why September 11th? This is the stuff conspiracies are written from.
- bryanrasmussen 4y agoyeah it does seem like a weird and stupid date to pick.
- iamtheworstdev 4y agoRTFA: Kaye’s solution is to cap Heathrow passenger numbers at 100,000 per day for the Summer period, which they are specifying as ending on 11th September.
- decremental 4y agoIt's surprising that no one in the room was like yeaaahh let's push the date up a bit. It's a great meme though.
- iamtheworstdev 4y agoi suspect they're more worried about maximizing revenue and less concerned about QAnon believers drumming up some stupid shit.
- decremental 4y agoI don't know what QAnon is but I was thinking more along the lines of it just being in poor taste.
- kzrdude 4y agoIt's a Sunday. That week ends there. It seems best to just be neutral about it and just use it as a date.

- karagenit 4y agoI think it’s just 60 days from when they decided to start implementing the policy (july 12)
- jb12 4y agoBecause that date doesn't actually have a whole lot of significance outside of the USA?
- iso1631 4y agoIt's been over 20 years. The London bombings on July 7th 2005 (or 7/7 as they were known) were a big thing in the UK obviously. Not to Sky Sports though, who posted on July 7th "In honour of 7/7, who's the first player you think of" To really grasp dates like 9/11 or 7/7 you'd have to have been at least say 10 years old at the time. The 20 year old intern posting the sky sports tweet would have been 3 at the time and wouldn't associate the date. People under the age of 30 wouldn't remember 9/11 like the rest of the world did, and it did have a massive affect on the whole world - not least because of the response to it (unlike say March 11th 2004 in Madrid)
