#flight 77

[deborahdeshoftim5779]

FORTY-SEVEN MINUTES AFTER TAKEOFF, CARRYING EIGHTY-SEVEN hostages, five tons of cargo, ten thousand gallons of fuel, and five terrorists, American Airlines Flight 11 completed its forced conversion from a passenger jet into a 283,600-pound guided missile. Its nose aimed slightly downward, its right wing tipped upward, the silver Boeing 767 with red, white, and blue stripes and “AA” on its tail smashed into the north face of the North Tower at 8:46:40 a.m. Its violent arrival carved an airplane-shaped gash in the steel and glass that stretched at an angle from the 93rd to the 99th floor. As it entered the building, what remained of Flight 11 sliced through thirty-five exterior steel columns and heavily damaged two more. It severed six core columns and damaged three others. It shattered at least 166 windows. It broke the concrete floor slabs of the 95th and 96th floors eighty feet deep into the building. It launched a fusillade of flying debris that knocked or scraped fire-retarding insulation from forty-three core columns. It stripped the insulation from sixty thousand square feet of steel floor supports over several floors. It severed pipes that fed water into the fire sprinkler system. It stopped elevators in motion and cut off elevator service to at least the sixty upper stories. It sent glass and metal and office contents and body parts raining down a thousand feet to the plaza and the streets below. It altered the path of American and world history. All that damage took less than one second.

Israelis & 9/11

The Impossible Acrobatics Of American Airlines Flight 77 HD

[deborahdeshoftim5779]

The best way to honour the victims of 9/11 is with the truth:

1- Terrorism is real. It is not a matter of opinion and perception

2- Islamic terrorist organisations do not have any legitimate complaints that justify their evil deeds. As former President Ronald Reagan correctly said, "Terrorism is the preferred weapon of weak and evil men."

3- Punishment of terrorists is not and will never be morally equivalent to a terrorist attack

4- Appeasement of terrorists, especially Islamic terrorists, has never and will never bring any peace

The refusal to accept these four facts over the last 23 years has desecrated the memory of innocent Americans who died on September 11, 2001. And it has weakened the ability of nations to protect their citizens from further attacks. Complacency leads to the kind of security failures that preceded 9/11.

In light of the spread of Islamic terrorism since 2001, may people now come to accept the truth, not intellectual fantasy.

NEVER FORGET 9/11.

MAY ALL THE VICTIMS REST IN PEACE.

Remembering September 11th 2001 and the 2,977 innocents whose lives were so cruelly stolen on that day.

I think rockstar lestat would be flying to dubai all the time to have amazing "yeah we're exes of 77 years keep scrolling" sex with louis and he'd looove that a twitter account was tracking his private jet use. He'd be like Mon cherie, do you see....they call me the enemy of the sans-culottes, they say I am scorching this blue marble to cinders, but they have no idea...louis I wear my kilométer count as I wear my heart on my sleeve, every flight path leads to you, mon ange....you have heard that crass ballad about mademoiselle delilah, non? yet it captures avec précision the mind of a crazed lover who, if no transportation were available, would walk to his beloved upon foot....look at my pedicured feet, louis....if there was no d'assault f'alcon, no etihad nor emirates, no jet bleu, why....I would ruin these feet for you....

[psychotrenny]

do you think 9/11 was completely justified

First of all I don't know why you're asking this. I have never made a public statement of support or approval, implicit or explicit, towards the hijacking of flights 11, 175, 77 or 93 and their subsequent intentional crash landings into the New York World Trade Centre or Washington DC's Pentagon. I have only ever stated that such attitudes of support existed, not that I personally held them and it's very strange to conflate the two

Secondly, to answer your initial question, Yes

President Carter, may you have fair winds and following seas

Steve Schmidt

President Carter was one of the six presidents who was born in the first 25 years of the 20th century.

Those six presidents led America between 1960 and 1992, before the first baby boomer was elected.

During this speech President Carter talked about the trauma faced by that generation specifically, and the country in general. He talked about the loss of faith, trust and belief in the future that was taking hold and was being driven by many factors. He painted a picture of the road that would lead to Donald Trump 37 years later.

Jimmy Carter reached out to the American people, and spoke a truth that hurt him politically, but this speech was among the most profound an American president has ever given about the American spirit.

He diagnosed a growing lassitude that was driven by consumerism and emptiness. His entire life was a living devotional towards resisting the temptations of a meaningless life for a principled one. He never cashed in, and never changed anything in which he believed. His convictions were backed by deeds. His wisdom should be better known.

There has never been an American president that lived as long as Jimmy Carter, and no American citizen lived longer as a former president than Jimmy Carter. His life has ended, and all of the politics and recriminations, judgements, actions and decisions of a life that has endured for almost 100 years are gone now.

What is left is the full record of an American icon, global statesman, Navy submariner, Sunday school teacher and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. He was married to his wife Rosalynn for 77 years.

Every person who knows him says the same thing. They all say that the Jimmy Carter who became the most powerful man in the world came home as the same Jimmy Carter who left. He led a life of service and integrity.

He was a peacemaker who loved his country, and served it long and well. He was the last surviving member of the generation that fought and won the Second World War, and kept the peace in the dangerous hours of the Cold War.

Wherever there was suffering and injustice in the world the oppressed peoples knew of Jimmy Carter and what he stood for because he stood for them. He stood for the American idea and ideal all through his noble life.

The American people should take a moment and say a prayer of gratitude for Jimmy Carter. Whatever ails America, it still produces people like Jimmy Carter.

Godspeed, Mr. President, on your last journey.

May you have fair winds and following seas.

Thank you for all of your service to America and to all of humanity.

[Steve Schmidt]
