9/11/01 GI

[slater]

How many of us found out on 9/11/01. By a GI message of all things. This is the actual GI message collection from the old dot matrix printers.

was cray. the only beacon codes you'd see for the next week you would full route and would only be a SAM flight or\ an F16 or something. DARK DAYS.

They really fucked us good those terrorists. BEtter than they could have ever imagined w the forever wars, the taking off shoes at airport TSA tyranny, the "Patriot" Act sabotaging freedom, advent of the "see something say something" snitch KAren culture, the weaponization of law enforcement, shows like Homeland glamourizing blowing up little kids w drones, the "department of Homeland Security" ----- remember "THREAT LEVEL ORANGE" Bullshit? TAPE YOUR WINDOWS W DUCKTAPE REEEE!!! Yep. they really fucked us good on 9/11. RIP to the homies who died and RIP to our freedoms that did too. American Beauty / American Psycho.

Seeing those FDIO messages had to be really chilling then, but they’re still chilling now knowing what happened. Hard to imagine how to explain it at the moment if you didn’t know the full scope.

I think this may be the first time I've agreed with a Smitty take.

The pilots voices when told was the craziest part. Complete 2nd hand "da faaaq" in thier voices. Not being allowed to tell them anything else was a trip.

Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight…..

RAZEWEN…..

I couldn’t imagine being on shift that day. Hell, I couldn’t imagine sitting in the ready room as an F-16 pilot for the alert scramble “PANTA(s)” that day and actually getting a no-shit emergency action message.

I agree, they probably didn't envision all of the collateral effects from the attack, which are magnitudes greater than the immediate effects from the physical trauma.

The assault on our liberties started the moment the patriot act was signed. Threat levels and other boogeymen kept people in a state of perpetual fear and apprehension for 20 years so it's no wonder how so many shook ones went for the covid bullshit and any other lies.

And before anyone comes to tell me which president signed the patriot act, convince me why parties even matter.

They kept them F-16s in the air 24/7 at first for like 3 days.

Here’s a fun fact: the aircraft scrambled out of Langley flew directly east, out over the ocean, instead of being put on a northbound course to intercept. Wanna know why? They were cleared off the ground to LFI080100 because that’s what the example fp taped to the fdio was…

Noble eagle CAPs flew for at least a decade

wow my factual and well though out thread about the NEB infighting and raises via premium pay just got censored and moved into "Scratch pad". WTF is up w that ?

Probably trying to keep the entire forum from turning even more into a dumpster fire
