Roger and Lisa were running late. They were employed by Silverstein Properties at the time of the September 11 attacks, working in temporary offices in the North Tower. Sharon also played a role in the family business, with two of his three children serving as executives at the company. Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVKiu9Su6Ls

After almost 25 years now, there are more things we still can learn about that day. Silverstein had signed a 99-year lease for the World Trade Center complex just weeks before the attacks. Silverstein has stated that he typically attended meetings at the World Trade Center every morning. However, on 9/11, he did not go to the office due to a medical appointment. This detail has frequently resurfaced in documentaries, news reports, and online discussions as people revisit the events of that tragic day.

        I’ll help you out. The implication is that the only reason it would be significant that this was “the only day” he missed his routine is if he somehow knew about the attack in advance. Otherwise there would be no reason to post. It’s a thinly-veiled conspiracy theory.

        This is what “subtext” means. Someone in a different thread tried to equate subtext to strawmanning, but those are very different things, and it’s not far short of gaslighting to pretend the subtext doesn’t exist.

        I don’t claim to know one way or another why he skipped his routine or what he did or didn’t know. I’ve got no horse in this race. But I think it’s grown unnecessarily heated in this thread.

          I get what you are saying, now his adult kids didn’t show up for work either. They were reportedly late. Was there anything to that? Who knows.

            The only day he is recorded as skipping his routine morning breakfast at Windows on the World.

            Well dumbass? What do the words say? WHAT DO THEY FUCKING SAY RIGHT THERE?!

                Do you have mental illness or something? If I say I have cereal every morning before breakfast, I am making a general statement. I am not literally implying there are no mornings that I don’t have cereal. This is especially the case when I follow it up with statements like “I usually have cereal” WHICH IS WHAT HE DOES IN THE INTERVIEW YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON!

                  We have had a miscommunication here. The fact is that he and his kids missed work that day. My English not so good.

                Hey you see those words which, again, YOU typed? See the bold ones where you are DENYING that you made any claim other than he missed work?

                How are you this fucking stupid?
