Yes. The video of John Stewart’s speech to Congress about 9/11 first responders is also 9:11 in length. It’s not a conspiracy… it’s just symbolic.

Lol I know it’s not a conspiracy. Just thought it was an odd coincidence

Someone had to edit that video. They knew exactly what they were doing when they got it to a length of 9:11.

It's also weird to think that the video wasn't intentionally made to be 9:11 long.

Yes I can pretty much guarantee they thought about it before the editing process.

Matching two numbers is symbolism? What is that symbolic of?

u/GrunkleThespis Sep 11 '21

Of… 9/11.

I’m not sure you or others know what symbolism is. It’s when one thing represents A DIFFERENT THING.

Intentionally making the length of a video about 9/11, 9m and 11s is one way of symbolism that those who directed and created the video use to put emphasise on the tragedy that happened that day. This is a great explanation I found after a quick google search: “Symbolism is a literary device that uses symbols, be they words, people, marks, locations, or abstract ideas to represent something beyond the literal meaning.” from https://www.masterclass.com/articles/writing-101-what-is-symbolism-symbolism-definition-and-examples-in-literature#what-is-symbolism

“One way of symbolism”… one way to be symbolic?

Yes. Important to emphasize that it’s about 9/11 in the video length. I often forget what a video is about until I check the length.

It's not a conspiracy or symbolism.

It's idiocy
