Didn't we have this same @#$@#% argument the first time this aired? I think the controversy the last time around was about the sounds of the bodies of the jumpers hitting the ground and the tops of the building when the fireman gathered in the lobby. This documentary makes it obvious that a hell of a lot more than a handful of people jumped from those buildings.

Yeah, and I remember that horrid sound.
But I think there was also an uproar about the language then as well.

The movie was broadcast right when the French were leaving us out to dry and people weren't inclined to give these two the benefit of the doubt.
But I remember -- it was near the end, when the French brother who got the footage reappeared at the firehouse. His brother had thought he was dead and rushed over to him, but he walked right past and into the arms of a fireman. That brother and the fireman held each other and both sobbed.
