So what are your thoughts on the show? It was very well done but I have to say that it really #@$%ed me up, once again. They were showing footage that I hadn't seen since that day. Like the blond reporter saying "We are here, as close as we can possibly get to the World Trade Towers" and the cameraman panning up JUST as Tower Two started to go.

I have it on tape, and will try to watch it again today. I was at the Marriot for three days in late August for a convention (my last trip to the area), and it's become something of an obsession for me to find that building in the disaster footage, at the point before it was completely destroyed. I saw it three times during the "9/11" documentary. There were these hideously big "bites" taken out of the building after the first tower fell, and when Tower One came down it obliterated everything but about three stories on the souther end. That was where that lovely bar was located.

I don't know why I do this to myself, it just seems important to get the physical layout all set in my mind. It was so disturbing to look at Ground Zero on television and not be able to orient myself visually to something as basic as north and south. It was that unrecognizable.
