    Never forget this Tuesday September 11 with more than 3000 victims, in 1973, when the CIA helped an bloody Dictator Pinochet in his military coup against the democratic president Allende in Chile. Just 50 Years ago.

    They always talk about how planes are hitting buildings, but those buildings were never angels. Also they never talk about building-on-building crime.

    Plane lives matter.

    Respect to our officer planes.

    Some punisher logo painted on an airplane.

    I live in a house and I’ve never been hit by a Boeing 767. I don’t get why the World Trade Centre didn’t just follow the zoning laws and make itself small around planes. It knew planes were there and it CHOSE to antagonise them.

      As a plane, I’ve got nothing against buildings, but being out in public where a child might see them is where I draw the line

        Skyscrapers are grooming my children to be lawyers. They see this skyscraper flaunting itself in public and they want to work there. They think “I’ll be so free if I can just look out over the entire city”, that “I can be an individual who defines the skyline”. Well kids, 9/11 happens if we let this continue. It’s a war on our traditional ideas of buildings and the bible says we shouldn’t build tall towers.

    this would make a lot more sense if the two towers were part of a group of buildings that regularly demolished other buildings because they think they are being bad buildings.

    I know you’re trying to undermine all lives matter here but…

    3000 lives died that day and after all, all lives matter. These put the deaths of these buildings above the deaths of other buildings

      We had over 3k deaths a day during Covid, and I don’t see a memorial for those forgotten by their own country’s leadership.

        Don’t forget the 300k civilian deaths that followed the retaliation in the Middle East.

        It is like Americans think one American is worth 100 Afghan lives.
