I know we should never forget, but I sure wouldn't want my last desperate words broadcast to the world, nor those of anybody I loved.

Let's remember in other ways. Why isn't that Web-documentary with the Enya song played on TV on 9/11, for example?

I think it's only transcripts, not the actual audios. And the vast majority of people in this country probably didn't know anybody in those buildings. So it's not like we'll read these transcripts and know who the people are. I don't particularly care to know who made what phone call. They were all human beings--I don't need to know their names.

I can't remember the man's name, but I think I spoke to him over the years in relation to my job, and other people at my company dealt with him pretty regularly. It was a man who worked for Marsh & McLennan, and it turns out he was on the phone with someone that my boss knows right when the plane hit. The other man only knew at first that they were talking and then the phone call was cut off. Of course, it didn't take long after the news broke all over the world for him to figure out that he was the last person to ever speak with the man from MarshMac. I think their office was in the direct path of one of the planes.
