A jumbo jet buried itself into the ground...
...another turned to vapor...
...and a steel framed building suffered a cataclysmic office fire on a few floors.
Prepare for todays dry hump as the NFL opens the season.

15 years ago, people with terrible critical thinking skills doubled down and showed how misinformed they were when it came to science, mathematics, and knowledge of how buildings are constructed. They continually spewed their animated gifs, moronic youtube vids, and hyperbolic posts for a decade until, eventually, their opinions became as inconsequential as they were when it first started.
It's an inspiring tale of how critical reasoning and real knowledge/experience battled an army of blog and YouTube educated masses and won.
Never Forget.
