-- Some amusing news from John Gotti Jr's third trial-- he's been working on a children's book: "On one page, a cute tiger locked in a cage weeps at the site of a steaming cauldron that burns before him."
-- Here's a never-before-released video of the WTC attacks taken from a tower in Battery Park City North. But beware: it's very graphic.
-- Celebrities and fashionistas commemorated 9-11 the only way they know how: by throwing a noisy party and having their pictures taken.
-- You could celebrate 9-12 by crashing the Heatherette fashion show, thanks to Animal New York
-- Bagel Plus: where the plus stands for "free ass grabbing."
-- Procrastinating high school students rejoice: Harvard is going to eliminate their early admissions program, which will likely force many of the other top schools to do the same!
-- Speaking of colleges, according to the NYU paper, NYU has achieved "psuedo-ivy" status. Fresh, because we've been telling people we "pseudo-got-into" Harvard for years.

That picture is going to make someone a lot of money - spectacular!

 

The WTC video is NOT graphic. It is just someone going oh god oh god while a conventional view of the towers falling is shown. Occasionally you can see a pixel fall: maybe it's a body, maybe not. Nothing ew that wasnt shown on the news programs on the day.

 

I'm with #2. Not much new to see here. They miss most of the major timeline events - both impacts, collapse of tower 2. What creeped me out was near the end the woman's voice says very matter of factly, "There's no more World Trade Center."

And the woman also says the second plane was a military plane. That should give the conspiracy crowd fodder for another half decade.

 

"a cute tiger locked in a cage weeps at the site of a steaming cauldron that burns before him..."

Hmm. Lemme see how John would continue this:

"...Talk tiger now!, or I'll grab your baby sister and throw her in the boiling cauldron, then we'll whack your friend the monkey and send you his head in a basket".

Oh yeah, John's got a way with children I'm sure.

 

She's not the only one to proclaim 'that was a military plane'

 

i think columbia should be removed from the ivy league on the grounds of you and jen chung having graduated from there.

btw, good job STILL trying to be a righteous asshole towards people who decided to spend 9/11 differently than you did.

 

exquisite.

 

You guys do realize that the Ivy League is just an athletics conference, right?

 

I agree, the video is not graphic at all. Whoever said BEWARE has got to be kidding me...

 

Various classifications, mostly used in high school guidance offices, have classified NYU and other schools as "New Ivy" for years.

 

It would be graphic to you if you worked down there..your family was on their way to work in the subway..your neighbor was running down that same exact street for their lives with their baby in their arms..and witnessing people running for their lives where you walked every single day..

I guess you just don't give a crap.

 

We’ve put up a page to address frequently asked questions about the video:
