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.
Are you having fun with this?
NASCAR is auto racing's equivalent to WWF. Toilet bowl racing. I like beer just fine thanks. I'll have to borrow some of your hardcore since I don't need it for my jollies, I can get the 'real thing' just fine thanks.
Whatever 'blows your dress up'. If it is relevant, send it.
This is the last time I'm going to reply to your comments.
Maybe you should change your screen name to something like Threadkiller's since that seems like your intent.
Buh-bye.
That's all I'm about, but some on this thread want to paint me as some morbid freak. I can't even look at most of those images without crying. My intention is not to shove this stuff in everyone's face, but it needs to be recorded somewhere so it doesn't get 'sanitized'. Thanks.
I remember that video of the person on a top floor waving a jacket, signaling for help.
It's possible that not everyone on the floors that the planes hit was immediately killed. There were internal partitions on the floors, right? So, someone on a farside of the building from where the plane impacted might not have been engulfed in the fireball, but would have had to face advancing flames and smoke.
The fire also worked its way upward. So, the choice the trapped people had was the worst possible one: Stay and die from the fire and smoke, or jump and die from the fall.
We do need to see the graphic pictures, and not let this be a "sanitized" event like so much of history has been "sanitized for our protection." Not that we need to be ghoulish about it, either, but much of the true horror of that day has been smoothed over. And sadly, much of the raw video that went out live is now gone or no longer available.
I should have fired up my VCR when this happened, but didn't think to do that until hours later. Like many, I sat before the TV, transfixed in horror at what I did see.
When I worked for EMS, there were a group of guys that would drive around listening to scanners. They would show up at bad wrecks and take pictures. I remember them being elated because there was a woman's breast lying on the road. I'm sure they justified the behavior somehow but I don't know how.
I don't need a picture of naked women to convince me the Holocaust was bad.
these are the univision clips
I agree that their motivation is the worst possible.
To keep the level of American outrage as low as possible.
For what specific purpose I haven't guessed.
However, they feel free to let me see similar photos of Dead Afghan "babies"...
Incensed does not begin to describe it!
Where do we see the vast amount of gore? The entertainment industry.
No, it hasn't been. Read this article
After the other tower went down:
10:33:42 ENTIRE TOWER DOWN The calls from the second tower ceased with another rumbling roar.
It appears that after each tower collapsed: 1) cell phones were unable to work in the vicinity, and/or 2) all the people were dead in each building. As very few people (I think the number I heard was five) were rescued alive from the buildings after they collapsed, I suspect it is a combination of both.
Good taste. That comes with interior decorating and such.
I would not want someone using a picture of my mangled child to make some "point". It's sick.
Totally off the mark. And BTW, I've known most of you volunteer EMT types. Couldn't be military, couldn't be cops, couldn't be paid fireman, so you ride around in your little civilian cars acting important with your little lights in the dashboard like you're some kind of 'Batman' or something.
It's my opinion and I'm allowed to voice it. You go for it, I'll defend your right to.
I'm sure every fireman and policeman at the scene agrees they don't want their fallen comrades treated that way.
OK genius where did you pick up by my comments that I wanted to capitalize on the tragedy in those folks lives.

I had to pick up airplane and body parts while I was in the Air Force at a pilot training base in Mississippi. AND I DAMN SURE DIDN"T GET OFF ON IT.
If you would bother to not only read but understand my original post, you would see what I am talking about.
Which part of Big Media do you work for, you effen censor you?
