911
William Rodriguez, WTC’s North Tower 9/11/2001

Basement Level B1
An explosion so hard that pushes upwards in the air.
Upwards.
And it came out from below us, from the mechanical room that was right below us.

Two different events separated by almost seven seconds (explosion/plane) I know the difference of a sound coming from the top and one from the bottom.

QUOTE: I made it there at 8:30 in the morning, go straight to the lobby, down to the basement.
The building has six sublevels of basement.
B1, B2 all the way down to B6.
At 8:46 we hear BOOM!
An explosion so hard that pushes upwards in the air.
Upwards.
And it came out from below us, from the mechanical room that was right below us.
And it was so loud and so powerful that all the walls cracked.
The false ceiling fell on top of us, the sprinkler system got activated, and everybody started screaming so loud because they didn't know what was going on.
And the first thing I'm going to say is that a generator just blew up on the B2 level, the level below me and everybody screaming.
And when I'm going to verbalize it 6 to 7 seconds after we're here.
But!
The impact all the way on the top of the building of the plane.
Two different events separated by almost seven seconds, separated by time.
And now I work in the building for 20 years.
I know the difference of a sound coming from the top and one from the bottom.
So when everybody started, what the heck is going on?
A person comes running into the office saying, explosion! Explosion!
His hands extended, all the skin pulled from under his armpits, on both arms hanging, and we thought it was clothing.
It was part of his clothes.
Until he gets closer, he's coming like this.
Like a zombie explosion. Explosion.
And when I looked at him, I realized it was his skin.
Like when you take off a glove and you let it hang him.
And when I get to see his face, all this part was hanging off his face.
And everybody started screaming in horror.
And I say, don't move.
The guy was a black guy named Philippe David worked for a company called Aramark.

Before announcing his college commitment to BYU, Bruce Branch III got emotional talking about his mom 🥺

He is the No. 6 recruit in the @SCNext Class of 2026.

WATCH���: Black Detroit pastor stunned by Trump's unannounced church visit: "Nothing was pre-programmed. Nothing was planned. He comes in, the most authentic person I've ever met."

Trump personally asked for prayer, genuinely wanted to be around Black people—and everyone could feel it. "He wasn't socially awkward." What you see is what you get. 🙏🏿🇺🇸

One of the greatest liberal wake up moments of all time 🔥

“I would like to say Mr President I am so sorry for believing the lies that the MSM has projected on me.. I stand by you. I love you. I thank you for what you’re doing for this country. I’m so sorry that I took it for granted… And you have one more supporter standing beside you and praying for you.”

NICK SHIRLEY: "I don't drink alcohol, I don't do drugs, I'm a virgin, I don't have sex with random girls, I don't have addictions, I don't have vices, so what are they going to get me for? I believe in God. I'm religious. I'm everything that they hate."

@_willcompton Actions speak louder than words, they don’t even have to say it at this point.
It’s blatant.

They should just say, there’s only 3 power conferences.
At least we would know where we stand

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

BYU should be in the College Football Playoff regardless of the result of the Big 12 Championship game.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

It’s gonna take the National Guard to take this team outta the playoffs. If the committee wants to steal it from us we’ll just take it on Saturday! #coachstays #ProvoDave

Official statement from Cincinnati AD…

[TONY™ @TONYxTWO]

Erika Kirk just shared this video of her and Charlie for her birthday today 🙏🏼

“I always loved celebrating you, and maybe because it was a reflection of how beautifully you always celebrated me. I romanticized growing old with you, the love of my life. I used to wonder what our faces would look like with wisdom-wrinkles. You'd always tell me how you hoped I'd keep my long hair even when we were both gray and also that l'a always wear white (because it was the color you loved me wearing the most). We'd laugh about how you'd probably still be out on college campuses in your 80s, doing "Prove Me Wrong" campus events because you loved those students. And then we'd both start to tear up when talking about our babies growing older and having a family of their own. A full life.

And today, I find myself, in some way, still romanticizing growing old with you, just in different locations.

So as I blow out candles this year with an ache so deep I pray no one ever has to feel it, I'm reminded that each day, each moment, each birthday...you're with me.
Not in the way I once dreamed, but in the way God has mercifully allowed.”

Gavin Newsom says that he hates it when politicians lie. 😃

What a quote Gavin. Thank you. It's going to be so useful over the next three years.

We're down to just four undefeated teams 💯

Repost if your team is still perfect through Week 10 🙌

Trump is building a $250M ballroom that is privately funded. Obama built a $376M basketball court during a recession, and tax funded. Dems are MAD AF

Résumé comparison:

#6 Oregon:
• Beat 5-3 Northwestern on the road
• Beat 3-4 Penn State on the road
• Lost by 10 at home

#13 Texas Tech:
• Crushed #22 Houston by 24 on the road
• Crushed #24 Utah by 24 on the road
• Lost by 4 with backup QB on the road

Why is Oregon #6?
