If you choose not to learn anything from what happened on 9/11, you should be ashamed. Listen and Learn to Turn a Tragedy into a Positive Thing. It is tragic what happened that day, but you can create something good from it. It will not remove the loss of lives, but can enrich yours. The death of the people will not have been in vain. Learning from your mistakes is smart. Learning from others is wise. You will learn just how evil people can be. You learn just how good people can be. You learn that risk goes up as population goes up. At the risk of being shunned and tin foil hatted, I may talk about some conspiracy theories. I WILL NOT GIVE MY PERSONAL OPINIONS ABOUT IT. I would be doing a disservice to those people that lost their lives. From Tragedy can Come Good, You Have to Make It Happen So what good are we going to bring from this? I will tell you what has come to me while I was thinking on this. If I was in the airplane, what could I have done? If I was in the building, what could I have done? If I was a responder to this, what would I have done? Build a massive self-defense arsenal that TSA won’t confiscate. You can’t have a weapon on a plane, but you can have a cane.

You can make millwall bricks out of a flight magazine and water can make it harder. You could use a heavy hairbrush like a Kubuton. Use a heavy closed lock with a bandana through the latch, or in the end of a sock. If you don’t fly, you won’t be in the plane. If you do fly, choose a smaller plane, if possible. Train for the Plane and Gain the ability to inflict Pain. If you have all the tools or self-defense devices and no training, you are no good! Be trained on hand-to-hand combat in close quarters. Be trained on using a cane and kubuton. Be willing to strike fast and with tenacity. It is better that I go, than I and everyone else go. Have escape routes planned and keep situational awareness. If on the plane, be aware of people that may be suspect. Forget Political correctness, watch WHOEVER you see as suspect. Don’t forget that ANYONE can be a culprit. In your buildings and offices, have an escape plan. We can’t plan for everything that happens, but we can plan for a lot of typical dangers. Have a way to get through fires and smoke. Have a respirator or EEBD at your desk. Keep fire resistant materials such as blankets at your desk. If you are low enough,
