thanks for sharing all of your feelings & thoughts kay... >>I feel that the producers went too far at some points -- I for one did not need to see more than one person jump, more than one time. And I really didn't need to see one of the jumpers sprawled, post-mortem, on the ground.<<
I agree that this was unecessary & disrespectful... >>It was perhaps an unhealthy thing for me to watch the film. I really relived a lot that I would care not to, but I imagine that I will relive it in bits and pieces for the rest of my life. However, one good thing about it was that I really, really, really cried while watching it, and that was a relief of sorts, as I was almost totally unable to cry for months after 9/11.<<< I always think that its cathartic to be able to finally cry about traumatic events...& sometimes it does take reliving them to get to that place... >>>I was astounded by the deadly grace with which the roof sank<< That is an amazing sentence. >>It is to me truly miraculous that less than 3,000 people died that day, because by rights it could have been 25,000 or more (there were close to 100,000 people working in the whole complex.)<<< I feel the same way. Tragic as it is that even one person had to die, as a number compared to how many could have died...it really is amazing. >>Denial is my drug of choice these days, because I have decided to stay here.<< On a smaller scale, mine too, because we keep returning...because I grew up in the area & will always need & love NYC. ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
