I ran across a DVD in Sam's that was a documentarty made by those French photojournalists. They were inside the WTC shortly after the planes hit and the sounds of the bodies hitting the pavement souded like bombs going off. All the firefighters jumped whenever it happened and I got the impression it was really hard for them to take. They all looked real shook up about it. It was an awful sound. And to know that it was somebody's life that had ended. It was a tough video to watch, but I'm glad I got it. I wish I had got more. We need to remember.
Metmom, if you get HBO, there is a great documentary called In Memoriam. It's Rudy Guiliani and his staff's comments on that terrible day and it shows all these home videos from different people taping while the horror unfolded. It is a powerful powerful documentary and it does not shy away from showing the jumpers. If you don't get HBO, see if you can rent it. I taped the documentary by the French firefighters and it is just an amazing thing. The look on the firemen's faces everytime a body landed. I know people who worked at that pile of burning rubble for weeks and they are still traumatized. They could not find any whole bodies to recover, they were bringing out parts in buckets. I don't mean to gross you out, but this is the real horror of what those monsters did to living, breathing, innocent people. My mom worked on the 90th floor of the North Tower, I am grateful she did not work there on 9/11. If you ever get to Albany NY, at the Albany Museum is the 9/11 exhibit, with a crushed firetruck, id cards, mementos from the attack, including a wheel from one of the planes. They run the French brothers film continuously. No one leaves that room without tears. Also, the Flight that Fought Back from the Discovery Channel was good and you can buy it from their website. Let's never forget this and teach our children never forget or forgive. FReepmail me anytime, sounds like we are of like mind and heart.
