I can understand if you weren't much affected by 9/11, be it you're living abroad or what have you. Even my own, genuine sympathy can only go so far; I can relate to you. But it really does disturb me when you can just blatantly make an insensitive remark about it like that, knowing that people were hurt by it.

I would never make that remark personally...
But I can understand where Aniki is coming from. I mean just watch the latest action movies with big explosions.. Bruce Willis downing a chopper with a car etc.
I dont think he was thinking "wow.. cool lots of people died!" I think he was thinking "wow.. cool! A plane just flew into a building at full speed and exploded"
People like Aniki (and I suppose me to an extent, and anyone else who consumes such media) are conditioned to think that with all the action movies and video games that exist today.
