America’s Three Worst Days

September 11 attacks deaths: 2,996 2021 United States Capitol attack Deaths 5 John C. Liu @LiuNewYork Seeing the Twin Towers crumble is no longer the most frightening moment of my life.

The video cuts from Kamala Harris speaking at a podium to statistics and archival footage of the September 11 attacks, then compares them with the January 6 Capitol attack, shown with a death count of five. The dark joke treats the Capitol riot as more frightening than the destruction of the Twin Towers, while 50 Cent’s aggressive hip-hop track “What Up Gangsta” makes the montage feel deliberately absurd and provocative. It is used as a reaction to political outrage, historical revisionism, or someone dramatically ranking catastrophes.
