Fucked up how Abdul El-Sayed was flying one of the planes on that day and then leapt clear at the last second, falling onto a pre-placed inflatable stunt bag on a rooftop before making his escape using a hang glider, slipping away unseen in all the dust and smoke.

Or so he thought. CBS News witnessed it all, but waited until this day to... vaguely insinuate the truth.

That was fucking crazy. I remember being 9, watching this all unfold on TV in my History classroom, and my classmates pointing at the screen saying ‘No way! That’s Abdul Al-Sayyed somersaulting off a 767 !’ And now we’re making him a Federal Senator?
