It's customary to ping a FReeper when you mention them in a post.
Yes, her account is still active. She will always live on FR.
""In the week following 9-11 there was another fatal plane crash near NYC, the airliner from the Dominican Republic.""
wrong it was november 2001, not one week later
Yes, my friend.
But even so, a spit second of pain is better than several minutes of buring to death pain.
A few people temporarily survived the impact. I saw one heart wrenching story about a triage team member who came across a woman whose upper torso was protruding from a messy puddle of goo, she told him she was still alive and begged for help. He had to black tag her and move on.
"" remember the 9/11 documentary where the sound of thud after thud after thud was revealed to be the sound of bodies hitting a roof near ground level.
I have no way to describe how I felt when I realized what those sounds actually were.""
Those sounds sounded like the bodies were falling through glass.
I saw one picture of a person after they had hit the ground.
I think you are making that part up. Source please?
I prefer to watch this video when I think about terrorists:

(takes awhile to load, but it's worth it)
NEVER FORGET
If the Republicans were media savvy and fearless ( sigh.. ) they would use some of the footage from the tribute and run it as a commercial.
I would juxtapose the burning Towers and the faces of the murder victims ( used with permission ) with Russ Feingold and the Democrats demanding that President Bush be censured a/o impeached because he dared to wire tap Al Queda.
Dear God, how horrific for this family. Prayers for them.
Usually people die from the smoke inhalation before burning.

Since you seem so attentive to detail I am surprised to see that you didn't notice the quotation marks around that sentence in my post. Most of us here know that that indicates that it was lifted from the post to which the reply is being sent.
Aw give him a break, it's his third day here...
also the airliner wasnt from the DR, it was going there.
Damn their souls. I don't know whether there is a Hell but I hope there is and that they are there and suffering throughout eternity.
<< But as Gwendolyn says: "It's not about trying to find out who he is, but what his death says to all of us." And what it says is ... never again. >>
Says it all!
Before, he seemed kind of symbolic...like the Unknown Soldier.
I'm so sorry for his family.
One word added to yours, may their murderers come back in their next life as pig food.
I still ache over that photo and the day.

Council of Braga(not the Star Trek guy!), circa 563. Source: The Catholic Encyclopedia, as posted at newadvent.org.
In the council of 563 eight bishops took part, and twenty-two decrees were promulgated, among others the following: [...] that nothing should be sung in the church but the Psalms and parts of the Old and New Testament; that all priests who abstained from eating meat should be obliged to eat vegetables cooked in meat, to avoid all suspicion of the taint of Priscillianism, and that if they refused they should be excommunicated; that suicides and catechumens should not be buried with great ceremony, nor should anyone be buried inside the church[...]Recall early Christians who viewed the desire to live as a sign of being too tied to this world when we could be with Our Father (I've read that their carved initials of where they jumped from north African cliffs could still be seen in the 20th Century, but I am not sure that they've survived til now, what with all the religious conflicts there...). It wasn't until the writings of Augustine of Hippo (against his opponents in the Church) and the AD 563 Council of Braga that this was turned on its head, and suicide was reversed into a sin. But then, that made some of the saints sinners...so exceptions had to be added (and to be fair to Augustine, he recognized these problems and added some of the loopholes himself, such as for St. Pelagia of Antioch).
I don't mean to turn this into a religious thread; I was just commenting in response to an implication that it took the Pope's word to make jumping from a burning building not a sin, when it hadn't originally been one in the first place.
They don't have to, they were pigs in THIS lifetime. As a matter of fact, there was PIG roast in hell on 9-11.
