quote:

Barbara Kay Olson (née Bracher; December 27, 1955 – September 11, 2001) was an American lawyer and conservative television commentator who worked for CNN, Fox News Channel, and several other outlets.[1] She was a passenger on American Airlines Flight 77 en route to a taping of Bill Maher's television show Politically Incorrect when it was flown into the Pentagon in the September 11 attacks. Her original plan had been to fly to California on September 10, but she delayed her departure until the next morning so that she could wake up with her husband on his birthday, September 11.

...

Bill Maher, host of Politically Incorrect, left a panel chair empty for a week in her memory.

Just remembered how actor Stephen Rannazzisi completely destroyed his career by repeatedly lying about narrowly escaping the WTC on 9/11.

I think Seth MacFarlane actually did narrowly escape it. As in was supposed to be on one of the planes. (Don't anyone make jokes about how it would have at least ended one atrocity, I actually like family guy and American dad)

and making those kinds of jokes just dishonor the sacrifice that he had to make. When they decided that his talents were too valuable, even after all that flight time that they gave him, it almost destroyed him

barbara olson did the opposite

Her original plan had been to fly to California on September 10, but she waited until the next day so that she could wake up with her husband on his birthday, September 11.[2]

also he was famously opposed to the death penalty and was once asked, by a moderator, in the middle of an official televised presidential debate, if he would still be opposed to the death penalty if his own wife was raped and murdered

he gave an answer that made him look and sound like an emotionless robot, and subsequently lost the election

my mom got transferred to a different flight to LA at the last minute, it took off at roughly the same time

her plane was grounded in Ohio or someplace like that and everyone was checked, presumably to see if there was another group of terrorists on board who were to chickenshit to carry out their attack

I didn't know for a few hours if hers was one of the kamikaze planes

well, if you are against the death penalty sometimes assholes are going to shove histrionic hypothetical scenarios down your throat. this has always been the primary defense for the death penalty. he's still kind of a creepy robot man, though.

funny medical poo poo i just remembered: if you drink a shitload of rubbing alcohol, the cure is regular ethyl alcohol. they'll prescribe you vodka if you drink methyl alcohol and wind up at the hospital. warning: just go buy bottom-shelf vodka if you need to quell the shakes. you won't have a good time getting "cured" at the ER and you'll likely wake up with a tube in your dick

I’m imagining an Air Marshal walking down the aisle demanding to know if there are any terrorists on the plane too chickenshit to hijack it and if any terrorists raise their hands he makes them go up to the cockpit and finish the job they started.
