Had the song It’s Raining Men stuck in my head. Got me thinking. Would my home owners insurance cover the damages to my house? And what about the clean up?

    I couldn’t imagine what it was like standing around the north tower on 9-11, around 200 people rained down that morning.

      Shit, I’ll never forget being at home watching the towers burn on TV as a kid and seeing things falling from them and asking my mom what they were and hearing “those are people jumping rather than burn to death”. Horrifying. What a choice to make.

        Nightmares won’t kill them, but the mesothelioma has. Over 400 first responders were affected by illnesses due to 9/11, over 340 have died as a result. Politicians have been trying to fuck over the survivors and they can’t wait for the last one to die so they won’t have to deal with John Stewart raining hate on their miserable lives.

        There are stories from survivors that mentions how they heard the bodies hit the ground without knowing what the noise was from. They looked around for the source and found out how grim a reality they were in.
