Disclaimer: Maybe this shouldn't be posted under Current Events but Vanity, but I believe the event should remain current in our minds.
This thread hopefully doesn't offend victims of the cowardly terrorist attack (Not "tragedy", or "mishap") as the Big Media would like to spin it.
My request is simple.
I am starting a collection of photos, video captures, etc for a special project that I've been developing which I may title something like "America Will Never Forget".
Let me give you a little background about my personal development since joining FR (and lurking for at least a year before that).
My education beyond my little world has increased exponentially since becoming a member here and I will be eternally grateful.
Now comes the rough part. I am not a morbid individual, but I am trying to ferret out the 'bad', 'censored' and otherwise NON-Big Media accepted version of the images that Big Media has decided we need to see.
I've seen a few very gory distaster(or otherwise) situations in my lifeand I can see from the very beginning that Big Media is sanitizing the info we receive already regarding the 'tradgey' (effin euphemisms).
Bottom line. I want the gut-wrenching pics that some of you may have sources for that I can use. Not that seeing people fall to their death vs. getting incinerated by 2000deg flames wasn't enough.
I want the hardcore stuff.
The reason that I am passionate about this cause is it took me forty years to finally see some actual photos of naked jews getting gunned down in cold blood from behind and I have been educated very thoroughly about the holocaust since I was a child but still never experienced actual images until I came to ....you guessed it.... FreeRepublic.
I don't want history obscured like it was when I went to school.
FReepmail me with links or tell me to FOAD.
I've already got the crash video and photos, lots of the recovery images, but I think you know what I am looking for.
My heartfelt condolences go to the families who have directly been affected, the poor little innocent children who had to deal with by 'expressing themselves thru drawing' or some liberal BS 'counseling', and he heroic fire and rescue people involved in this TERRORIST ATTACK.
If the project comes to fruition, it will not be for personal gain.
The world should never forget this cowardly, pathetic attempt to frighten the greatest country in the history of the world into submission.
Let's Roll!
I won't give you my business account, but If you want to help either link images somewhere where I can get them thru FReepmail or send directly to JGRobertsBassist@hotmail.com.
Here it is. Enjoy.
Also, Here's the article that links to the photo, discussing the intentional media suppression of 9/11 photos.
Since a search reveals no hits on a thread called "You'll See This Once," I'll just have to ask here: L4T, did you ever get enough censored photos to put up your web site?
Anyway, I don't think supression is the right word. I think some people understand that it is not necessary to flaunt every grotesque detail in order to effectively present an account. Pandering to the base nature's appetite for the sinister is not what good journalism is made of. Just as 'brevity is the soul of wit,' what is unsaid and unshown is by no means silent.
Thanks for the image, I do find it important to remember the actual horrors of 9-11.
