Then why am I crying?

[paulat]

not much to see, there is only about 2 seconds of footage in the trailer, it's all graphics of a radar map and voices of air traffic controllers, terrorists and phone calls.

...it's the voices....

David Alan Basche plays Todd Beemer. Basche was in War of the Worlds with Tom "Come of the Closet" Cruise. (Basche on the right in photo below)

Also...did you not get the HORROR everyone must have felt when they saw the plane turn around on radar?!

I even have quicktime on my desktop. Just checked it. I never have luck with the browser supported quicktimes. Must be one of my browser settings.

If you are looking for horror, here are the 911 tapes from Jersey City

Sorry, guys...I don't know how to help you any more...it will be out on Real pretty soon, no doubt.

As you may have gathered...it is more about the voices than the video.

[Calpernia]

I tried in F.F. and I.E.

If I really wanted to, I would test in Opra and Netscape; but I'm not that desperate for the Hollywood version. I saw enough live:

The movie is in the H.264 codec (HD quality) and it doesn't need to be since there's virtually no video. Lots of people have trouble with it.

Last year I believe the National Geographic Channel or the Discovery Channel did a program called, I think, "The Flight That Fought Back."

It was very well done, however...

It was all I could do to watch it. I bounced like a ping-pong ball from towering rage to tears and back and forth again and again.

And then when I think of what the traitors in the Democratic Party are doing to make us lose the war on terror...

Well, no tears, but the rage is there!

May God have mercy on those Liberal souls, because there is no mercy in my heart.

[Calpernia]

Ah. I think I need Windows XP for that to run. I'm still in Windows Professional and it doesn't support some codec files.

I have heard that program was excellent. I don't have cable...so I missed it...but I will keep checking to see if the video is available. Thanks for reminding me.

I just found it on eMule, as an "avi" file.

[The Mayor]

I'm still trying..

If this doesn't turn into another "Munich," they may have done something right.

Amen to that. Saving Private Ryan was a thrilling, heartbreaking masterpiece (is there anyone who didn't at least tear up at the cemetery scene?), but I guess Spielberg believes that while the Nazi war machine needed to be met with equal force and ferocity, its modern equivalent should not be.

I guess we will never get over that day. I shudder to think of the turmoil that would have boiled up within the American people if we had not had a president that so quickly and effectively engaged in battle with the enemy. Without dramatic action this country would have gone insane with frustration and outrage.

I can't agree more. I have told the story on a few posts about coming out of a grocery store here (Seattle) and having twenty-somethings urge me to sign petitions against "Cheney and Halliburton." First of all, they didnt' know what they were talking about...second of all...I am scared to death that these ADD Americans have forgotten what happened.

"Never forget!!" That should be our motto, too!
