Current Events > Scenario: You are transported to September 9th, 2001. What do you do?

(+) Yeah! (+)

You're walking home one day when suddenly you feel woozy, cold and fall over.

However instead of landing on sidewalk you notice that you have landed on an indoor mopped floor and that you're now wearing nothing but your underpants while Destiny's Child's "Survivor" is blaring on the radio.

You realize you have somehow traveled back to September 9th 2001 and are lying on the floor of a Burger King in Phoenix with nothing to your name.

All the customers are staring at you before the manager, a big British black man called Wesley comes over saying you're making a scene and need to leave.



What do you do?

Order some food. Time Travel makes me hungry.

Anything short of a very detailed bomb threat wouldnt stop 9/11 so I just bet on sports

With the money you keep in your underpants?

Invest in Apple.

Set off a makeshift smoke bomb at wtc to get the area evacuated and then give info when i am being interrogated

I don't think I could stop 9/11 from happening tbh.

Like maybe if you transported me to 1999 or a few years before I might have a chance but like what am I supposed to tell the police?

Man ive missed wesley

We all keep a 20 in our butt cracks. Well, normal people at least.

Get all air traffic grounded in the US, buy some stock in Google, Apple and remember how much money I'll make off BitCoin. Also, I'd let Micheal Jackson, Bernie Mac and Prince know about the health risks that killed them. Might even think of keeping OJ out of prison and tell Rodney King not to swim in his swimming pool.

I'd also like to sabotage the Red Sox winning any World Series during my lifetime. I was hoping to live an entire life without ever seeing them win one.

Try not to fuck with the timeline too much and get filthy rich off investments

Depends. Am I stuck there in 2001 and have to continue. from that point? Or after 911 am i transported back?

I didn't memorize all the details of the 9/11 hijackings, so I wouldn't be able to do anything to stop it. I guess I would:

*Get a job writing Java applications
*Learn C++ on my own time
*Quit my job when I have enough money to live in Idaho for a few years on a shoestring budget
*Develop Minecraft (in C++, and with a good modding API from the start)
*Sell Minecraft for at least 250 million dollars (the market for playing Minecraft was smaller back then)
*Invest millions of dollars in to Bitcoin as soon as I can
*Move to Seattle
*Have fursuit sex parties every day in my new mansion.
*Sell Bitcoin in late 2017 when it's guaranteed to give me a massive return

I get in contact with CjayC and convince him that selling gamefaqs to CNET is a mistake.

creepy

Starve to death I guess.

Underpants only in Phoenix? I'm never getting home. 9/11's the least of my concerns in that situation.
---

This hypothetical could have worked if we had any money whatsoever, but most of us are just dying in Phoenix. Or somewhere else in Arizona.

Buy popcorn.

That's just a fucking joke so relax.

if the manager is telling a sick person who just fainted they are making a scene....he sounds like an asshole. your supposed to check if they are ok and ask if they need an ambulance, not kick them out.

Become a Youtuber and invest in Bitcoin.

They'd just come back another day and do it, but you could convince Wesley to help you take out the hi-jackers during the delay.
---

I dont remember enough of the details to prevent 9/11, except that the first plane hit the tower around 8:46.
So I would call in a bomb threat around one hour before, claiming to have multiple bombs in both towers that will blow up in one hour.
That will at least save some lifes. Trying to shut down the airports will just make them repeat it another day, one that got more people in the towers.

Assassinate Bush to stop terrorism.

Oh bullshit.

In America no one is going to starve to death because they are naked and confused.

Go to any police station, hospital, charity or social worker and you won't die

Change nothing, beg for money as I make my way towards Vegas. Make a small fortune slowly betting on sports I can remember (mostly futures, big odds). Once I get a few million I get in shorting the real estate market. I retire and bang sluts and drink good bourbon.

I buy 2 N-Gages instead of 1.

Since I would be a foreigner without documentation my only choice is to somehow make my way to Canada without anyone noticing.

See if a nice person can loan me some clothes and try to inform the authorities I "over-heard" some people conspiring for a terrorist attack.

I'd look like a crazy lunatic, but like hell if I wouldn't try at least.

Call in a detailed bomb threat for both towers at eight thirty.

This is a good question. Also, where's my 2001 self? It would be different if we just ended up in our previous body, instead of being a doppelganger.

Especially when this is a factor.

Well, I guess I can kill some bum and get a life sentence, either in prison or the insanity ward. The judicial system will feed me then. Would rather starve to death than kill someone though.
