Dank Memes

I hate seeing a terrorist attack as a meme. Thousands of innocent civilians went to work that day (or even were just visiting the towers). Religious terrorists, radicalized by their religion, hijacked and flew airplanes into the towers and murdered them all. All in the name of "god". List of the three thousand innocent civilians murdered on September 11th.

If you think this is funny, you should hear the recorded phone calls on September 11th of all those innocent people saying goodbye to their loved ones because they knew they would not be able to get out of the burning buildings moments before the towers collapsed. Or watch the videos of people jumping out of the buildings because they're choking on acrid smoke. Some chose to die by impact since it was less painful than burning to death.

Here are a few quotes taken from the recorded phone calls/voicemails of a few victims:

"Mom, it's Stephen. My plane... my building got hit by a plane. And right now... I think I'm okay, I'm safe now but it's smoky. I just wanted to say how much I love you."

"I just wanted to let you know I love you and I'm stuck in this building in New York. There's lots of smoke and I just wanted you to know that I love you always." Melissa Harrington Hughes, 31.

"Jill, there's a fire on my floor. I love you, tell Nicole 'I love you'. I don't know if I'm going to be ok here. I love you so much." Jim Gartenberg

Recorded transcript between a trapped person named Kevin and an Emergency Operator:

• "There's smoke - really bad - [Floor] 105 Tower Two.
• Emergency Operator: "Alright, sit tight. We'll get to you as soon as we can."
• "You keep saying that but the smoke's really bad. I can barely breathe."
• Operator: "It's all we can do."
• "Where are you? What floor are you guys up to?"
• Operator: "We're getting there. We're getting there."
• "Doesn't feel like it man, I've got young kids."
• Operator: "I understand that, sir."
• "You've got stacks of people up here. I know you've got a lot in the building but we're up on the top. Smoke rises, too. We're on the floor - we're in the - window. Come on, I can barely breathe now - can't see."
• Operator: "Okay, just try to hang in there."
• "You can say that, you're in an air-conditioned building. It's really bad - it's black, it's arid. We're young men - we're not ready to die. We're overlooking the financial centre. Three of us - two broken windows."

A recent example documentary that highlights these recorded phone calls. There are lots of them out there:

It's never funny when innocent persons die all over the world. Whether it's our elected elite rulers toying with our lives, or terrorists (or the extremely devout) deciding their god was better than someone else's god, and whispered in their ear that their killing was just.
