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.

OK look, did I cause 9/11? Yes. But it was still an accident and I can't be held responsible.

I was just trying to get a tan on top of a nearby rooftop, and I didn't think anyone could see me. How was I supposed to know that two seperate pilots would swerve over to try to get a better look and each hit one of the towers? awooga
