9-11 9

I’m at the New York airport. It’s 9/11. The city is having a bout of nostalgia. While I’m watching all this, I wonder: when were the [Gujarat earthquakes](http://www.google.com/search?q=Gujarat earthquakes)? Why do I (and the world) remember 9/11 better? Probably because terrorist attacks are more glamorous than natural disasters. Because New York is more top-of-mind than Gujarat. But mostly, because 9/11 became a way of referring to the event and 1/26 did not. Interesting… that what you choose to remember an event by can impact when it’s remembered.

The US $20 bill can be folded to create “pictures” of the 9/11 explosions. Comments bob 29 Nov 2006 1:40 pm: now that is some fucking crazy shit

Is America over-reacting? That attack on Afghanistan apart, they’ve shut down Somalia’s Internet access, they’re policing posters, introducing the SSSCA…

Is Jose the tourist guy?

OK. What now?

Unfortunate, but among the early hits of the attack are privacy and free speech.

There’s been several mails about Nostradamus’ prophecy coming true with the World Trade Center bombings. Stuff like “In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb” , “The third big war will begin when the big city is burning” I refer you to this article to put things in perspective.
