If you’re of a certain age, you’d STILL have to save the world.

Imagine you go back in time, to the year your born. You can’t even speak yet, but you know 9/11 is coming.

If you try to warn others, they won’t believe you. But after it happens, they’d blame you. You’re the guy who knew 4 planes would be hijacked on one random tuesday.

Because thats what 9/11 was before the planes hit. Just another random tuesday. Very calm. Nice pleasant weather. If you watch what the today show host says at 8am, he says “It’s Tuesday morning, the sun is shining, and it’s a nice quiet morning. Maybe a bit too quiet.”

Oh believe me. That’s about to dramatically change!

But how would you know that on Sept 9th 2001?

So now you have a choice. Let thousands die on the day, and hundreds of thousands develop conditions related to the attacks. Ranging anywhere from mild, to lethal. Everything from a persistant cough, to aggressive cancer.

But in choosing to save them, you most certainly go to max security federal prison.

Or, you can pretend to be shocked when 9/11 happens. Knowing you let hundreds of thousands suffer.

Your choice.
