Geronimo : What if Osama Bin Laden was killed prior to 9/11?
- Thread starter Iwanh
- Start date
ILPD45
Kicked
Probably not - multipurpose baseball/football stadiums fell out of fashion in the 90’s.
I always wondered the viability of New York City hosting the Olympics. I was under the impression that the city is too cramped to have a big stadium for opening and closing ceremonies.
It would just be another day in American domestic politics.
So 7/7 is butterflied away for good?
New York totally could have hosted the games; Flushing was an excellent site for a stadium, and had the city actually put some ooomph into it a stadium district where Hudson Yards is today would have activated the West Side and possibly created an opening to relocate MSG and allow a proper train terminal be built at Penn instead. We could have had LIC and Hunters Point developed a decade ahead of schedule had the Olympic Village been sited there, and actual upgrades to regional transport with federal and Olympic money. NYC 2012 was definitely a missed opportunity
Could you write a chapter about Travel? Why I'm interested?
1 For my hopeless obsessed with Twin Tower
2 Wondering how's the world travel like after 9/4
3 Western tourists visit the Baghdad during 2000s without Iraq war ( This is my most wondering part, OTL a lot people still wanna visit North Korea, so why not Iraq under Saddam Hussein rule? )

Don’t see why 3 wouldn’t be a thing, my aunt lived in Baghdad in the 80s (!!) and said it was fine and actually quite nice. Granted she was a Swedish engineer of some means so her experience was almost certainly not universal but it wasn’t really until 1991 that Iraq’s economy completely went off the deep end
1. At some point (no promises when likely a long way away) I will create a chapter solely dedicated to the twin towers
2. I will address air travel
3. Iraq would definitely be a 'dark tourist' destination similar to North Korea, as a country with an active aerial American military presence in the no-fly zones, an increasingly deranged Saddam personality cult, and growing sectarian violence.
I'm not an expert on stadium politics, but I have a lot of time to prepare that chapter, so maybe.
What if John Edwards announced a alt nasa constellation program that is not cancelled in 2009 and we go to the moon by 2020 and mars by 2030
Would there be American films and video games based on the 9/4 attack in Russia?
It will probably be the subject to Jack Ryan technothrillers. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in TTL may be based on it.
