      2. Its probably the same statement since 2016, just changed the date.
        What was Blackie doing on that day? Clapping?

        2. Cheering … and handing out sweets to the children. Just like the “Palestinians” were doing. Honking their horns and shooting their AK’s in the air.

  3. I remember it well and won’t ever forget. Neither will I forget Bill Maher’s characterization of the terrorist act as “not cowardly” nor Ilhan Omar’s “some people did something”
    You know…I think things took a weird turn politically ever since 9-11. It was like a clarion call for the aholes of the world to crawl out from underneath their rock.

    1. ” …. things took a weird turn politically ever since 9-11. It was like a clarion call for the aholes of the world to crawl out from underneath their rock.”

      Burton ol’ bud, you and I are on the same page. It’s as if every hate-filled loser joined forces with every self-loathing coward from that day on.

    2. If only Bush had nuked Mecca within 48 hours of 9/11 and turned it into molten glass no @$$#ole$ would have answered any clarion calls or crawled out from under any rocks.
      As Kate used to say, being nice to ( = not nuking) your enemies doesn’t make them your friends.

  4. I recall our top politicians visited the 911 site a few days following the disaster. Chretien, Stockwell Day, don’t recall the others, but the picture on the front of the Sun Newspaper in Edmonton showed our own Shawinigan Strangler holding his nose.
    What an A$$ Whole!

    1. Cretin only went down to see the World Trade site after Stockwell embarrassed him by going there first. Canada now has 1.3 million muslims. Doesn’t look good over the long haul.

  5. I remember that day very well. My wife and I were vacationing on Georgian Bay. My wife was talking on the phone to her mother when she mentioned quite casually that a large commercial jet had hit one one of the twin towers in NYC. I said, “Wow! That’s incredible.” Or words to that effect.

    Then moments later, she said to me that a second large jet had hit the second tower. I remember the feeling I had when hearing that. I was instantly filled with a great foreboding. My heart started pounding and I knew that a war had started we were in great danger. My only thoughts were, “Who did this and what is their next move?”

    I told my wife in no uncertain terms to begin packing up – we were heading home.

    1. @Blackfox.
      I was in my office when a subordinate mine dropped by and told me a plane hit one of the towers and my response was something like ‘Wow, the pilot must have been drunk” Later he mentioned it was no small Piper, but rather a passenger airline. Shocked but I still was thinking pilot error. Then later he came in again and said a second plane hit the other tower. My immediate verbal response: “Motherfucking Muslims!”

  7. *sigh* Day never forgotten. Etched in my memory forever. My most prominent memory, the big airplanes from the USA and the east coming in one by one to the only runway Winnipeg had that could handle these largest of the airplanes. Each one full of people. Each one I watched I found myself wondering if it would turn and crash in Winnipeg. Not all of them were red white and blue. There was every color from every airline around the world. US airspace was closed. It was Winnipeg or drop from the sky for lack of fuel after crossing the pacific. Funny how Americans and Canadians can bicker in the nastiest way but when our big brother to the south was sucker punched we stepped up. That was one of the good things that came out of that day. For at least a time we Canadians remembered who our big brother was and we were there when he needed us.

  8. I believe most of us remember where we were and what we were doing when we heard. My husband’s company had its American offices in the South Tower and they lost 176 employees. He called me shortly after the first aircraft hit and I ran and turned on CNN. At the time, we thought it had been an accident. I watched as the second aircraft hit the South Tower. I called my husband back and told him what had happened. We then began thinking this was not an accident. He knew people who perished and some who managed to get out before it collapsed. I know their names and always remember them on this day.

  9. I was at home in Victoria BC at the time. Woke up to the news of the first plane hitting the North Tower. Then watched live as the second plane hit the South Tower. Quickly put on my uniform and reported to work on HMCS Nanaimo. It was suppose the first day of Union Strike for civilian workers on base. Needless to say, it was a short strike. Everyone I saw on my way to HMC Dockyard had their “game face” on. We knew things had changed. By 1000, I was manning the brow to my ship with a loaded C7 and ROE instruction. Did not get to see my new wife for a long will after that day started. Very much and organize chaos day then and the weeks to follow.

  10. As much as W was an idiot – and probably a nice guy albeit a pawn of the globalist neo-con weirdos – its too bad he wasn’t smart enough to just nuke Tora Bora and turn it into a slag heap.
    The Chicoms and the Russians wouldn’t be f**king around right now, knowing you don’t screw with the US.

  11. Was on the way to work. Heard Bruce Keyon mention about checking into a story about an airplane crashing into the WTC. Arriving and turning the radio on a few minutes later the second plane had crashed. It was also our second day in our new location.
    I remember CNN showing the celebration by muslims across the river from Manhattan. Now CNN denies it. Snopes has also proven to be unreliable.

  14. The neighbor kids from across the street came over, as they did every morning to walk to school with our kids … they burst in saying “did you see it?!” “See what?” I replied. “The plane that hit the World Trade Center”, they replied. I switched on the TV just in time to see the second airliner hit the tower. Obvious terrorism I thought. And because I know a little something about buildings … I immediately said to the wife … these buildings are going to collapse! With the amount of fire raging … and the plane strikes … I knew the steel fireproofing was gone. When that happens … the steel girders and columns would rapidly heat up to their their yield point. Yes … the steel would “melt”. However the speed and totality of the collapse was shocking.

    I felt like most every other American. Those motherfuckers are gonna PAY! And no … not every raghead … I know the difference between a Sikh and a Radical Muslim. And to all the predictable leftist Democrats who said … “it was our fault” … and “we need to learn-about, and understand Islam” … Fuck you too! There’s not a damn thing I need to “understand” about a Terrorist … of any kind.

    The American flag went up on my my house, 24/7 (as it did with most other homes on my street) … and it’s been there ever since. My neighbors flags all came down in short order.

    1. Everything we need to understand about islam we learned on 9/11.

      I greatly miss the America we had for about 3 months starting on 9/12/2001.

  15. Was on a flight from Toronto to Dallas that morning, which then emergency landed in Little Rock instead, based on the President’s order.
    Never knew a plane could land that fast.
    Was lucky to get a rental car, drove to my meetings in Oklahoma, and then, a couple of days later, ended up driving back to Canada, continuously listening to radio commentary.
    Will never forget.
