I’d say I did a pretty good job of it.

The irony of realizing years later these didn’t cure acne, they were a major cause of it.

Something I just noticed watching the Naudet footage of Atta flying into the north tower.

There is an explosion 10+ floors above the impact zone…at the top floors of the building. You can see the beginning of it here…two puffs in the middle at the very top of the building, well above the impact zone.

I’m guessing this is from ignited fuel going up the elevator shaft, but is this where the Windows of the World restaurant would be? Curious why these floors’ windows blew out but the ones between it and the impact floors didn’t.

If it was the restaurant, it looks like the central part of the restaurant closest to the elevators might have exploded with the first impact. An assumption…but never previously considered such a thing.

I apologize if this question is morbid…but I’ve always been curious about how exactly physics played out on the planes as they actually entered the tower. The 2 questions I had:

1. Is there any chance the hijackers had a glimpse of inside the tower before they died? Using this photo..the cockpit is inside the tower but has not yet hit the core of the building. At this point just the building facade, office desks, and sadly people on the north side of the building is all the plane had hit, and velocity can act like a bit of a force field for the lack of better words.
2. Are the passengers in the back of the plane still alive at the moment of this photo? I’ve always been curious if the whiplash of hitting the building would have been the fatal millisecond….or was the velocity so strong they were killed by hitting the core too…so a split second after this photo was taken?

I remember seeing a similar discussion if the people in the the planes would have had time to visually register looking towards the cockpit that they were impacting the building…and it was hypothesized people at the back of the plane might of had a few milliseconds of visibility of the front of the plane disintegrating in front of them.

That question led me to this similar wavelength. Again, apologies if this is morbid. Just genuinely curious.

I don't know if this was a midwest thing...but in KS, when this album came-out, supposedly the version that showed the guy's full-face was incredibly rare and was going to be worth a lot of money some day. All of us 'common kids' got the version that just showed the strips of his eyes.

All of you with the full-face cover, how's retirement treating you?
