"Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling."
The event was used as an excuse to take away more of our freedoms. Like the War on Drugs.
We are running out of things to take. What will be demanded when the well runs dry?
"dear god, what have I done!?"
Bill seems like a good guy. I read the article hoping that he would mention that he has a brother called Tom.

Two possibilities here; either the country was under attack, and not only did this guy decide it was a good time to go bowling, but the bowling ally decided not to close for the day, or; this guy bowled at least one full game before 8:46 am. Not sure which is weirder.
Even better, he was at work and couldn't think of anything better to do after the shift ended.
I was in college in Texas when it happened. I don't remember anything closing.
All of my classes kept to their regular schedules.
Interesting. I grew up in NYC, so obviously, everything shut down. We were kept at school (high school), but they gave up on teaching before noon, and everyone needed to be picked up by an adult (which was frustrating for me because I lived two blocks away).
I live in Massachusetts now, and most people recount something similar; not as severe, but school was let out early and their parents left work early. Maybe it was because some of the hijackers left from Logan.
Or started the game before then and decided to finish anyway. Or started before then and was too in the zone to hear about news.
My money is on everyone being distracted so he took the opportunity to walk to the end of the lane and keep knocking over all the pins by hand.
"Hey Earl, they just hit the pentagon. Maybe someone should tell Bill?"
"Look, he's at 260. Unless they get the White House, I say we let him have this."
Bill does for us in the bowling alley what G.B. did for those kids in the classroom.
And, the planes hit at 9 in the morning, it’s not like he had time to bowl and then the planes hit. This guy was playing while the rest of the country was glued to their televisions.
My entire school knew within minutes of the second plane. There’s no fucking way he left the house that day and didn’t know.
The alley was probably nice and quiet, he could focus on his game.

If I don't bowl today the terrorists win.
That's actually strangely beautiful. The worst terrorist attack on this country and people who weren't directly affected just kinda... continue going about their lives.
It's obviously tone-deaf and selfish too, but from the attackers' perspective, what did you actually accomplish with all that money, planning, and lives spent?
Literally tho. That's the kind of thing Bush & Giuliani were saying.
if you don't lie about wmds and start a war lasting two decades based on a lie the terrorists win
I remember losing track of time watching it on TV and my boss called all pissed off. Rush to work and he is giving us shit because everyone was late. A coworker guilt tripped him hard about how we all just watched thousands of people die and were traumatized. He shut up and eventually sent us home early.

I wonder what it would be like today... Just one 8 hour long news segment that not everyone even hears about?
Oh god, all the top video clips would be made by people who died minutes after uploading them.

I won an online digital photography contest that day.
Are we sure this didn't happen in one of the many countries that write their dates properly?

This is the second best day of my life!
Sir. A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack.
This is the best day of my life!
"40 Wall street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually before the World Trade Center the tallest, and and then when they built the World Trade Center it became known as the second-tallest, and now it's the tallest And I just spoke to my people, and they said it's the most unbelievable sight, it's probably seven or eight blocks away from the World Trade Center, and yet Wall Street is littered with two feet of stone and brick and mortar and steel ..."
Trump on 9/11.
Yes, he was always narcissistic scum. NYC tried to warn everyone else.

Wow, he used to be coherent.
But that was before 2001, apparently.
