I'm sure there are other people who did, too.
It feels like a shame that these aren't collected...?

People just love to jump on BS. But the rest of the comment from September, 2001 is shocking to read in December, 2023:
> ... I was in Isreal once on business, and I saw what the Israelies do to the Palestinians, and what I saw made me sick to be an American because of how our government supports what the Israelis do to those people..
> Basically, the isrealis take palestinian land bit by bit to make settlements for Israelis only, and shoot/run over/kill Palestinians with the guns, helicopters and bullets that we, America give the Israelis. ...
I've been travelling to Israel, West Bank and Gaza for over a decade, the two words that come to mind are apartheid and prison. I'm lucky, I have a western passport and I can travel through the checkpoints and blockades with a wave of white privilege as I pass the masses queueing to go through metal detectors to get to their fields. In comparison as a westerner, going into a shopping centre is a brief metal detector, the airport is a nicer experience than US airports despite the elevated threat, the only extensive security checks I encounter is coming out of Gaza at Erez which takes far longer than a typical airport check.
Of course it's not without reason, Palestinian terrorists have blown up many places in Israel in the past, buses, restaurants, etc, that caution is not unwarranted.
Meanwhile the far right of the Israeli political spectrum continue to spread into areas they shouldn't be, whether it's illegal settlements in the west bank or burning Palestinian fields supported by the Israeli military. It's not just attacking Palestinians and Muslims though -- how often is the attempted eviction of Christians from Jerusalem mentioned in the US press?
It was from the inside an office building most likely across the Hudson, where you see around 3 people gathering at the window looking at the building in the background and talking, until the second plane hits and a bit afterwards.
I think I had it as a QuickTime video.
I also started to record what was going on in German TV during these hours on the news channels, I wonder if those VHS tapes are still ok.
The first thing/meme (before R. Dawkins coined it) was a screenshot of CS1.6's "Terrorists Win" overlayed on top the billowing of smoke where WTC was. The last was a short video where someone created a montage utilizing the parallax effect as well as added the instrumental portion of "Teardrop" by the band Massive Attack.
