World Trade Center - Sept 3, 2001 - Unedited

This is the whole clip of my interaction with a guard at the WTC a week before the horrific attacks.
"I" was in NYC for my friend's wedding and figured why not use NYC for an improv with Dr. Moniker...I'm there anyway. "I" was getting a shot, or trying to, at the WTC, (because what's more establishing a shot than of the WTC?) but the security guard wouldn't let "me" use a tripod...a problem for "us" because "I" am also not "me" and SOMEONE/SOEMTHING has to hold the camera. She conceded: provided "I" did it quickly and got out of there, it would be cool. 15 minutes, tops. But then her supervisor come over and made me turn off the camera and leave...told me "I" had been spotted and a return would be trespass! So to get the towers in view, to establish NYC, "I" ended up walking to Broadway and St Ann. "I" wonder if that security gaurd is alive....hope she ran like hell. Actually, I hope I got her fired! She'd be safe. Anyone know her? Would like to find her. The video "I" ended up shooting is a short called, "Dr. Moniker in NYC." It was supposed to a short about his Happenstance Generator. 9 days later, it was utterly creepy.

[@Natalie-ox7xm]

I think about that a lot, actually. In late August I was vivising a friend of my grandmother's who happened to have several magnets on her fridge. They were all neatly alighned near the top . For some reason there was a magnet of an airplane down by the bottom, nose pointed downward, as if it were crashing. I became fixated on it and got very nervous becuse I had a flight coming up. I couldn't even concentrate and felt very sick and left as soon as I could. My flight was scary with heavy turbulence from a storm in south florida that shook the plane violently. When we landed I felt relief because " that's all that bad feeling was". Just a few days later Aaliyah died a horriffic death in a crash that was easily avoidable. 3 weeks later 9/11 happened. It still freaks me out to think of the image of that small magnetic plane in a nose dive, and the absolute certainty I felt while looking at it. Knowing that it was a terrible omen.

[@MotorCityPhoenix313]

The security guard in the South Tower told people to remain in the building because he had just watched a man get decapitated by falling debris from the North Tower. He thought it was just a private plane that accidentally hit one of the towers. He didn't think it would ever be a coordinated attack. Unfortunately, it likely led to more loss of life in the South Tower. So tragic.

+Kenny Dominic Generally speaking, the construction and destruction of those towers weren't long ago. On a cosmological scale of time they came and went in the blink of an eye; a unique, short-lived existence. Only on a crazy little blue planet called Earth, do its (intelligent?) inhabitants create and destroy such a brilliant site of ingenuity. Only on Earth does the most significant event of a millennium get labelled as taboo, such that nobody ever dares reflect on the historic event that changed the face of this planet and its people. Only on our planet are we confined to think within a box... those who escape the box are shunned for it.
