"The reason bin Laden staggered the planes going into the towers was so every camera would be focused on the second tower when the plane hit. It was not only the murder, but the perpetual image of the horror that permeated into people's consciousness"
- John Cusack
About this Quote
John Cusack's quote is referring to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the attacks, strategically prepared the timing of the planes striking the Twin Towers in order to maximize the impact of the attack. By staggering the planes, bin Laden guaranteed that the 2nd airplane striking the 2nd tower would be recorded on electronic camera and transmitted to the world. This image of the 2nd airplane striking the tower was scorched into the collective consciousness of the world, and it was this image that made the attack a lot more powerful and disastrous. The scary of the attack was not only in the murder of thousands of innocent individuals, but likewise in the image of the attack that was broadcasted worldwide.

"It's frightening how easy it is to commit murder in America. Just a drink too much. I can see myself doing it. In England, one feels all the social restraints holding one back. But here, anything can happen"
