The Wanderer
When the World Trade Towers fell, I was struck by how much they looked like models.

Oh, 9-11 was something out of a Hollywood movie anyway. Who would get the idea to crash two airliners into an iconic skyscraper in the middle of downtown NYC?!

All night at the computer, cuz people ain't that great. I keep to myself so I won't be on The First 48
It isn't. Just like getting sucked out of an airplane in flight has actually happened to some people.

The Twin Towers falling kinda reminded me of Ganon's Castle at the end of OoT.

"Fun" fact: there was a Fox (of course Fox) drama planned to debut in December 2001 about a terrorist attack involving the hijacking of planes to demolish the world trade towers. It will never see the light of day.

Yeah, when I saw footage of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center towers, I thought it seemed unreal. I mean, some folks have said that it was like something out of a Video Game. I don't blame them for thinking that, considering that the idea of planes crashing into building sounded so fictional...until September 11, 2001. It was also on a Tuesday, which I'm sure led to jokes about Osama Bin Laden saying that for him...it was Tuesday. 
Then there are some cases of people saying that something looks like poor computer graphics...when they were looking at something that actually did happen! 
I think a big part of that thinking was that we were all seeing a real global monument collapsing, in real life. Normally, that's just something you would expect to see in some alien invasion movie. The surreal horror of it just did not immediately click.

Something that I didn't know about Simo Hayha.
He once killed 8 Russian soldiers with one shot.
Holy fucking shit, can you even do that in any multiplayer game?!

It's surprising how cartoonish people can get.
Admittedly, if this was a cartoon, there would have been no net.

Being a theater kid, I've seen quite a bit of Spontaneous Choreography, the most memorable being when several of us utilized the set of our current play to pull off a fairly epic "Bohemian Rhapsody" routine.

What RIU incident really struck me the most?
The Byford Dolphin Diving Bell Accident
did it for me. Watch out, Tropers who are unfamiliar with it. The RIU moment is Explosive Decompression and thus a metric ton of nightmare fuel. Up until this point, I thought that explosive decompression to this degree was just a myth. Guess it still mostly is, but still...
