do you remember where you were and what you felt and said when you first saw images of the 9/11 attack?

where I was, yes, not what was said or felt, no:
My 9/11 event exposure memory was in a hotel in Los Angeles, I was with co-workers at a computer conference, I could not tell you exactly which coworker was near me. I do remember an ocean of uncertain human movement and several TV screens glowing, everything else is reconstruction.

Other parts of the story were more memorable, such as moments with nothing to do, then later while driving north to Canada while the planes were still grounded, visiting my daughter in Vancouver, but no recollection of flying home after that (which I know occurred). I have better recollection of my wife's experience of watching the event live on television (this is totally reconstruction).

I do. I was in a kind of shack near a beach in Devon, England. VERY incongruous because of the setting, quiet, beautiful surroundings,  whilst watching the stuff happening on the evening news after a day out on holiday.

I said 'WO. Come and look at this! Is it a film excerpt?!' Soon I realized it was 'real'.

I remember feeling a strange nauseous sensation in my guts when I saw one of the planes seem to be absorbed into side of the tower. Like seeing something weird.

I also remember the afternoon, and what I was doing which would have been roundabout the time of the actual happening, because we are 5 hours ahead of New York, Though at that time I was not aware of it. I only became aware of it in the evening when it was going dark.

I am suspicious of what this 9/11 reference means.

You are probably trying to indicate that your memory is as good as vhs or betamax, and not reconstructive; but I worry that you might claim that my guess as to why you shifted to the topic of 9/11 is an incursion into the sanctity of your inner mind that I cannot presume to know; also I wonder why did you start writing about 9/11 if not to obliquely refute my statement that all memory is reconstructive (i.e subject to the flaw of incompleteness and therefore error, and susceptible to suggestion and coercive media influence).

... and the perpetual stuck record of "the ruling elite"...

as William S. Burroughs said: ..."immortality - what for? ... to shit forever?"

as anyone could point out , following, Bill's lead, 'Want to remember,  every ,moment of the shitting process, times a million, a trillion etc... ?

yeah my shit is special ...

right ... sure buddy ...
