I'm sure that your last statement could have a lot of different meanings, doesn't sound like you want to elaborate.
 
Hey, who is this "we?" I am the same person I was back when the buildings got clobbered in NYC and the Pentagon. Just older. Seems you are
trying to make a point using innuendo? Maybe I am missing something (due to me being 18 years older then I was 18 years ago).
 
JDEM ..... Bret didn't reply to my reply, I am just wondering what he is saying about people changing, I really have not any idea what he is referring to. Maybe being north of the border has left me a bit uninformed ..... I suspect he is saying things have gone down hill?? In what way I wonder?
 
I assume different people's take of where "we" as Americans were, versus where "we" are now varies. Varies by our ages, where we come from, etc.

One thing stuck with me. Before the Pentagon and World Trade Center got crashed into - many in the USA were constantly trashing George Bush and there was lots of division. Then after the attack, things seems more unified from what I could see. A close friend of mine said that this attack had finally brought Americans together and it would last. I laughed and told him "yeah, for maybe two weeks."

It seems I was correct and he was not. Things returned back to the norm very quickly.

Oh well. Living in New York made it all worse for me. Seeing those lights pointing in the sky where the Trade Center once stood was creepy.

At least I moved out of NY and I am at "north of the border" of that state, anyway.
 
Likely the most patriotism I'll see in my lifetime following 9/11 for about a year. I remember flags were flying on cars, patriotic clothing, and unity from most everyone, right and left. It's a shame we couldn't have kept most of that. Of course, I'm a boomer that was in Vietnam so I've seen the mood swing back and forth and back again. I will always stand for the flag though.
 
How's the pilot going to get into the cockpit, through the window??? Aircraft manufacturer's aren't going to put a second door in the side of the plane for air crews, plus they still need to be able to get to the bathroom too. What they've done now is fine. We just need to eliminate evil people.
 
(quoted from post at 22:36:32 09/11/19) Commercial airplanes should have no doorway from the cockpit to the passenger compartment. It's just that simple....

That s not really feasible. The answer was to put the hardened doors in. Anybody trying to get through them would have to deal with passengers who aren t gonna sit still for that.

I don't know about you, but I get on here maybe once a day, or every 2 or 3 days. So don't take my lack of immediate response as indicating anything.

I tried to set the tone and leave the rest sort of ambiguous since we're not supposed to talk politics. Lets just say that as someone was was at the site in NYC from 9/12/01 on for months, I don't think we've improved as a nation.

Victor, Do you ever fly? From what I have seen while flying and have read and seen on TV the cockpit access situation was taken care of many years ago.
