Re: 9/11 culture change?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, that's sort of different. McVeigh was American. These were non-americans who took over four planes and got no military resistance before slamming three of them into national landmarks. That's horrifying, you know? Plus the death count was much higher during 9/11, I think? There's still over seven thousand bone fragments that can not be identified from people who just disintegrated as the towers fell. That's...I mean, there are so many people in that building who were never found, and some who were only found by DNA tests because the body parts were so small.

It's on a different scale, terror wise.

AYRT

It may be on a different scale, but it's still terrorism. When you get down to the main aim of terrorism (to strike fear in an organized but not necessarily militaristic way), both events meet that definition. I would think that no matter the nationality of the person who perpetrated the event the notion of innocence would be lost. I actually find the notion of treasonous terrorism more horrifying even if the death toll was lower because the source is right under your nose. The fact that it didn't resonate with as many people as it should have also scares me. I honestly think if more people had bothered to learn anything about how to approach terrorism and terrorists from Oklahoma City the response to 9/11 would be markedly different.

Concerning the public, would anyone have actually believed that someone from outside the country would be allowed to take over four planes and be allowed to fly unhindered for a good hour before murdering thousands of people before 9/11? I doubt it. Pardon the overused joke, but before 9/11? The country was all 'America, Fuck yeah'. The feeling of being untouchable, that nothing like /that/ could ever happen to us, it's gone. We became a country ruled by fear.
