her last, cutoff words have been haunting me for at least an hour. and here I was thinking I was desensitized for years.
A video of a plane is somewhat abstract. We know what it means consciously, but there's nothing deep-rooted in our psyches from tens of thousands of years of evolution telling us what it means and speaking directly to the deep, lizard part of the brain. So it's easier to feel desensitized to, especially if you were a kid in the early 2000s.
A human voice hits different. We know what it means. The emotional register hits our lizard brains even if it's in a language we don't understand. There's nothing abstract about it, so it has a much stronger affect.

I didn't know it existed. Now you have basically forced my hand, I've got to listen to it now. I am morbidly curious

Oi, you can't park that there mate
and everyone was wondering how the jet on 9/11 disappeared into the ground
Like those morons who thought the Pentagon didn't get hit because there wasn't an airplane shaped hole in building like some kind of looney-tunes gag?

Explain to me how that plane was traveling at Mach 39.1 ?
travelling on an asteroid probably.
It wasn’t. IIRC, it was descending at 30,000 feet per minute at its peak and was maybe coming close to Mach 1 at impact.
I also understand there’s some deeply NSFL audio floating around, but I haven’t listened and don’t intend to.
The audio is a bit rough, especially if you haven't heard any emergency calls or ATC traffic before but not really any more distressing than watching a loaded plane slam into the ground. Which doesn't even have a NSFW tag
I listened to the audio. Always heartbreaking to hear people's distressing last words as they realize they are about to die.
For me it was the helplessness she was in. There was nothing anyone could have done at the time. The ATC operator was trying to see what could be given to them but they where out of options.

I heard a professional in an impossible situation doing everything in their power to keep it together.
It's heartbreaking and powerful.
People are saying the equipment only registers a maximum of 32,000 feet per minute, but the aircraft was probably traveling closer to 60,000 feet per minute on impact, at basically terminal velocity for that aircraft.
I don't know anything though, just parroting comments from YouTube.

Well, I can say that watching 9/11 live on TV desensitized me to this.
Ill be honest though, that is not the angle I would have expected the plane to crash at.
This video is oddly less graphic. It's so fast and absurd that the horror doesn't really come with it.
It looks like missile footage, except with a slow explosive with fire rather than a fast explosive with shockwave.
This particular video looks like it destroys the white car, but other angles of the aftermath show that the white car was a bit behind the explosion and that driver was OK but understandably shaken up.

NGL. I've seen other ways to die. Instant obliteration isn't a bad way to go. Beats drowning by a long shot.
Idk. The pilot sounded like she knew and I can't get that out of my head. Adrenaline kicking in, slowing everything down, but knowing she had no more control and there was only one outcome.
there’s plenty of violent deaths that take a while
the two dudes in ukraine fighting over a knife comes to mind
this is for sure sad but short of dying in your sleep this isnt too bad a death
hell id take this over cancer, stroke or a heart attack

This is why I like that we can edit titles.
1100 fps is about Mach 1 at sea level. There was no sonic boom.
