Maybe my searching skills just suck but how come I can’t find any threads about the 9/11 incident on the SDMB that were started on or just after 9/11/01?
I searched for threads from “a year ago” and “older” with key words like “trade + tower”,“tower + plane”,“trade + center” and came up with nothing.
The closest thread was from May 2002.
I can’t believe no one was doping on this subject when it happened?
So where are the September 2001 threads?
(crap!) Mods, can you retitle this “Where are the 9/11 threads from 9/2001?”
Man, that sucks. I would have loved to read people’s reactions the day of or the day after and all the speculation of what happened or what was going on.
It’s a pity. I did read a thread that was “live”, so to speak - Dopers posting as information became available. It made me cry a little, and also made me wish I had the Dope back then.
I have this one bookmarked.
I think that’s the one I remember.
How naïve we were back then.
Not to say that anyone could have known beforehand that Bin Laden was Determined To Strike in US.
Fixed title.
Moved from IMHO to ATMB.
Yep, I have that one too. It’s chilling to read it…it brings back all the emotions.
Is it possible for that thread not to be archived? It’s very interesting for historical reasons, and it would be a shame to lose it.

You did it the hard way.
From ATMB, July 2004: 9/11 threads, where, pray-tell, are they?
Jesus, I can’t even read that thread without crying and remembering how bewildering that whole morning was. That thread is a perfect illustration of the jumbled reports and reactions of that day.
There is also this GQ thread: Impossible for every plane to land? posted one week before 9/11.
Wow. Reading that thread (even though I wasn’t around then) brings back memories. I was in high school then and just…wow. I remember that whole day, nothing was accomplished, we did no schoolwork, we just watched the news all day, scared shitless and feeling like crap because we were happy we were so far away from it.

Where are the snows of yesteryear?
I’ve never seen that thread before. I always thought one of the most amazing things about 9/11 is how the planes were grounded so quickly.
It is still heartwarming to see the thread about NYC Dopers checking in, and how worried y’all were about us. Thanks!
There’s also a special issue of Teemings–In The Wake of the Fire
