Chances for showers and a few thunderstorms tonight through Thu. night. Cloudy skies Mon. morning will begin to clear out warming into the low 80s to near 90. A cold front Mon. night will bring a cooldown to near 70 to 75 Tues. Highs remain mostly in the 70s Wed. and Thu. #NEwx

BERGEN REILLY IS UNREAL 🤯 #NCAAWVB x 🎥 B1G+ / @HuskerVB

Forever champions! 🏆 What a pleasure to have our 2006 National Championship team back in Lincoln! Once a Husker, always a Husker. #GBR

Future Huskers‼️❤️

20 years ago ABC broadcast a docudrama called The Path to 9/11 showing all the national security failures the 90s that led to the attacks The movie was banned due to political pressure from the Clintons Here is Part 1 in full:

A 15-year-old boy survived atop a fishing vessel after it capsized in frigid waters off the coast of Alaska, while his two crew members died, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. abcnews.link/pelYDyZ

Twenty-five years ago, National Guard Soldiers and Airmen from across the country proved that “Always Ready, Always There” is more than a motto as they answered the call to respond to the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks. We will never forget.

Following the September 11 attacks, Clear Channel released an internal document that included a list of 165 songs whose lyrics the company considered “questionable” for radio broadcast in the wake of the attacks.

That showed the how, this video gives the physics for why the twin towers collapsed. youtu.be/1NkBfLBov5Q?is…

I find these World Trade Center simulations by Kostack Studio fascinating because they remove the smoke and let you see the collapse much more clearly. In the real footage, so much is hidden by fire, dust, debris, distance, and chaos that many people come away with the impression that the towers simply dropped straight down into their own footprints. But that is not really what happened. These simulations make it much easier to see that the collapse begins in the heavily damaged and fire-weakened region, the upper section starts moving and tilting, and the destruction then propagates downward through the structure. The towers do not simply disappear vertically into their own footprints. Large portions of the upper structure and exterior are moving outward and to the side as the collapse develops. Much of that motion is simply obscured in the real videos once the enormous debris cloud forms. And this is also why I find these simulations useful when people describe the collapses as looking like “controlled demolition.” Strip away the smoke and dust and the resemblance becomes much less convincing. What you see is a highly asymmetric structural failure beginning around the aircraft-damaged and fire-affected floors, followed by an enormous moving mass progressively overwhelming the structure beneath it. There is tilting, rotation, exterior columns peeling away, debris being thrown far outside the building footprint, and structural failure occurring chaotically as the collapse moves downward. That is very different from the neat mental image usually implied by “controlled demolition,” where structural supports are deliberately severed in a carefully timed sequence to produce a predetermined collapse. And importantly, we already know what preceded these collapses. Both towers suffered massive aircraft-impact damage. Fireproofing was stripped from portions of the structure. Large, uncontrolled fires then burned across multiple floors - for about 56 minutes in the South Tower and about 102 minutes in the North Tower - heating and weakening structural components until collapse initiated. Once that upper mass began moving, the loads imposed on the floors and structure beneath became vastly greater than anything they had been designed to carry. The result was progressive collapse. No, an animation is not proof simply because it looks convincing, and these are not official NIST simulations. They are visualizations built under particular assumptions. But as visualizations, I think they are extremely useful. They let you see something the original footage often cannot show clearly: beneath that enormous cloud of smoke and debris was a complicated, violent, asymmetric structural failure - not two buildings neatly dropping straight down into their own footprints. A note on the simulation: this is not intended to reproduce the collapse down to the exact motion of every beam, floor panel, and fragment of debris. No practical simulation could do that. Its value is in modeling the large-scale structural behavior - how the major sections deform, move, tilt, separate, and progressively fail. Think of it as a visualization of the mechanics and overall collapse behavior, not a frame-by-frame reconstruction of where every piece of steel ultimately landed.

Sic'd 'em!

There is very little clear footage of flight 11 flying over manhattan and striking the north tower. Practically none exists in fact. But we have Jules Naudet’s footage, that not only captures this rare event, but actually follows firemen into those very towers that ultimately became perhaps the most famous unintended film and documentary ever created. Jules is tagging along with batallion chief Joseph pfeifer as they respond to a mundane gas leak call at church and lispenard. The firsr couple minutes is pretty boring, regular Tuesday morning work. Beautiful sunny day, twin towers in the background. Until 1 min 45 sec into the footage can you can an unusually low jetliner flying directly over manhattan. Everyone looks up in confusion, and what they see next changed America forever.

Cooler behind a cold front on Sat. with highs from 73 to 78. Chances for showers and thunderstorms north central and central Nebraska Sat. night. Chances continue Sun., with likely chances across north central Nebraska Sun. night. Cooler Tues. and Wed. in the 60s and 70s. #NEwx

The last receipt from the World Trade Center. Journalist Joanna Lipman buys a violin and a cell phone fridge magnet for her daughter from a store on the concourse nine minutes after the first plane was hit.
