    “A whole generation could no longer sleep soundly at night, because of that image of the twin towers falling.” – pretty much every TV program on 9/11 ever made.

    Yeah, if you were a total idiot with no sense of reality. I was a kid at the time, and I knew perfectly well Al-Qaeda wasn’t going to fly a jet into my house. And my father pointed out (it lost him a lot of friends) that because of the US military, a whole lot of people in the world did have to worry about what some airplane would do to them while they were sleeping.
