Wow. I can't believe I read that on FR. I really don't care what percentage of 9/11 families are stable or not stable.

A lot of the family members have proven to be jerks in the past dozen or so years. Like this group working with the ACLU against the death penalty:

Or, how about this group which speaks out AGAINST our "torture" of the poor terrorists?

link

How about the survivors (atheist group) who sued to try and stop having a cross installed at a 9-11 memorial?

link

How about this family member who is now dedicating her life to defending Muslims and fighting bad perceptions about Muslims?

Sorry, but the scenario the movie depicts isn't outlandish in one bit. Being related to a 9-11 victim didn't make everyone suddenly become pro-American or more sane than they were prior. In fact, that event seems to have given some of these people an excuse for their being and given them "purpose" in life.

I really didn't want to debate it, but you are so off-base it isn't even funny. 9/11 isn't ancient history. It's part of an ongoing war that we might yet lose. Certainly, there are 9/11 family members who are less than perfect. And I'm sure there are criminals among them.

But to make a 9/11 victim as a airplane terrorist is reprehensible. It is as reprehensible as making a movie in 1944 with USS Arizona survivors as evil agents of the Japanese.
