I hate to admit it, but I have to agree. I caught the BBC footage on C-SPAN, and the sight of these people leaping 70 and 80 stories to their doom was one of the most horrible images I have ever seen. Camera followed them down most of the way before they mercifully cut away. Maybe these images would drive home the sheer horror that these people endured during their last moments of life. There seemed to be a h*ll of a lot of callers on C-SPAN, especially women, who were reluctant to retaliate against those responsible, because they were afraid we might hurt innocent people; especially children. I wanted to reach right into the television to throttle them.
I've noticed that there has been NO speculation on casualties. It is now more than 12 hours later, and I have heard NO estimate as to the number of dead or missing. None. Seems weird.
