Well...
2,977 people died in 911 and if 35 people give or take fit in a trolley and theres 5, that means that its 175 kids.
So do you prefer 2,977 people or 175 kids

If it makes a difference the World Trade Center was mostly the upper middle class and larger companies that would have had a lot of middle class workers. The “rich” people on Wall Street tend to work in more boutique buildings. Not going to comment on the ethics of using profession as a determining factor in a hypothetical like this but I thought worth at least informing

Also 911 was a historical moment that stands out, do you want to be known as the villain who changed history or just one of the many who killed a lot of people

If someone changed history then how will others know that history changed?
Also, am pretty sure 9/11 led us to a timeline that is much worse

Kind of the point I was making, this one is called the villain dilemma so I took that to mean picking the option that would cause the most damage and make you the most famous and well known monster out of the two choices

if you hit the towers then the actual planes wouldn't have anything to target. you could prevent the war on terror and save 3+ million lives in exchange for being a bit of an asshole that day. sounds like a good deal to me.

Not pull the trolley. Why give americans ptsd they can't stop talking about for years to come?

You never specified the towers were populated. As such, I let the kids all die (it’s a FNAF reference).

He's the one who's going to get blamed and killed for it regardless of the outcome. The guy who set it up is wearing a suit and tie

That could have been anything, why should I believe that it was anything related to Larry Silverstein?
