A true 9/11 survival story, as told by Brian Clark and Stanley Praimnath.
Two strangers, three floors apart in the South Tower.
Told as closely as I could to their own public accounts.
Still to this day, my favorite 9/11 movie ever made, with some of the most jaw-dropping endings I've ever seen in a movie. Whatever your thoughts on the subject matter, you can't deny that United 93 (2006) is a masterful piece of filmmaking. 25 years since the attack happened and 20 years since the movie came out, this scene still hurts like the first time I saw it. If you have not seen it, please do, at least once in your lifetime. It's a difficult watch, but it's one that I believe deserves to be seen and remembered.
Paul Greengrass had some insane balls for pulling this off. Rest In Peace to the heroes on this flight who fought back and chose to sacrifice themselves when they had the chance to save more lives on the ground 🙏💔 🥀
This scene from White Lotus is very poignant. It perfectly captures every progressive person that I know especially academics. It is unthinkable to them that a person might not share their political orientations.
My family and I escaped execution in Lebanon because Islam wanted to kill us. My parents were kidnapped by Fatah and were severely mistreated. Our home in Beirut was stolen by Palestinian Muslims. My wife's family escaped Lebanon because Islam wanted to kill them. Her ancestors escaped the Armenian genocide because Islam wanted to kill them. My grandparents escaped Syria because Islam wanted to kill them. My brother-in-law's family escaped Alexandria (Egypt) because Islam wanted to kill them. My family and I are leaving Montreal because Islam wants to kill us (the number of threats that I've received forced me to take a two-year leave from my home university). I'm moving to @olemiss /@umdeclaration to defend American liberties and freedoms from ideological threats. @LibyaLiberty, a vile Islamist who despises Jews, is now "reporting" me to my new institution because I dare criticize Islam. Imagine the chutzpah. I will NEVER stop defending the West from the dangers that it faces. Long live the United States.
I had to pretend Furkan Korkmaz was an NBA player, I had to cheer for Tobias Harris, I had to watch them draft Markelle Fultz instead of Jayson Tatum & him forget how to play basketball… I promise I deserve this
I have been briefed on today’s horrifying stabbings on the Upper West Side, where an Asian man and a Jewish man were attacked. According to witness and victim statements, the perpetrator yelled “Allahu Akbar” during both attacks. I am relieved that both victims are in stable condition.
The NYPD responded immediately and arrested Raul Morales in connection with both assaults—and I am grateful to the officers for their swift response.
The NYPD’s initial investigation suggests that mental health may have been a factor. They are also evaluating these stabbings as potential hate crimes.
These hateful and despicable attacks have no place in our city.
