A day long remembered.
Any comments that are jokes or disgraceful statements about the 9/11 attacks will result in a immediate and permanent block.
In 2018, it feels like terrorist attacks take place every month. But none come close to the mark that September 11th’s events have had on the world. In fact, 9/11 is a date that can mean no other thing. Even if it’s your birthday, the attacks will pop up in your mind before that. No one thought anything would go on that day. It was a normal weekday. But by 11AM, there was no hope of a normal day. The story that sticks with me the most is the one that a friend of mine had. A lifetime New Yorker, he had a clear view of the towers when the events started to unfold. He heard the second plane zoom over his head. He smelled the dense smoke that settled on the city. And through his binoculars he saw what he thought were falling debris. They were people; jumping off the doomed building.
Never forget.

Say what? An update?
Well whaddayaknow? HellFireKoder updated the multiplayer mod. There’s nothing huge in the update; just small patches and tweaks. Nonetheless, it’s nice to know that Koder is still working on the mod despite his new responsibilities as a game developer.

Hi, Himynameiswalrus:
Himynameiswalrus is back after nearly a year of inactivity. Despite saying he was bored with SimplePlanes, he now has renewed interest in building and will upload his new creations whenever they come out. Welcome back Walrus!
SimpleRockets:
Ion engines were shown off last week and boy are they slow! But the good news is that even though you’ll be moving like a herd of turtles, your gas mileage is awesome.

Although they’re somewhat mysterious, skullshredder has made some nice looking builds. I hope to see him really step up and make something awesome.
That’s all for this week’s news. Have a safe and enjoyable rest of your day/night.

Bah
@tsampoy
@Awsomur more sr2 stuff.
Yeah. I was busy and it didn’t seem like there was any big news.
@tsampoy
Wawawawawait, 11 days ago? Oh no.
Oh ok. @Awsomur
No
@Caveman999
Did you make a SPW this week? @Awsomur
Sure does.
@InternationalAircraftCompany
I feel like it wasn’t that long ago that you were gold. Time sure does fly.
:) you’re right, I have a hard time doing that sometimes @Awsomur
boom
@Chancey21
Ok that’s true but you featured the 200 upvote “highest education” so I thought maybe my highest rated and most successful project would be “mentionable” @Awsomur
If you've already been featured, upvoted and spotlighted several times, there's no point in me mentioning you.
@Chancey21
first on the front page for 48 hrs and 90 upvotes and doesn’t get mentioned
OOF
@Awsomur will you still add that interview thing in some SPW?
I almost cried..... @ACEPILOT109
We were watching a video about the plane that crash-landed in that field. The camera zoomed in on a vaguely plane-shaped burned spot in the ground, then this one kid said “Did anyone survive?” Everybody was like -_- at him and I explained that you can’t survive when a plane plows upside-down into the ground at 550 mph. It was kinda funny actually.
please don’t block me for this ^^^^

@AdlerSteiner

Spooderman spooked me. But anyways keep up the greatest news
Report!
You see stuff like it in movies, but when you see the footage, knowing it’s real: it makes your heart sink.
@CRJ900Pilot
Didn’t see it, sorry.
@jamesPLANESii
We want memes! We want memes!
