It would appear that the strain was more than he could bear
Leaving the thread unlocked for a terrible event that brought us all together. Trying to explain it to my daughter is like my parents explaining JFK to me. I hope she doesn’t have an event that gives her an understanding of what it felt like that day.
At the 3:54 mark. I'll never forget being there.
This and the guy that pushed the hotdog out of the bun during the promo spot of "Bryant's Student Section of the Game".
My buddies dad. LEGEND!
9/11, the absolute worst event on mainland American soil EVER. And its not even close.

Battle of Antietam had 10k+ killed on both sides in one day. I'd think we should learn the lesson that Americans fighting with each other is 10x worse than what foreign entities could do on our soil. Let's not do anything like that again...
This is such a dumb argument to continue...it's Jordan vs LeBron and subjective. Additionally, whether it's the worst or not is really of no importance when considering the event's significance.
Can't help it though...Maryland was mainland US soil.
The federal government is raiding multiple gas station, vape shops, and homes in the pine belt area right now. All of these places are foreigner owned, & generally middle eastern people. It's wild! Helicopters, military, law enforcement everywhere! Just saw it in Hattiesburg but reported all over the pine belt.
I could go with worst in my lifetime for sure and I won't argue with anyone who feels it is the worst in history. It's too subjective and I can't really imagine what it was like to live through any number of past events, or periods of violence, in US history. We have quite a list.
I'll never forget that morning at work, and the whole day spent circled around a TV in the gym, wandering back to my office trying to take a stab at work, but ultimately just fixating on the TV and events, realizing that every single other work place in America was effectively shut down for exact same reason. It was unbelievable.
School age kids should watch the Hulu documentary 9/11: One Day in America.
Jordan vs Lebron is not subjective to people with brains. Neither is the impact of 9/11.
I'll never forget the quiet skies in the days afterwards . The company I was working for had a management team in Chicago at a meeting at the time and they couldn't find a rental vehicle to get home. We had a lot of vehicles anyway so the owner just bought a van (which we ended up using a lot) in Chicago and they drove home.
It's hard to believe it was 24 years ago. It really was like Pearl Harbor for our generation. For a little while after the attack, America was completely united. About a month later, George W. Bush threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium in Game 3 of the World Series. He threw from the mound and threw a strike right down the middle of the plate. The crowd roared. It was like America saying "We are 17ing back!"
There's no pushback. As a statement of fact, there's just right and wrong.
Trolling a 9/11 thread with that sums up the liberal mindset. Enjoy your free speech along with its consequences.
Trolling on a troll thread sums up political discourse in this country quite nicely.
A little Toby Keith for the day

Not to question your English ACT but what he did was use a simile to help communicate the subjective nature of the OPs definitive statement. I could, for example, make a case for Pearl Harbor as Jordan while the OP could make a case for 9/11 (LeBron) and both can be reasonably argued as prettty freakin’ bad. However, it’s probably adequate to just set personal political dislikes aside and agree that we should honor all those victims and heroes associated with the tragedy on 9/11.
Settle down. I wasn't trolling. I referenced a well discussed topic as a comparison.
I'm probably the only one here who thinks this but I don't believe you can talk about our "worst events" without including Lincoln's assassination among the top two or three.....just my opinion.
Ill never forget trying to resume business travel when the airports opened back up. I understood the safety concerns, and I know everyone was just doing their job, but you never knew what new security measure would be in place. And it wasnt consistent from airport to airport. The first few flights I took, armed military opened and inspected everyone's luggage.
At first I really missed being able to walk all the way to the gate to greet or drop off passengers. Now, im kinda glad we dont have extra people milling around concourse. And I lot of people have forgotten we used to do that.
Don't you know but frankly it was a little all over the place before. Show your ticket or don't going through the body scanner is one I remember and the oddest was Memphis. Been through a lot of airports but the only one you not only had take your lap top out but turn it on.
