Hey everyone. It has been a while since I have posted on here. I wanted to get some input from everyone. This may have already be on here, but I will throw it out there to talk about. I was wondering if any of you have thought about what MacGyver would have done on September 11 2001.

I know this event is still fresh in the minds for everyone and I mean no disrespect to anyone who may have had a personal connection to it. I have often thought about WWMD on that day. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that people needed there own hero that day to get them through it.

I am a big time history geek so every year since the first anniversary I have recorded every documentary that has come on TV. It is my own way to preserve a piece of history. I am all so going to make a tribute video about 9/11 too. I know a lot of people have done that but I want to bring a new perspective to everyone.

Anyway as far as Mac goes I have always though he would go back to the Phoenix Foundation and ask where he could be sent to do the most good to help his country.

So what does everyone think? wink.gif hmm.bmp

What would MacGyver have done? Well, he probably would have lost a close friend tongue.gif Seriously though, I think he would've gotten sent to Afghanistan- again tongue.gif Oh, I said I would be serious, right wink.gif. So honestly, I don't think Mac would've gotten directly involved. That was sort of his thing, playing a behind-the-scenes role rather than being just a pair of arms and legs at ground zero, wherever ground zero was in the show. Odds are he would have received a call that day though.

Probably standing with his cellphone looking stunned at the tv-sets with the towers burning.



I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.

I think his exact reaction would depend where he was at the time, but in general he would be looking to help as quick as he could.

If he was actually near or in NY I think he would have been in there boots and all helping people. If he was somewhere else I can fully see him being at the front of a Phoenix search and rescue team or if he still wasn't working with them I think he would have been phoning them to try and organize to help them.

That's what I was always thinking too. On September 11 he was in NY. That's on how I see it in a MacFic.
