Sir,
I agree with you and SGT H below. Too many people have just forgotten the atrocities of that day as well as others, whether foreign or domestic created. Unfortunately, many have swallowed the lies and purposeful distortions of what happened that day, even from those who WERE there and saw it with their own eyes.
The majority of these conspiracy theories were debunked in an article from Consumer Reports. They had many engineers, scientists, and relevant personnel look over the hard evidence and were able to debunk the myths. The funniest one is the lady (and others) who said that was the first time fire had ever melted steel. My jaw just dropped when I heard that and thought "Uhmm, how do you think steel gets created in the first place?"

Sir,
Unfortunately, there are people out there who forgot. Even worse, are those who believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy. I have shared my experience on that fateful day on another thread on RP. I have never forgotten. Here's my experience on that day:
I was working as a marine electronics technician down at the former MOTB
(Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne (NJ) installing a new dredge control
system on a barge. The former MOTB was about 4.5 miles from the Towers.
I remember the drive into work: it was a very beautiful morning; watching the sun rise up above the Twin Towers.
Around
8:50 that morning, I was told that one of the towers was on fire. When I
walked down onto the dock, I just couldn't believe my eyes.
Unfortunately the worse was yet to come.
Approximately 12
minutes, I saw a passenger airplane flying low and fast right above me. I
knew that was not good. somehow, I knew that it was the second plane,
but I didn't know where it was heading to until I saw the bright flash
when United flight 175 hit the South Tower. 20 seconds later was when I
heard the explosion.
You stand there helpless while both towers
are on fire. One could only feel for the lives that were lost at that
moment, still not knowing that more would perish.
Less than an
hour later was when I saw the first tower come down. It collapsed in
silence, but only to hear the sound of the collapsing tower about 20
seconds later. I could not comprehend what that sound was until I saw
the second tower collapse. It sounded like a runaway train erupting from
Hell.
After that second tower collapsed, I was in pure and
utter disbelief. After the Pentagon was hit, the barge crew members got
to their rental cars and just drove back home to be with their families
down South. I drove back to my place a couple of hours later, just in
complete shock.
Several weeks earlier, I had just signed up as a
volunteer firefighter. That afternoon on 9/11, I was sitting in the fire
house watching the news with the other volunteer fire fighters. Our
department was not called for the recovery efforts.
I will always remember 9/11. My heart still goes out to those innocent souls who had perished and to their families.
NEVER FORGET

Because of the time lapse. If there weren't one, there wouldn't be. Don't know why they wouldn't want to show what really happened.
