No not really. I remember people dying while others lamented the loss of economic value. I didn't feel paranoid or scared I felt disappointed.

The vibe of the thing is exactly what I'm referring to. The vibes being somber seems a reality so far removed from what I've experienced and I want to understand why. From what I can gather from comments the reason seems to be that it was shown on tv. That tracks with modern disasters not gaining such notoriety because mainstream media won't show you the scattered remains of children who died in buildings brought down by American armaments.

Look, I lived through both 9/11 and the pandemic and other events besides. If you didn’t feel any weird vibes in the first weeks of March 2020, I’m guessing this is more of a You problem.

My point is that many people felt destabilized by the attack. Maybe you’re too galaxy brained for that, but maybe you can try being galaxy brained enough to understand how others felt.
