Eight years and one day since The Day The World Changed Forever™. It seems like a lifetime ago. Luckily we still have comedian David Cross to remind us of those bizarre days…
“I don’t think Osama bin Laden sent those planes to attack us because he hated our freedom. I think he did it because of our support for Israel, our ties with the Saudi family and our military bases in Saudi Arabia. You know why I think that? Because that’s what he fucking said! Are we a nation of 6-year-olds? Answer: yes.”
David Cross
And here is one of the weirdest things we remember from those strange days – America: A Tribute to Heroes where George Clooney (FTW?!?!?!?!?) wrangled America’s stars into fronting up to sing “America the Beautiful”. By the really nervous body language displayed by Al Pacino and Tom Cruise it seems likely that they did it at gun point. Or they were expecting a plane to land on the studio. After all, it was filmed on 21 September 2001…
