They weren’t huge but they weren’t bad.. but for the amount of people the building could hold, they could have been bigger! But even if they were bigger it wouldn’t have been a saving moment. This destruction was planned and they were coming down no matter what. They even blew down build7 at the end of day!

@@republicofoctania9571 when my dad was blown in the air, when tower fell, he scraped his elbow. He waited 2 days before going to the ER because it ended up infected. We told him to go to ER that night. I told him to go to ER on ride home. My dad had some health issues before Sept 11, 2001. He already survived cancer from 1988. Around Dec 2011, my dad got pneumonia. Then my dad was said to have a similar cancer again. We're not sure if this is related to WTC where he did EMT from approx. 9:15 am. My dad passed away in 2012. I believe my dad would still be alive if this surgeon dand dr idn't do a surgery when my dad had pneumonia. The other dr said the pneumonia would take 6 to 8 weeks to get better. My mom had left me out of the decision for surgery. I'd have told her to wait a few weeks because my dad was weak already. About a week after the surgery, they gave him too much chemo. He woke up around 3 am and fell. My mom had to call ambulance to take dad to hospital. He had a heart attack and they put him on life support. After 2 to 3 days they said my dad had no brain activity. We know our dad would not want to live on life support, so we had to let him go. Thank you for asking. May g-d bless you and your family always. Much success and health to all.

But…hey…even if your comment was negative, thanks for boosting my engagement! (Megan wait for some comment about how all she cares about is engagement and being a superficial influencer, which the commenter doesn’t realize is continuing to boost engagement and help her out in the long term, even if it’s through hurtful words. Pretty ironic someone thinking I didn’t show compassion to 9/11 shares their thoughts with so little compassion. I’ll wait for your comment about I’m stupid and didn’t understand you.)
