It doesn't feel like it was 20 years ago.

Just watched this and the first episode was about history and leading to 9/11. Pretty well made I think.
Even learned something new. I didn't know they tried to blow up the towers back in 1993.
Anyway seems to be many new ones released right now.

20 years? Damn that fact will make you realize you've aged. I'm still younger than most of you so at least I still have that going for me.

Your talking to someone that listens to the full broadcast day of "A date that will live in infamy" (unfortunately, I know too many just graduated "historians" that do not know what that is) as the only thing that I/my family listen to that day, I think I have just 20 yrs covered. Sadly, I will say that the majority do not (at least 51%), especially considering how horrid the same people that did so much back then are treated now (and that changed started happening long before now).
Of course, with sept 11, it also competes with my parents wedding anniversary (which was a tradition long before the twin towers).

United 93 is a good movie. Everything was normal, until it wasn’t

Me thinks you know the answer... if not, it's not hard to find. Joey B Hiding will get his just due. Until then, We as a nation must remember, re-access, re-group, reorganize and re-affirm ...no more...never again. 20 years ago today, we were shown how vulnerable we really were. Over the course of the next 19 years and 4 months, we became much stronger and far less vulnerable. Today, we are now FAR MORE vulnerable and far weaker. My how a few can do so much damage with so little effort in so short of time. Is that a world that you want for your future . . . your children's future . . . for your grand-children? WTFUA! Those that forget history are destined to relive it. The second time around is almost always far worse.

History MUST be remembered and taught. Do you think WWII holocaust survivors and their children forget? HELL NO!

No, I haven't forgotten. I was installing gold leaf vinyl glass door lettering and a sign 12 blocks from the world trade center that morning, Working on the reverse cut door vinyl, I saw everyone outside through the window stop moving and jerk their heads in the same direction. I thought it was a car accident. I went outside to check it out and saw smoke coming from the World Trade Center. A guy on the sidewalk told me a plane had hit the WTC. I felt in my gut immediately it was terrorism and said that to the guy. He said "really, you think so?" I entered into a weird sort of trance. I finished the door lettering and set up my step ladder to install the sign above the door, 2'x5'x.250 acid etched brass sign, stud mounted. The sidewalk was a madhouse, the smells stay with me to this day. I finished the install. As I was loading my tools and ladder into my wagon, I saw the second tower collapse. Getting out of town was crazy. Everything was gridlock and I'm not a master of New York roads. Totally locked in traffic and at a stop I rolled down my window a asked a guy in a van, a plumber, I think, "how can I get to Connecticut? He said, " you're Fu***d, the roads are all closed. My attitude was, just get as far away from ground zero as possible, so I kept driving in the "away" direction. There I am sitting in traffic when I feel a knock on my window. It's the plumber... he had gotten out his van and run up to my wagon and said, " here's what you can do" he proceeded to tell me a crazy route through neighborhoods that eventually brought me to an entrance to 95 north. I got on and it was so weird, there were no cars except me. I expected to get to a road block where cops would not let me proceed. Eventually I met a car, then a few more and I realized I was out and on my way back to Connecticut. No, I don't think I'll ever forget 9/11

Exactly... one of the reason so many have forgotten ...along with wanting to forget. Absolute Foolishness.

I think it was around 6 a.m. (my time) on a Tuesday. The kids were still asleep, I was drinking my first cup of coffee, scanning the morning paper and contemplating my long planned upcoming Bear Hunt. I turned on the news and lost all concept of time, what I was doing and responsibility. The paper fell to the floor, my coffee got cold, the kids did not get to school and I considered cancelling my hunting trip. Needless to say, I did not work that day and did not sleep well for many nights. I did make the hunting trip with my buddy (a County Sheriff Deputy). We couldn't seem to enjoy or time out or really get engaged with or goal. We cut our trip short and returned home to our families. I know we both cried when we got home. An interesting thing followed. . . A number of immigrant neighbors that had come from the middle east came and visited. . . proclaiming allegiance to the U.S.A. pledging brotherhood and cursing the terrorists of 9/11. Explaining where they came from, why, their beliefs, dreams and wishes in life. It was a real game changer. I think more of them remember 9/11 and are more afraid than most. Today, we have a greater and more dangerous influx of enemy.

Unfortunately, history around here is going through a thorough look see from the cultural marxists, so I don't really think there is much hope that in public school system, history is going to be remembered all that well (ironically it hadn't been looked all that well even from my generation). Like I mentioned before, I've seen it were people didn't know that particular date that I referenced earlier and they were supposedly History Majors (and I only officially minored in it). Imagine what it is like for the "normies" (which is the vast majority). Let's not forget that certainly political figures choose to reflect on other things yesterday versus what it really should have been about.

How could I forget? 9/11 was all about creating a crisis to jam through the unpatriotic Patriot Act which had already been fully written waiting for the crisis necessary to pass it. This essentially destroyed governmental protection of several of our most important God given rights. Bush killed the Constitution and Obama nailed the coffin shut. Welcome to the New World Order, hope you enjoy it.

Well, that has been said by the other event that I keep on mentioning and that there are some that believe that was allowed to happen as well.
I will say this, typically when a population is afraid, things are allowed to go through that wouldn't ordinarily have gone through. Recent events and the resulting fear porn that goes along with that, should be illustrative of that. And to a point, that is to be expected as fear and how it was handled was important for basic survival. Not needed to this level as much anymore however (and hasn't been to this level for a long time, long before anyone here was a gleam in their great great grandparents eyes (I would say longer, but I'm being conservative and not trying to go too overboard)).
