I'm old enough to have pretty vivid memories of watching a lot of this live. I don't really want to relive it. Keep the memories alive? Certainly. But rewatchin

  somehow this makes me feel old...

  Heck yeah! What are you doing to help? I'm pretty exhausted at this point, hard to focus.

    Nothing exciting or noteworthy: staying home, avoiding crowds, wearing a mask, have my shots. Trying to be extra kind and friendly with people in places like supermarkets, or teachers. Supporting our school board that takes it seriously and is implementing science-based precautions.

  > But rewatching? Too much. I remember seeing the SRB trails of OV-099 in the sky. Twenty years later it was possible to rewatch that on Youtube, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. But by now, I've watch that video and a few documentaries. I had no personal loss on January 26 1986, but it still took some time for me to be able to digest it. And I'm glad that I did.

    Came in to my 5th grade elementary school class and found my teacher crying. She'd made it through several rounds of the selection process to be on board the Challenger. I don't like to watch that either, but... at least it was far fewer people, who had also signed up to take a risk, and it was a case of negligence rather than malice.

      > at least it was far fewer people The human loss was never the issue. The issue is the symbolism. The loss of a spacecraft that was designed - or at least promoted - as our pickup truck to space took away the notion that we could conquer the heavens. We went from sending up tin cans to sending up pickup trucks, but if those pickup trucks were going to lose cargo and crew then maybe we as a species are not ready to leave those tin cans or even Earth. Likewise, the destruction of the Twin Towers and a large portion of the Pentagon was a huge symbolic loss for the west in general and the US in particular. That's why the terms 9/11 and "Twin Towers" are almost synonymous yet the crash at the DoD is hardly ever mentioned. The US can suffer the loss of its symbol of the capitalistic market, the Twin Towers. But the bruise to the ego of the DoD is much more sensitive. Today there are full articles that purport to report on the events of 9/11, which do not even mention the Pentagon. Just ask the guy sitting next to you what happened on 9/11. Any mention of the Pentagon?

  Well, some of us never saw it in the first place.

  I'm with you, I remember watching these when I left my very first physics lecture as a freshman. I have no trouble remembering it, so I assume this is mostly for people who have never seen it.

  It doesn't have to be too old actually. I was just 13 when everything happened. And I do remember that day very clear. Somehow a lot of small details are still in my head. Like the couch I was sitting on or how I was just watching live news all day long or the buildings pictures on TV. I was based in Moscow, Russia. And I was politically brainwashed fairly good (thx, Dad). Means USA was some kind of world villain center for the small me. Even though it was crystal clear for me, that 9/11 is something which should never happen to anyone. Moreover recent terrorist attacks [0] in Russia were still very fresh in my memory. Well, it was just a couple of months after I finally stopped thinking in before-sleep time whether I will survive the night or not. 9/11 helped to revive that fear.

  I saw it live on TV when I was 17, in the southern US. I'd never been to NYC before or anywhere near it. The way events were unfolding, and then the cut to the Pentagon on fire, I genuinely thought the entire country might be under attack, maybe even my own city eventually. I was excited to watch this again, mostly because I had zero understandng of the world at that time. It was interesting to see the reactions of the anchors with my older eyes, seeing them display genuine empathy and shock at what they were seeing. I remember whichever channel I was watching at the time, the anchor continued to question exactly what was going on, but with this site I was able to see other anchors! After the second plane hit, the one I wasn't watching live said it was an obvious terrorist attack, which is a shock to me. I kinda assumed everyone was as confused as I was. Another shock: I got to feel again the genuine fear I felt then. In all the years that have passed and my anger at all the adults in my life for becoming bloodthirsty and cheering on Bush and the Iraq war, 9/11 had morphed into a vague meme. A symbol of so many of the terrible things I'd eventually learn about the US government. I'd forgotten just how scary everything was on that particular day.
