They need to show the footage of the plan slamming into the south tower, then both towers streaming smoke into the air while people jump to their deaths, at every station identification. Shalom.

Amen. They can't show it enough, imho. I'm surprised the people I know who now, if not before, think it wasn't terrorism by others. Recently, I had an opportunity to visit Ground Zero. I've never seen in person the Towers while they stood. Around that same time, Charlie Sheen was quoted as supporting a 'we did it to ourselves' theory. I was, and am, aghast. And then the 911 phone calls were released. And still people prefer to believe that it was some government thing.

It's frightening how far some people will go to shove their heads deeply into the sand to avoid the truth and deny that terrorists wish us harm.

If you want to look for conspiracies, ask yourself why all major Media outlets are in lockstep with respect to the non-airing of the pictures & video of the aircraft striking the second tower? Then ask yourself why the feds keep using euphamisms like "War on Terror" when describing the current conflict? It seems like this entire 'War' is being stage-managed to keep the public from.... getting angry at the enemy.

While I agree that people do need to see those images more, the level of frequency you two are advocating ends up desensitizing people to the events, and ultimately trivializes the atrocity.

The events of that day were cinematic - indeed, to a large extent they didn't look 'real' as they looked like scenes from a disaster movie.

I honestly don't know what kind of bizarre bloodlust showing the events at every station identification will satisfy. I think you two believe it will make people take the war on Islamic Fascism more seriously. In fact, I think the frequency of broadcast you folks advocate would ultimately make people take the events less seriously.
