Don't worry, I've acknowledged that in the TL.

Yes.

Also, at the same time, CNBC interrupts Squawk Box with Mark Haines with reports of the attack. CNBC's logo at the time, their coverage of the attacks at 8:51, and Mark Haines. At 8:51, Matt Lauer, co-host of Today, interrupts an interview with author Richard Hack and says "We wanna go live...

It is 8:46 AM. Flight 11 has just hit. The plane entered the tower intact, and hits the building's core, destroying all 3 gypsum staircases and trapping 1,334 people. A large shockwave goes into the ground, back up the tower, and down into the ground again. Elevator shafts sent burning jet...

UAL175 collides with another plane en route, 93 makes it to its target, and there's more deaths in the Pentagon.

And if anyone here wants to read it, it's in my signature.

I'll get to it in a few days. It involves the United flights.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! The TL is below: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-sky-turned-blood-red-9-11-tl.444345/

It was the 11th day of September, in the Year of Our Lord 2001, at 6 o'clock in the morning. 2 men, named Mohamed Atta and Abdulaziz al-Omari had just landed at Logan International Airport from Portland International Jetport in Portland, Maine, via Colgan Air (Owned under the US Airways Express...

Beats me. Nixon V. McGovern? Perhaps Humphrey?

Earlier or later? Earlier, 56, Later, 72.

This is based off of a TL I might do.

So, it'll be around... 2,475 at the least, 2,495 at the most, give or take a few hundred. (I added estimates including, 250 dead at the Pentagon, 100 dead in the Capitol, 20-50 killed on the ground in the collison, and 200 killed in the South Tower.)

I'm pretty sure that UAL93 makes it to its desired target since it was after news of the South Tower being hit that the passengers took over. Also, for the damage, I based it off of the damage seen at Charkhi Dadri in 1996, despite the fact that neither is a 747 or an IL-76. I also took the...

I have 2 questions for everyone. 1. Is the damage both planes would receive plausible? 2. Are the casualties plausible?

On September 11, 2001, UAL175 nearly collided with 3 planes on its way to the World Trade Center, AAL11, DAL2315, and MEP7. United 175 was a Boeing 767 that had 51 passengers, and 9 crew, not including the 5 hijackers aboard. Midex 7 was a McDonnell-Douglas DC-9 that had 30 passengers and 5...

Here's 2008. I think I might have overdid it a bit. (Perhaps it's just that the scenario likes to lean Conservative, and I gave this a modest percentage, around 40%. And even though they upped it by .7 percent, they managed to win every state but 1. But I gave the BQ a bonus there that raised...

Anyway, I finally got it to work: It went to the House, and Trump won. This was supposed to be the 2015 election, I just plugged in the percentages, and hoped that it would work. So, 2015 goes to the Conservatives, by an extremely close margin. I blame this on De La Fuente. Darn spoiler...
