I'm crying right now... watching History Channel Unreleased Video Special for 9/11....

[RollWithIt]

I remember breaking down in tears on 9/11. I was in a training session for a state certificate in Florida on 9/11. My mother called me at 11AM to tell me what was going on. I turned to the trainer and asked if it was ok to leave. He said if I left, I would have to start the entire course over in a month. One week certifcation. So I stayed. At the time it was my only choice. No TV in the room. I sat through it until 5PM and headed home. I sat down and turned on NBC. They were replaying the collapse footage. I saw the replay of the first collapse at about 6PM. I burst into tears. Long day. Since then I have never cried.

Today I watched the History Channel timed out footage and I cried. So terrible. I wish we'd have had a President who was capable of expressing deep emotion and thought.

1. How different these past eight years would have been

if the duly-elected president had taken office.

13. It would have changed the course of history. Hurts so to think about it

:cry:

2. TV stayed off all day today...I won't watch any of it.

It's too hard.

[RollWithIt]

5. It had to be watched... we have to know everything

Tonight I watched hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of videos of NYC 9/11 that I'd never seen.

15. A gentle reminder that you're going to know only what you're approved to know...

... and if you honestly think this film contains "everything," or even a decent percentage of everything, I'd suggest digging a little deeper -- and looking anywhere besides a broadcast by a mass media outlet based in the US.

Did they show WTC 7 collapsing? If so, did they use the video that includes the soundtrack of the countdown to demolition? Or the ones with various beeps and other electronic warnings to clear the area prior to demolition?

Or any footage of that infamous BBC live report in which the on-scene "journalist" is telling her studio-based newsreader all about WTC 7's collapse -- except it's about 25 minutes too early and WTC 7 is visible directly behind her, standing tall and definitely not collapsed?

Did they show any of the numerous video/audio clips of reporters -- including one or two from Fux Nudes -- telling the world that explosions caused the first tower to collapse? This was before the official script had been distributed to all the "on-air talent," I suppose.

Maybe the commands from captains and chiefs to their firefighting crews warning them to watch out for more explosions? Or the firefighters themselves -- most of whom had just escaped being killed along with dozens of their friends and brother and sister firefighters -- pouring out a nervous, stream of consciousness clipped narrative of amazement and horror about how they had been slammed around like toy dolls by explosions from the basement levels just before the first tower collapsed?

All this is also factual information that everybody needs to know. Sadly, in the land of the gullible and propagandized, the official story is still believed by at least half the population.

Meanwhile, the real terrorists -- those living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and the Naval Observatory -- are living large, stealing money as fast as they can stash it offshore and plotting even more bloodshed so they and their war profiteering cronies can make one last giant killing (so to speak) before next January...

But maybe they'll decide that life's just too good pretending to be the leaders of the free world. This is likely if their professional election thieves can't steal this one for McCorpse and his animal-murdering fundie sidekick.

The Bushies will have to stick around to be sure they don't get busted by some zealot prosecutor and Bugliosi fan who thinks the rule of law still has any relevance in BushWorld(tm).


And a happy 9/11 to you, too.

16. Yes, one should if they're interested in conspiracy theories which is not what today is about...

It's about remembering those who died.

[musette_sf]

3. the History Channel

and National Geo channel, for that matter, both endorse the Official Conspiracy Theory. therefore i cannot watch any of their programs about September 11, 2001. their propaganda is disgusting.

[RollWithIt]

4. Watch it....

It's all just video of the scene. Thousands of videos. I MEAN THOUSANDS OF VIDEOS. Well edited. Everything time recorded as it happened. When my son is 15-16 years old I will show it to him and talk to him about it.

[NEDem]

6. This is a very well done special

I've avoided all shows like this, but I started watching and I can't pull myself away from it. No narration, no commentary, just hundreds of video clips.

7. I remember crying.too

[w8liftinglady]

8. I remember crying.too

[Errrica]

9. I just watched all of it.

It was all so... real. No commentary, just real people with real reactions who were really there. Wow. What a somber night in my house.

[RollWithIt]

11. Yup, no spin, no stupid talking heads, just fact....

My living room was in silence.

[w8liftinglady]

17. so=you cant be the it girl

[HughMoran]

18. I did it last year - weeped like I did the day it happened

I don't need that this year, but I can relate to your story.

[AlCzervik]

19. yeh, difficult to watch, the video from the apartment, people jumping out of tower one

and that was before the second plane even hit 2. I was unwaware that the jumping was going on before the 2nd plane hit. I don't why i didn;t know that. Anyhow it brings it right back to that morning, me sitting in my car, the phone rings and it's my husband yelling turn on the radio and then us trying to contact our niece that worked on the same block as the towers. It took us 2 days to reach her but she was lucky and made it out of the city.

[RamboLiberal]

22. Same here - this is first time I've seen this video

and it is well done. It was mostly about the people of NY and how they reacted that day. A lot of it is amateur video or just local news camera people and their footage.

[w8liftinglady]

20. This is so {{{{{

[AZBlue]

21. The one that includes the 911 and fire conversations?

It's heartbreaking.

[Scout]

23. i watched it too

i can't help myself. i must watch everything i see about that day. the faces of the firefighters who were left after the collapses were very moving. stunned disbelief, horror, shock ... it was awful.
