9/11 Documentary on CBS (Live Thread)

Self | Today | The Chief

katy, turn it on now. I think it's going to air at 8:00. They're always so confused about the time differences it's better to be safe than sorry.

They're showing the early part of the documentary, before 9/11. I'm sitting here wondering how many of these guys didn't make it out. Probably a lot / most. It breaks my heart thinking about it.

Recording to MPEG for remembrance. Never forget!

[Tennessee_Bob]

Recording it to mpeg here too....actually ATI VCR format, going to convert it later - just have to figure out how.

[Severa]

My sons (2 and 5) are in bed, besides they're really too young to understand all that happened on 9/11.

So it's just me. *sad look* I wish my husband was here. (he's a submarine sonar tech on 6 month deployment). I really don't know how much of this I'll be able to watch.

[Think free or die]

I sent our 8 and 6 year olds to bed. Until I've seen it, I'm not ready to let either of them view it. Nicely done so far.

[shadeaud]

I'm afraid we are all going to fall in love with these guys(for what they do and how close a family they are) just to watch them meet the Lord at such an early age.

[StriperSniper]

Does that play on those DivX players (like The Playa)?

[Tennessee_Bob]

Nah, it's proprietary, but I can export to mpeg2 - trying to figure out how to convert the mpeg2 to divx so I can drop it onto one drive

[Pyro7480]

Drop your anti-gun views Mr. Tom Ridge!!

[katykelly]

I have all 3 TV's on. We have satilite so we have to hook up rabbit ears. Right now they showing a Richard Dryfus movie. I can't stand that guy.

I'm using Power VCR, it records direct to MPEG - but they're *BIG*. For 2 hours, I bet I generate around 16 gigs.

[areafiftyone]

I am watching it. Tom Ridge is on now. Even though I am nervous seeing it happen all over again my eyes are riveted to the screen.

[Slyfox]

They will probably be selling tapes of it after the show. I'll try and post the phone number for ya.

[Recovering_Democrat]

this has been excellent so far...I'm stunned the leftists at CBS are capable of airing such heroic stuff.

[Think free or die]

Yes, they've painted a warm portrait of life in the firehouse, and now the horror starts. I wish my husband weren't traveling tonight. It's hard to watch this alone. From my middle-aged perspective, the young firefighter (Tony) isn't so very much older than my own little boys.

[TxBec]

yes...seeing the towers light up at night in the background behind him nearly made me lose it..

[areafiftyone]

OMG!!! What a horror seeing the first plane again.

[Severa]

Watching this again hurts me too. In HS our senior trip was to Washington DC and NYC (April 1995). We went up in one of the towers (can't remember which one) all the way up to the observation deck. I still have the stamped penny I got out of one of the little machines in that tower.

The journey up the stairwell begins.

My blood is boiling again... words cannot express how much I despise the cowards that killed so many people. May they rot in hell.
