Joe? Please clarify:
What exactly were the parts of the “actual” 9/11 ATTACKS that troubled you
most intensely?
For me, I would have said the most intensely troubling part was the sight
of the first and then the second passenger jets crashing into each of the
two towers, or, for me, the sight of so many people leaping from the
towers, flailing to their deaths, and (when watching the incredible
multi-episode documentary) hearing the repeated thuds of their bodies
hitting the roof of the lobby (and the sight of the grimaces on the faces
of the first responders as they also heard it). And then the sight each
time one, then the other tower collapsed.
So I was surprised with what you listed as what you think “troubled people
most intensely,” below:

Oh, but you meant the “actual” parts of the *conspiracy-contested* parts,
or the “questionable” parts of 9/11 events, right? Not the parts most
people agree were “actual.”
But of those parts/events that some people questioned back then, and
investigated and made reports on? Which of those parts would you now call
“actual?” Or “mysterious?” Or “explained?”

had a similar impact on many in the public as the video published by March
K in the novel, solidifying a profound mistrust of the media/government
narrative.
