Sometimes, some things are more powerful than acutally "seeing" dead bodies, limbs, etc.
Hearing the jumpers land and watching the firemen jump everytime a jumper landed was more powerful than actually seeing the corpses.
This was wonderful. You can see it all in the eyes of the firemen. I was worried about the "Probie".
The most stunning moment was the elderly office worker just standing there in shock. His expression said it all... "it's the end of the world."
I am changed. I want to do more than just watch and send money. If I was young enough, I would enlist. I may check out the Americorps.
Overall 5 stars.

It was moving and I felt the brothers did a very respectful job of filming. I was moved when the one brother decided he did not think it was right to film the two people on fire. And yes the sound of the bodies hitting bottom was horrible. I can't imagine what those poor folk went through. While we did not see bodies .. but to the see pain in the faces of the firemen when they spoke of finding body parts was very telling.

I tend to agree with this. I can't get that exploding "thud" of bodies hitting out of my head and found that, along with the unified "jump" of the firemen everytime it happened was very upsetting.
I am glad that they had that on the video however, because we do tend to be a 30-minute-sitcom society and this is time when I think we need salt rubbed into our collective wound so that we stay angry, resolute, and back the President. It will be harder for the Lefties to spin the war with the sounds of those horrible, hollow "thuds" still resonating in America's mind.
