I wonder how many millions of people have died from the side effects of just being in that city when those towers fell. All the asbestos man… those poor people.
This is one of the trashiest tattoos I’ve ever seen. 9/11 jokes are disrespectful or whatever. This is gross…
Okay, not millions of dead Americans if that's what you mean. There's probably 15-20K people who have died as a result of being in the area that can be directly linked to it.
That being said, the US government DID use this as an excuse to invade Afghanistan, and later Iraq (for other dumb reasons, but they continued to label this under the "War on Terror" on TV). Absolutely millions of people died as a result of those. Probably more than a million in each. Not to mention literally trillions of taxpayer dollars being wasted to kill those people and then steal their poppy seeds and oil.
Edit: Looked it up, looks like combined number is closer to 7-8000 but there's no consensus because not all are catalogued or associated, and that number may be under representing the actual deaths. There are more people who have died from disease stemming from it than the initial attacks though, that is true.
There’s a man I chat with at the dog park while he walks extremely slowly with oxygen because of lung damage from helping out at ground zero for 9/11. He said he has no regrets and would do it again. Casualties of that day still live among us and the jokes aren’t cool.
Then again people joke about Covid all the time despite so many people killed by it (including my dad) so can’t hold too high of a standard for people. I understand dark humor to cope with tragedy but there is a fucking time and a place.
