I was like 8-7 months old when this happened, can someone explain why Americans obsesses over it so much?
9/11
Nearly 3000 people died
National emergency
Conspiracies
"More than one pepetrator"
Sniper got killed a few days later
...
Biggest terrorist attack in US history
Led us into a 17 year quagmire
endless conspiracy theories
Americans can't comprehend voting for a war could result in domestic civilian casualties
You are finloli.
Australians seem to be okay with it
You used your influence to drag other nations into it, France got so much shit for refusing to follow you
It was a pretty big habbeding. I often watch the videos and regret not paying attention to it when it happened; but then, I was just 9.
Truly the bully of the world
btw 911 happened when I was a kid and I always knew about the towers but I only learnt like 10 years after about the pentagone and the interior, anyone had the same experience ?
I was 17 years old when it happened. It was basically a Michael Bay movie came to life. It was another Spectacle like the White House getting blown up in Independence Day, or Armageddon, etc.
Something else which people don't remember is that the national news that summer was extremely boring, nothing bad or the least bit interesting was going on, as far as Americans were concerned. There were like two shark attacks and those were the big national news. Then this.
Probably because we had to bail France out for their bullshit many times before
Australia always fights with us though. They are good allies.
Something I've never understood is, how did they get firearms onto a plane? Or did they even have weapons?
If you weren't at least 10 years old when this happened, fuck of from Jow Forums and never come back.
Why? Did France come under sanction or something? I don't remember anything significant actually coming from Frances refusal except a temporary renaming of French fries in government cafeterias.
I think they know we're a great help in case one of their chink mega nations to the north get too aggressive
They had box cutters and fake bombs. Back in the day airport security was a bit of a joke. I remember being able to wait at the gate for departing passengers as a kid.
France had business dealings with Saddam Hussein, you think they wanted that gravy train cut off?
Boomers should be round up and shot
It sounds a bit Die Hard, but I was wondering if the passengers couldn't just rush the cockpit.
But, I think at the time no one thought the plane was going to crash, and that it was just a hostage situation.
A big reason was because we were falsely led to believe they had WMDs by a certain someone
>3000 people died
>'obsessed'
fucking zoomers
he is not really australian
he is an angry shitskin
start with your grandparents and parents
it was best day of my life, you guys really missed out
many times ? you mean one time where it took you 3 years to act and then you tried to colonise us by installing your own money and military in the country and tried us to prevent us from being a nuclear power ? What a great ally thanks.
Saddam Hussein was a dictator that kept religious fanaticism in check. Chirac and almost everybody knew that you would just create a power vacuum for fanaticism. And France still pay the price for your mistakes today directly.
They did rush for the cocpit for the last plane because one of them got a phoen call telling them what the terrorist planned to do. But I guess for the others they just hopped terrorist would take them somewhere as hostage or smtg, it's not like the could pilote the plain if they kill them.
A US administration official confirmed yesterday that some steps would be taken to downgrade formal relations between Washington and Paris
''France may also encounter difficulties in exploiting its oil concessions in Iraq.''
literally acting like the mob... huhu Monsieur baguette it iz too bad that you reject my offer, I hope that you won't have any problem exploiting all this oil in Irak would be such a shame ir you had some difficulties
That did happen on United 93. The other plane passengers probably assumed they would be held hostage and ransomed or were just too afraid of the potential bombs to do anything. Suicide attacks were basically unheard of her before 9/11 and it had an unmistakable and immediate cultural impact.
people died
Like 2500 amercians die from heart attack (which are preventable) daily, around 800k yearly. Compared to that, 9/11 is nothing.
3000 people dying all across the country of natural causes is not as big a deal as 3000 people being murdered all at once you retard.
obsessed
>natural causes
Dying from heart attacks is not a natural cause. Heart attacks are caused by a modern lifestyle.
> Americans still believe that Saddam was connected to 9/11 and that invading Afghanistan was the right decision to prevent more terrorism
Do you never learn?
Fuck I hate Americans.
Our government sucks your cock and Australians generally can't fucking stand it.
go to google maps, search new york, take a look at new wtc, make it double, crash planes into it/explode bombs/set a fire to it in a fucking broad daylight, two of these massive buildings collapse with people in them
now you can easily imagine how much happening threads there would be on int and pol
Plane hijackings we're extremely common up until that point
>America
>learning
There is your answer.
No, the sole reason we invaded and overthrew sadaam is because he kept threatening to trade oil in something other than USD and NATO had a genuine concern for possible WMDs. When NATO peacekeepers were sent to search for WMD evidence, Sadaam wouldn't let us search in a few places which confirmed our suspicions. Of course we all know now that he didn't have any. We used the WMD scapegoat to intervene
No the sole reason for the Iraq invasion was lobbying from pro-Israel groups

this aswell.
It was an american holocaust. The world will now NEVER hear the end of it.
At least Saddam paid the price for his act of terror.
It was more than one thing. Geopolitics is a lot more complex than the cartoon "da joos did it" version Jow Forums subscribes to. Which is not to dispute your point. Certainly the Israel lobby had plenty to do with it.
too bad more dumb poolaks didnt get fragged by Iraqis.
guess they were too smart to allow themselves to be used as frontline meatshields.
yeah those poor natives, receiving $2,000 a month in apologies from uncle sam
>receiving $2,000 a month
the day when they receive as much as pissrael does is the day we can begin calling it "reperations"
Americans are actually based af for literally ruining middle east after it. I sort of envy them as local churkas here didnt pay full price for their deeds, bur raghads were bombed into oblivion. Anyone who judge american crusade after 9/11 is dumb or shitskin.
it's not my fault that they spend it all on alcohol and pow wow blackout drugs
>It was more than one thing. Geopolitics
Nope there's very little value for the US to spending triilions to break apart Iraq. Israel however, got to get rid of one its main rivals in maintaining regional hegemony
>$2000
Thats welfare. Any schmuck can get $2000 a month from uncle sam. Even you
>he thinks the government hands out $2,000 a month to people
lol
crusade?
lol you fucking dumb kaccap lol
first time americans got attacked on home ground since pearl harbour
fuck off melbun faggot my aussie gf loves trump and hates minorities, shes not even a bogan

CRAWLIIIIING IN MY SKIIIIN
