- BizyDev 6mo agoWould you say that 9/11 was "spectacular" ?
- ceejayoz 6mo agoSure. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/09/10/september-11-photos-new-york/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/09/10/september-1... "These ‘gut-wrenching, scary, spectacular’ photos capture 9/11’s trauma" https://www.chicagotribune.com/1991/03/10/us-to-iraq-no-poison-gas/ https://www.chicagotribune.com/1991/03/10/us-to-iraq-no-pois... "Given a long, slow flyover of Kuwait City and its environs by his Air Force pilots, Baker saw firsthand the awesome destruction allied and Iraqi forces unleashed on the emirate, sweeping past scores of scorched Iraqi tanks and the hundreds of burning oil wells that blackened large portions of the afternoon sky."
- kibibu 6mo agoI'll note only that "spectacle" and "spectacular" are different words and can diverge in meaning, in much the same way as "fantasy" and "fantastic".
