Absolutely! When they collapsed, the buildings ended up in the foundation bath tub. Neater than it could have been but still a pain to remove. Plus, if I recall correctly, the nose gear from one of the aircraft was found in 2011... 10 years after the event!

All the steel was packed onto trucks and shipped out to China to be recycled. Why the rush and need to get the evidence out of the country within days? The police or FBI would've went mental at a crime scene being pulled apart like that. If I'd lost someone there, I'd have been asking why they trucked it all up and the operating to ship it out to China in days began and the security for those trucks and at the docks was excessively overboard.

Two things, 1.) Simon drew "the line," on the conspiracy talk to stay on topic. Speculation seems like an impossibly easy thing to fall into on this issue. Great video. 2.) My air conditioner kicked on around the 14:50ish mark right when I SWORE I heard Simon say "The mission to fly in 25 BABY seals aboard helicopters who would then storm the compound and kill Bin Laden...." I had to back the video up to listen to it again...and again, and now I can't unhear it. Not to make light of a serious topic, but man, it really sounded like some badass baby seals were about to wreak havoc.

I was in Toronto. Just got home after an 15 hour day rigging a show at the Skydome, which then got cancelled when it was considered a potential target. I was called back TO THE POTENTIAL TARGET to take the show down. I refused, not because it was a target (it wasn't really) but because we were all so tired, it was unsafe. I had also already poured myself a drink before turning the TV on at the 'end' of my day. Drinking and heights don't mix... No one went back, and as I understand it, the venue didn't charge any extra for the days delay...

There’s a fantastic tv show called The Newsroom and they did an episode about the killing of OBL. The episode was titled “5/2” and highlighted the steps that the fictional media company ACN had to take in order to ascertain if the information and rumours were correct. If you’ve never seen the show then I highly recommend it as it’s very funny but also serious as to how the news is portrayed.

I’ll never forget I was in 8th grade woke up to get ready for school the news was on from the night before I see hundreds of people outside of the White House and Times Square and the caption said “we got em UBL is dead.” At first I was like who is UBL? Then after a second I realized they meant Osama Bin Laden. I knew it was a moment I’d never forget as it was happening I remember waking my mom up who got my dad and we all stood in the living room at watched

'...With most on the ground saying it was the most ferocious bombing campaign they'd ever experienced.' The fact that these people have so enough experience with being bombed to be able to compare bombings against each other is actually the saddest part about this video.
