hijacked” planes or the bad guy of the week did it to be evil.
