For the people that were alive at that day and experienced it, especially Americans, and what were the aftermaths and how people believed and thought at the moment? Was everyone believing the official narrative or some of them questioned it?

>>540229617The Internet wasn't really a thing so 99.9% of the population were normies. Most people saw America as positive unlike nowadays.
I was conscripted at the time and there were no mobile with internet (nobody had wap phones), so I spent the entire day at the shooting range and when I come home my father sat and watched it live on TV. What happened I asked him and when he started to answer the other tower got hit.Felt fucking surreal desu.I didn’t question it at all until around 2005. I was in an Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Clan and when I was chatting with one guy from Dallas. He started ranting about this and then sent me an mp3 file of a rap song he’d made that was about 9/11 being an inside job. That’s how I learned about Building 7, the impossible manoeuver to hit Pentagon + no video and more. Imagine being red pulled by a rap song lol.Then just a few months later Loose Change hit the YouTube.
>>540229617a lot of people who are boomers now were saying melodramatic shit like "we're at war!"a lot of shit was going down on the media that was never aired again. there was footage of a car engine on a new york sidewalk that were were told was a plane engine. it was clipped once then never again. there were a bunch of fbi agents picking up really clean looking random bits of shrapnel pretty fucking far from the impact site at the pentagon, then never aired again. there were street lights near the pentagon that looked like they'd been cut or crimped too close to the ground and no plane debris left nearby, then they weren't shown againthe media immediately started saying shit about osama bin laden when that wasn't even a name people knew about, which tells you the corporate media was being given information suddenlythe public schools had tvs plugged in and had students watching it happen>was everyone believing the official narrativefor the most part yes. only person that was on the news in the early days of it was hunter s thompson and he was just asking basic shit like "who could benefit from this"i believed it because i wasn't redpilled yet. i thought it was just the bad muslims like in israel. i didn't know israel was such a den of evil lying rapists yet. i didn't question it until about 5 years later>how people believednormies in the u.s. believed what they were told because dipshits are propagandized in capitalism. despite losing vietnam, boomers were high on winning in the gulf war against saddam hussein (virtually no one knew the cia helped saddam hussein take power or how the WMDs in the kamasiyah weapons bunker came from the u.s.) and nationalists were still high on winning the cold war toothe patriot act already had a precursor bill called the AEDPA and the patriot act got shoved through immediately. then later NDAAnobody know about Operation Cyclone, internet was new, there was no wikihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KkNAQIuGZY

>OP memeflag>What was it like in the day of the 9/11 attacks
>>540230107>PNAC DID 9/11
I was first introduced to the conspiracies about 9/11 on what really happened.com, anyone remember it? Still has some useful info on there.
>>540229617i woke up at 5AM aussie time, and everything was everything already over.
>>540230107>>540230245>>540230268imagine still believing "loose change" shite' 2026 lol
>>540229712Yes, it was here.I was a freshman in college.Pretty much everyone believed the normal explanation.
>>540230018Is there a name for images like picrel where it's one image from far away and a different one close up?
came home from school, switched on the TV and the youth TV/music programme had a breaking news banner and it showed the attacks. after that nothing was the same in the world. rip
>>540229617Looking back on it, it was incredibly gay and retarded. In the moment it felt like anyone could do anything at any time, they really hit us hard with the fear-porn after that [D.A.R.E, "You wouldn't download a car," etc] and more power was handed to nanny karens and tech fags simultaneously during the Patriot Act days. Pre-911 was paradise, you fags born after will never know. I got to enjoy it for around a decade, born 89

>>540229617I had this chick that I met on Yahoo chat. And we were really good friends at the time. And it was weird because I never fucked her even though I could have at any time because she had the absolute hots for me. But I never wanted to. But she would often phone me in the morning to make sure I got up and went to school because I was a dirty little school skipper.And so my phone rang that morning, and it was her. And she was all frantically telling me what had happened. Both planes had hit at that point. The south tower hadn't yet collapsed. So I skipped the rest of school and watched the news coverage. Saw the south tower collapsed. And it kind of hit me right away that I had literally just watched potentially thousands of people just die on live tv.
>>540231248bang on! tommyboy + heidy
>>540229617I was happy that America was hit. They just deserved it. I was ashamed by german politicans launching maned missions to the US president rektum. If the west stood up and forced america to change their political and military presence, we would now live a better world.
>>540229617I was in Jr. High, so I didn't know shit. I remember specifically that my dad, my brother, and I were listening to news about the first plane strike on the radio as my dad was dropping me off. It was already rolling on the announcement TVs when I got to the cafeteria to watch my dork friends play fucking Magic until school started. We stopped school the entire day to watch news coverage on the shitty black and white CRTs bolted into the corner of every classroom. Every teacher just looked shell shocked.When news was breaking back then there was less of a prepackaged narrative to go with it. Tech was constrained. Broadcasting video from someplace took a lot of expensive special equipment, not an iphone. They got someone in position and rolled live. After the first plane hit, they were watching the fire spread and the story was that this may have been some kind of accident. Then the second hit.The pentagon was barely part of the story. People kind of cared, but there were thousands of people in giant burning buildings in the middle of NYC. That was the focus. There was no explanation offered for who had done it day one, just that someone had. Bin Laden was floated because he'd tried to blow it up before in '93. I don't think we even knew about the fourth (third, really, pentagon looks more like a missile strike) plane that went down in a field on day one.As a young man who was about to be draft age, pretty much everyone knew we were at war now. There was not really any questioning of the official narrative initially because there wasn't one. Some buildings got hit by planes and fell down. It was some kind of a coordinated attack. We were at war with whoever did it when we figured out who that was.News is a lot more controlled now. They do not roll live when news breaks. They don't show what is happening before the narrative is locked down. You can see why - 9-11 was an op, and having it streamed 24/7 fucked up the opsec.
>>540229617Official news honestly came through very slowly, but lots of internet chatter. Most official websites crashed. Most news came through first in forums.Within a few hours US journalists were mentioning Osama BL on zero evidence. It all seemed genuinely weird. Bush flew to his little rocky hideout in Nebraska or whereever his hideyhole was and there was one US journalist - I think Bob Schieffer - who was crying about the Bush flying away and insisting he came back to Washington to lead the country. It was unreal. Americans are a little dramatic sometimes
>>540229687>>540230245>attacksYes they were, attacks by the US against the US, schemed by jews/zionists. I hid my flag as a habit because people will start talking about the flag more than the content of the post, which defeats the purpose of anonymous boards.
i was watching doraemon on tv that day
>>540230018>there was footage of a car engine on a new york sidewalk that were were told was a plane engine.why do faggots post shit that they know isnt true
>>540231517did you guys make jokes about the tragedy in school or was it too big too joke about the way kids sometimes do.
>>540230651shut the fuck up, retardgo back to the synagogue
>>540229617Unbelievable really. I immediately though about the ending to the movie Fight Club and how much it looked like a weird attempt to mimic the scenario. Normies were losing their minds thinking that every plane in the sky was full of goatfuckers and nobody even questioned the magical mossad passports. It was like the covid scam but with explosions.
>>540230018My favourite one was when CNN said: "if you can believe that".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-QycTzwV7cFucking normgroids didn't learn anything, they all took the vaccine even though they know governments pull this shit all the time.
>>540229617Lookup the stickdeath.com vids on youtube. People got extremely pissed and racist at muslims.https://youtu.be/UiKmw14csTQ?si=2waCHMQJfg7ri06K
>>540229617I told my workmates it was islamic terrorists as soon as thr first plane hit, they scoffed. At the end of the day i told them the jews would have sponsored the terrorists. They guffawed.
>>540231632afaik they made them stand a moment of silence every day at 09:11 am in school, and they said something like it was a giant tragedy and remember the victims and probably played some pictures and audio etc
Most believed it was muslim extremists pretty early on, but by about 02-03 you had wacko conspiracy theorists already cooking up their own theoriesI was in 9th grade and it was weird shit. We weren't so numb to violence and attacks on TV yet. Just weird shit.
>>540229617I was in 8th grade walking to the bathroom in 1st period and some teacher ran across the hallway going "America is under attack" (im in a huge military community so i didn't know if the base was attacked or something) so I walked up to the front office not knowing what was going on and was going to call my dad to pick me up because fuck if im dying in school and the front office was crowded with people watching the news and I hung out in there and watched the second plane hit at like 9 and then the principal pretty much came out and told me a few other kids to go to whatever period we were supposed to be in and the whole day with the exception of my math teacher we just talked about what was going on and did light work
The teachers made a bunch of students crowd around the little screen in a tiny room to stare at it, but I was in too much of a pharmecutical haze to understand or care about it. All the tv guys demanding the patriot act after seemed pretty strange and there was a lot of "yeah of course half of the tower called out of work that day it was god's mercy haha don't think about it haha"
>>540231756lol, lmao even
>be me>serving in army>second plane hits>know that we won't be released from duty for days or even weeks on end>it's all security theatrics>all these dumb shits running around shrieking and spazzing out like women or fags>no one knows what the fuck is going on or what's going to happen next>be assigned to a rocket artillery brigade>so it's obvious we're not going to Afghanistan anyway>not one of these fucking idiots realizes this>act like we're in an active conflict zone>seriously consider suicideAnd then I got out without ever deploying.
My boomer mom was freaking out when I woke up at 7am. We listened to the radio while having an art day/do what you want thing at school. Our teacher asked us to draw the towers as a way to deal w trauma and most of us drew them on fire and shit. Geopolitical trauma in grade 6 rofl
>>540229617I listened to Howard Stern talk about the attacks on my way to work. When I got to work, they sent us all home, so I stopped and got groceries, made breakfast, and took a nap.
>>540231517I don't remember any kind of alt news at the time existing.Fox was still considered a new and alternative source for information. There were AM guys like Rush (my dad was a big fan) and public access cranks like Alex Jones were already around back then, but I lived in a small town that was like 10 years behind major cities in internet tech. Most people were still on dial-up in 2001. There was no streaming video or audio. It took 20 minutes to download a jpeg of a boob. That came later, with RealPlayer acting as an early youtube and napster/limewire/kazaa/etc. acting as a documentary distributor for places like loosechange and infowars. Most people weren't online, and you had to go home and sit at a desktop to get online. The only people I knew on AIM went to my school, and everyone I knew anonymously online was just some weeb or fantasy novel nerd I talked to on Palace. They weren't political, and this wasn't a political event, really. It was an attack on a relatively unified, relatively high trust society. This was one of the major inciting incidents for the US's rapid degradation.
>>540231632Oh we definitely made jokes about it. We made jokes about everything you gotta think South Park was really culturally relevant in 01 so kids were making racist jokes, nazi jokes, fat jokes etc all the time but nobody cared or got offended because people got the joke. I had class of 07 and a bunch of kids took the 07 and made a swastika and tried to make that the senior logo lol
>>540229617Weird, to say the least. I was in 8th Grade and we watched nothing but CNN on our big box CRT TV’s that hung in the corner of every room. I remember they let us all leave at noon after everyone realized what happened. 25 years on and it’s still one of the biggest Psyops ever. America really did die that day. We’ve been in Hell ever since. It is what it is, unfortunately.
>>540232235Yeah my parents never censored me and let me do whatever I wanted online. Rotten . Com was like some view into a dark portal for me and my friends it was a different time.
>>540232235>It took 20 minutes to download a jpeg of a boob.shit, I already had cable by thenbut yeah, very little alt news, most people hadnt realized the extent of media ownership/glownigger-cooperationI mean most havent right now, but its a much, much higher % than back then
>>540231632Not the day of the event, no. A year or two later, sure. We were teenagers watching live footage of people jumping out of buildings so they wouldn't have to burn. Most of us had never seen anyone die. There was no streaming video online. I think I had seen Faces of Death at my cousin's house or something and watched that Canadian senate guy blow his brains out at that point.It became edgy to joke about it later, mostly because jewish media programmed my age bracket to be against taking anything seriously. Most millennials are fucking allergic to sincerity, terrified of being judged, and hide everything under 400 layers of protective irony. South Park and the Daily Show programmed my age group's thought process. You can see it clearly in that other faggot's response. He still hasn't outgrown it. Absolute goy niggercattle.
>>540232367I remember when those stupid ass TVs came into school and we had to watch channel 1 every morning in homeroom.it was a real real long time ago, back in '94
Consider that USA bombed us for 78 days straight just two years prior because we were "genociding" Muslim "freedom fighters". It's been 25 years and the American plebs still believe in "they hate our freedumbs" narratives.
>>540232564I was neeting at the time and remember thinkingah shit, I'm not going to get a job anytime soon nowhaving just been fired in july, the place whacked all us contractorswound up having to neet for 9 months, it felt like a really long time
>>540232662>picrelwhat....the...fuck...fuck you in the ass then spit in your face tier shit
>>540229617I was watching cheese tv and Goku was about to rip off friezas headAnd then some bullshit about amerigolem buildings interrupted my show. Fucking Americans. Can't even die quietly
>>540232662>because we were "genociding" Muslim "freedom fighters".Then what happened in reality?
>>54022961735yo here.We did not care. I remember my teachers saying that Americans bomb people every other day, and now they are crying.
>>540232857you know how a leader of a nation cant go against globohomo without retaliation?
>>540232924based Brazilian like always
>>540233200This was the real reaction of the whole world. Only Americans think that 3k people were the "biggest tragedy in human history".
>>540233351The greatest tragedy could be the death of one baby, melted to death by Israeli white phosphorusIs not about numbers but aplied cruelty
>>540232857Bog-standard Balkan border dispute/ethnic cleansing/slavoid chimpout.When the Soviets drew Serbia's borders they included Kosovo, which was 0% Serbian and 100% Albanian. Albanians wanted to secede and become part of Albania. Serbs jewed out and treated it like the Golan Heights. It was a joint UN-NATO effort but the thridies always like to put all the blame us.
>>540232924Yeah definitely realised around that time that a lot of people despise Americans. It was a bit surprising to be honest.
