9/11 Broke the US. There is very distinctly a before 9/11 and after 9/11 and things before were completely different. I was 19 at the time. I am sad for kids that had to grow up in a post 9/11 world. 9/11 was more successful than the saudis could have ever dreamed. I am holding out hope that maybe, just maybe the country can recover. However, a not insignificant portion of the country is outraged that Barak Obama didn't do anything about 9/11 and that Covid is a hoax. This timeline sucks ass.

I remember coming home from 5th grade and seeing this on the news. It was surreal since America, even as a minority, seemed just… I had a different image before.
Now I’m a jaded adult and you’re right, the cracks started to show soon after. I appreciated how people came together and then…..the “war on terror”. Def a turning point
Those PASS devices sound like a really creepy cricket noise almost when they chirp together but out of phase from each other.
It’s a sound that permeates much of the post-collapse footage; when a much younger and less experienced me first heard it, I thought it was car alarms - I didn’t connect it with the fate of hundreds of fire crew.
Here’s another clip that captures the “chirping”.
