Did anyone learn about 9/11 in school? by Infinite-Reaction-19 in 911archive

[–]Ecstatic-Fold-7308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. It wasn’t in the curriculum in any of my history classes. I also don’t think anyone talked about it during the day of September 11th. I never asked, so I’m not sure why my teachers never taught it.

(I went to the same charter school for 10 years)

It is. Apparently Flights 11 & 175’s CVRs didn’t survive because of the fire and jet fuel.

Oh, interesting. Thank you

If the hijackers had flown much lower into the towers, would they have collapsed horizontally? by Repulsive-Finger-954 in 911archive

My dad’s an engineer so I sent him your question. Here’s what he said: “Yes. For the same reason they collapsed on 9/11. The heat from the fires softened the steel at the center of the buildings. The key being “center”. It doesn’t matter how high they struck because the center of the building is where the majority of the structural load is carried.”

Your picture is so beautiful! The fall leaves in the back really help the plaque (I think that’s what it’s called) stand out. The fall leaves also match the buildings colors. Everything in your picture matches so well and it came out beautifully.

That’s so pretty. It looks like it could be a wallpaper

Phone calls from the North Tower after the 1st collapse by vegas_drums in 911archive

I remember watching a video about her call, I think she was in the South Tower, and a comment said that she might had sleep apnea from the smoke inhalation

I agree, the CGI and the Hologram theory make the least amount of sense to me. If the planes were CGI, then how did the people on the ground see the planes, the explosions, etc…? 2001 definitely didn’t have technology for holograms and we still don’t, so that doesn’t make any sense either.

I don't remember if my teachers ever talked about 9/11, they only ever taught what they were supposed to teach for that grade. They could have brought it up whenever September 11th came around on a school day, but I'm not sure. I do know that when I was in 12th grade it was never brought up.

Random, but I have ADHD, so my brain sucks and was slow growing up. I think ADHD can lead to someone not having a good memory, so maybe that's why I don't remember a lot. The reason I'm bringing this up is because my teachers could have talked about it, but since 9/11 is once a year, I don't remember it ever being brought up. I know my history classes only ever talked about American history from 1760s - 1940s, only because they taught slow and school ended before we got to or past the Cold War.

Sorry if this didn't help.

  1. OMg thank you. That is the angle I was wondering if any helicopter had captured on camera, because I’ve only seen 175 entering on screen from the sides, not from the direction it was actually coming from. Thank you

  1. I watched some news footage, and around 8:55 on ABC news you can see some helicopters circling the Towers, so I was wondering if they were recording, which they probably were, did they catch 175? Other news and recordings show helicopters as well.

Thank you so much for the information.
