“If the USA had completely ignored the 9/11 attack—just shrugged and rebuilt the building—it would have been better than the real course of history.”
The World Trade Center was comprised of several buildings—doesn’t everyone know that? The centerpiece was the twin towers, which is what the planes hit. The towers were each a city block square and over 100 stories tall. They were so huge and held so many people they had their own zip code. When they fell, the impact destroyed several other Trade Center buildings in the surrounding blocks, not to mention one of the region’s major transportation centers underground.
I wouldn’t even bother to reply, but A) your post is the number one item on Reddit and B) I was there that day. As far as I’m concerned, saying “just shrug and rebuild the building” shows a level of ignorance and immaturity that invalidates your entire post.
