That was one of the biggest tragedies in recorded history. Do you even know what it did to the economy? It was like Black Monday on a 5x multiplier.

The World Trade Center, keyword TRADE. This isn't pokemon shit, this is real-world stocks and dollars. The portfolios were ruined.

The next time you laugh at that, think about the human beings that had their vacation bonuses decimated that day. Think about how the economic blow made countries like China catch up to us. Just think about that.

If you wonder why I'm so fucking tired of capeshit movies, in particular reboots, one of the earliest modern capeshit movies was the Spider-Man one that had a trailer where a bad guy helicopter was caught in a web between the WTC towers. It had to be edited out as soon as P A T R I O T D A Y happened. no-oil

That is how old and tiresome capeshit is to me.

Deus Ex didn't have the Twin Towers in New York due to something about processing power or graphics demand. Remains funny to this day.
