World Trade Center-Plane Crash

On September 11th, 2001, Donald Trump told an interviewer by phone on the air that his 40 Wall Street building was now the tallest building in downtown New York.

Donald Trump said:
"40 Wall street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually before the World Trade Center the tallest, and and then when they built the World Trade Center it became known as the second-tallest, and now it’s the tallest And I just spoke to my people, and they said it’s the most unbelievable sight, it’s probably seven or eight blocks away from the World Trade Center, and yet Wall Street is littered with two feet of stone and brick and mortar and steel …”

Trump’s fuzzy vision on the Sept. 11 attacks

I was looking out of a window from a building in Midtown Manhattan directly at the World Trade Center when I saw a second plane at a tremendous speed go into the second tower.

Here is his "direct view" :rolleyes: Another Trump lie when Americans died :(

Trump, in 2015, also suggested at a campaign rally that he watched people jump from the buildings: “I have a window in my apartment that specifically was aimed at the World Trade Center because of the beauty of the whole downtown Manhattan. And I watched as people jumped, and I watched the second plane come in.”

No, he doesn't :eek:

“Many people jumped and I witnessed it, I watched that. … I watched those people jump and I watched the second plane hit. I saw the second plane hit the building and I said, ‘Wow, that’s unbelievable.’ ”

Why does he lie about things that can easily be disproven :confused:
 
Hey, stranger! I got here early this year to bump my annual thread for 9/11. Hope things are going well for you.

If I can add one political thing to this thread, this year I want to add a note that no one will ever expect from me. Please vote November 3 to get Trump OUT of the White House. I will be voting for Biden. Yes, a Democrat for the first time in my life. For those who have been here a very long time, you know that is the equivalent of Hell freezing over.

Country over party. Always.

This kind of miscalculation is why her namesakes are all on a friggin' reservation right now.:rolleyes:

We've seen for ourselves how hard he works, and there's no fucking way he was in his office at 9AM.

He's also claimed he had "hundreds" of friends die on that day, when there's no evidence he even knew one, or went to a single 9/11-associated funeral.
 
Hey there! Must be empty in Alaska this year with no cruise ships bringing the likes of tourists like me to see you...

Bring those skates for sure. Just don't forget to stop off at the polls on November 3 to VOTE.

It's definitely been a different summer.....

here you go you fucking degenerate dirtbag

Biden Did Not Have the Guts to Get Osama bin Laden
 
I don't have much positive to say about President George W. Bush, but give the guy credit, he made very sure to tell America that "all Muslims" were not to blame for 9/11.

Can you imagine what might've happened had Trump been President when the WTC fell?
 
Religion of Peace, right? Well, Trump is proving that as we speak with all these peace deals!
 
I was in the same place today with the same coworker as 19yrs ago. The current president wasn't on my mind 19 years ago. I don't want to think of him now. God bless every family member & friend that was left behind because of the horrific events of 9/11/01

I would assume it would have been the same.

Saudi money enriched the Bush family and the Trump Org is no stranger to "foreign investment income".

The Royal Family still would have jetted their people out under escort while the airspace was closed.
 
In honor of the 20th anniversary

In a matter of hours, it will be 20 years since I sat here at Lit with one eye on the TV and one eye following this thread. It is like a time capsule of memories for me to see this thread again. Bumping it is my way of remembering each year.

So much has changed in 20 years. I'm sure there are members at Lit now who weren't even born on 9/11/01. The youngsters that were here back in 2000, 2001 are now probably about the age I was when I first found Lit back then. A whole generation has shifted here, but I'm glad to see that fellow geezers are still here. Still arguing about the same things as 20 years ago, too. LOL But this one thread still unites all of us from back then, when none of us had a clue what was going on on that day.

I don't always read this thread each year, but this year, I think I will take the time to read the whole thing. Not many people have such documentation to bring them back to their exact thoughts as the events of that day were taking place.
 
I had no idea the forum had been around this long. I was just a kid when it happened but still remember it. Incredibly scary. No way I’ll ever forget.
