PhilosFX 9/11 Compilation


nIIne

I launched PhilosFX in August, 2010. To date, there have been 15 posts with a 9/11 theme. As we prepare to mark the 11th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I wanted to present a compilation of these posts for your convenience.  The posts are in reverse chronological order for ease of historical review.

I invite you to take a moment, scan through the post list, and follow a few of the links.

But the events of 9/11 caused the transformation to happen on the fly, rather than in stages, so the transformation was more of an evolution. After 9/11 we also started wearing our combat uniform in the Pentagon in lieu of the ...

PhilosFX: Remember, reflect, renew: 9/11/2010
Sep 13, 2010
For me, 9/11 is still very much a day of solemn remembrance, reflection, and renewal. The time was 9:37 am, Tues, Sep 11th, 2001. In that split-second when the Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon, 184 innocent lives were lost.

On Sept 11th each year, the sun will align with the northern wall at 8:46, and with the southern wall at 10:28. This 102 minute gap represents the time when the first (North) tower was hit and when the last (North) tower collapsed.


PhilosFX: "24"
Apr 13, 2011
"24" was perfect for its time, the post-9/11 period from the fall of 2001 through the historic elections in 2008 and into the spring of 2010. Considering the real-world events of the day, the need for a counter terrorism unit like the ...


PhilosFX: New TSA Procedures
Nov 30, 2010
The relevant poll question is not whether one feels safer now compared to 10 years ago, before 9/11. How could anyone know? How could one measure the level of safety and security one feels (or inversely, the level of threat ...
