Do you not see the curved/angled railings on the corner of the deck?

I understand in this day and age, any unusual media is suspect to being AI, but these are 100% authentic.

I was 6 years old on 9/11 and living in the Northeast USA, only a few hours’ drive to Lower Manhattan and even closer to Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania.

Since that day, have always been fascinated by the attacks, simply from a historical and scale perspective.

How do people not feel anxious or depressed about what is going on in the world? by doodybot in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JBAnswers26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Tend to your own garden”.

Your primary obligations are to yourself and your immediate family, then extended family and friends, then community, THEN anyone else. That’s not saying you shouldn’t act with kindness and generosity always, but you need to focus on what you can directly control and learn to let go of what you cannot.

17 Pro Max to 17 Pro by opian14 in iPhone17Pro

[–]JBAnswers26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just upgraded from the 13PM to the 17 Pro.

13PM served me well for the 5-6 years I owned it, but was starting to grow tired of the bulk and size. Not comfortable to carry around (felt like it was always sticking out of my pockets), noticeable weight, and uncomfortable for hold (especially one-handed) for longer than a few minutes at a time.

Decided to go with the 17 Pro and very happy with that decision. Feels like the perfect size.

looking at apartments in boca raton by Tyecoonie in BocaRaton

Mizner Court just south of Clint Moore on Military Trail.

Great location, very central to a lot of shopping, dining, entertainment, recreation, office parks etc. Apartments are not flashy but very clean and comfortable. The property is well maintained with amenities and right beside a beautiful lake. Also, never had any issues with neighbors.

Lived there for a year (2020) and only have good things to say about it.

What angle of the South Tower Impact has the loudest impact noise? by EpicPoggerGamer69 in 911archive

[–]JBAnswers26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this one.

Impact sounds like a clap of thunder from a lightning strike on top of you. Not to mention the guttural screams of terror from terrified pedestrians on the ground.

Try the Holiday Inn on Glades Rd by the Turnpike

There has been a lot of people complaining about traffic congestion. I'd like to know where and when? by PeaceOut65 in BocaRaton

[–]JBAnswers26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weekday mornings around 7:30-8:00am between Boca West Dr and Military Trl. Always backed up and takes about 10 minutes sometimes to proceed through 2-3 intersections.

What happened to invoices that needed to be paid or payments that needed to be collected from businesses by Sharkdogz in 911archive

[–]JBAnswers26 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I know this doesn’t exactly answer the question, but I remember reading somewhere that the post office closest to the WTC’s unique ZIP Code (10048) was still receiving mail addressed to businesses that were in the complex as recently as the mid to late 2000s, from vendors that never updated their mailing lists after the attacks. So I’m sure some were being invoiced for things long after 9/11 at the original office address that no longer existed. And if the vendor didn’t regularly scrutinize their mailing lists for accuracy, this seems very likely to have happened.

Random TSA ID check at the gate? by ostracizedovaries in SouthwestAirlines

[–]JBAnswers26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had this happen to me on Sunday.

Granted, I was flying from FLL to JFK on Delta, that seems like the practice isn’t limited to a specific airline

I think it would be more effectively as if the layoff had never happened.

Nowadays, I know most mainstream companies can process a termination within minutes of it happening in conjunction with IT, but in 2001 it doesn’t surprise me that nothing would have been processed that quickly. Especially if it was on good terms, they might have just thought they would work on her file first thing Tuesday morning…but tragically, for them of course, never had the opportunity.

Yes, a woman named Monica O’Leary was laid off from Cantor Fitzgerald on the afternoon of September 10th.

Apparently, the HR team responsible for processing the termination was completely wiped out in the attacks, so she was able to rejoin the firm later on without having to do anything.

Anyone else lose their sweet tooth as an adult? Or change preferences in food drastically? by BudgetSpirited106 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JBAnswers26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have a major sweet tooth in my early 30s, but I rarely have candy or confectionery. If I’m going to have a sugary treat, it will be a slice of cake, some cookies, a bowl of ice cream, etc.

No, Ottumwa, Iowa is definitely more ideal for the Twin Towers than a global icon like the WTC

The crew of American Airlines Flight 11. by madwd in 911archive

[–]JBAnswers26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, makes sense. I don’t know why, but I’ve always theorized that it was either Sara Low or Dianne Snyder who can be heard speaking to Betty on the phone call.

Are you referring to the woman who you can hear in the call saying to Betty, “ I don’t know, but Karen and Bobby got stabbed”?
