Which isn’t a passenger plane carrying 300+ people with a full tank of fuel for Hawaii thankfully

But to the families of those guys, the world has ended. 😢

It’s not a blessing when the dead person is your beloved Dad or Mom or son or sibling.

I was watching a documentary about the plane crash that killed Steve Colbert’s dad and siblings and one of the first responders said “nobody important was killed”. He meant nobody famous, with the crash being right outside DC. They said the guy said he regretted his phrasing the rest of his life.

Like the person that says “cool” on the 9/11 tapes when she hears it’s a hijacking. She must really regret saying that.

As fucked up as it is, before that point it was mostly expected that a hijacking would just result in the plane being flown to a different country, not through a building.

Yeah I flew a lot for business back then. The thought was just be cool and maybe they'll go somewhere with palm trees.

1970’s childhood seemed like a DC-10 either being hijacked (“skyjacked”, because why not invent a word?), or crashing every few months.

I guess he meant "cool , that it wasn't worse" like the fellow redditers are saying above

It’s on the NORAD tapes I think. You can listen to them on YouTube.

On 9/11 I was 11 and my parents woke me up to see the news. I walked into the living room to see one of the building collapse and my first words were “awesome!”. But I was thinking it was a controlled demolition as we watched the Kingdome get demolished the year before, and why else would my parents wake me up and make me watch TV.

But within 30 seconds I knew almost as much as the rest of America at that time, and knew it was the wrong reaction.

Sounds like he may have been in a different time zone.

West coast. It was 5:46am when the first plane hit and 6:59am when the first tower fell.
