    I'm in Texas and I was shocked my own kids were not taught anything much about 9/11 in their US History classes. I had them watch a few documentaries and news coverage from that day and they asked me questions and that's how they learned what happened. They did not know planes flew into buildings for example. My kids were in middle school at the time.

    I'm just barely old enough to remember 9/11 (I was 9yo), but the only teaching of that day in my high school history class was a page or two in the history book. It wasn't actually diacussed in class. Then again, it was just 10 years after the attacks, so it may have been a bit too soon for some people, especially teachers, but 20 years later I think definitely should be in the curriculum.

    What's that old saying. we won the battle by finding most of the people responsible for 9/11 and killing them. but we lost the war, in this case, Wars.

    I attended one of Richard Gage's dog and pony shows in May of 2008 at Chicago Circle Campus. I got in line to question him after the show about the distribution of steel down the North Tower. He looked at me like I had grown a 2nd head.
    The cores of the towers were 85 by 135 feet containing 47 columns. The columns were braced by horizontal beams. Since most levels were 12 feet in height that would be 564 feet of vertical steel. I have never seen a layout of the horizontal steel so this is an estimate: 6 times 135 plus 8 times 85 or about 1490 ft of horizontal steel on each level in the core. So with about 2 1/2 times as much horizontal steel as vertical that would have been significant mass to move and act as a thermal heatsink to slow down temperature rise. So how thick was that horizontal steel and did it vary down the tower? How many tons of steel were in each level of the core?
    How much in the perimeter?
    Why have two decades gone by without "experts" discussing and demanding accurate data on the steel distribution? With lots of skyscrapers all over the world why should this be difficult to resolve?

    I was 9 years old when this happened. It's good that these kids are being taught 9/11 because it's important. They need to be taught. Even know they will never experience what we experience as kids when it happened And I'll never forget how scary it was that day and how scared I was the days after 9/11. I find it really ridiculous that only 14 states off The 50 states allow 9/11 to be taught when it should be taught in every single state. Because it was a historical event that happened, and that it should never be forgotten.

      Because there's a lot of important things that need to be taught - adding a new thing means something else that's on the curriculum needs to be removed.
      Also, a lot of people aren't ready to actually face that it wasn't a black and white event that came from nowhere - it was a reaction to things the USA had done in other countries.

    Why is the Eiffel Tower shaped the way it is?
    Each lower portion must support all weight above. So 10,000 tons of wrought iron got that shape though it did not have to support thousands of tons of concrete.
    So how was the 100,000 tons of steel distributed down the North Tower which was 37% taller than the Eiffel? How can a straight down collapse in less than 30 seconds be explained without that data? The NCSTAR1 report by the NIST does not even specify the total amount of concrete in the towers.
    It is certainly curious that we do not have physical or virtual models of the North Tower collapse after 21 years. It only took 4 months to build a physical model of the Tacoma Narrows bridge in a wind tunnel to study the oscillations in 1940. They didn't have electronic computers to slow them down.
