but we couldn't even see a single victim during the entire film.

I understand your point but with the crashing sounds that was heard as the bodies fell .. I don't think pictures were needed ...

I think we all knew what was going on and if some didn't .. then they are pretty dang stupid and don't get it ..

And the one firefighters comment, to the effect that he (paraphrasing) "couldn't imagine how bad it was, if the best available option was to JUMP". Precisely what millions of others watching were thinking. How do you even begin to comprehend that decision.

The reaction of those guys in the lobby when they heard the impacts, showed me all I needed to see.

Sorry that you feel that way.
There is a lot more going on here than simple how we are "feeling".

I am the world's biggest wimp, and avoid the sight of blood at all costs, including my own, but.

I know that there are instances when I would force myself, no question, not only to look but to act. There is not much point in dwelling on what those might be, suffice to sat that the thought itself is painful.

We have been chosen by fate to live this event; it is extraordinary and a defining moment for the character of any nation, and I see it as one of those events that all of us would rather not experience.

I would view the unedited tape. I would force myself to. If for no other reason than to defy those weak of spirit as well as heart who would rather avoid, evade and forget, and mouth inanities like "lowering ourselves to their level".

I can never forget Winston Churchill's words:
No nation has ever been saved from extinction by 'good men'.
