This is going to be intresting where they will replay the entire event has it happened that day on tv but apparently via streaming video. Guess they don't want people to turn on the tv that morning to think "OMG, the WTC is burning AGAIN!!!" or make people have suicidal thoughts :|


Anyways I will be at work.... we will probibly have a moment of silence that morning.

MSNBC is doing the same thing, but on air. With I am sure a banner saying, "This happened already, calm down" across the bottom.
 
i kinda hate this idea

the footage is already shown so much...


maybe this would be good to do at the 10 year mark..

for me - just a bit too soon

oh, and no amount of chiron-ed warnings scrolling across will stop the idiots thinking it's happening again

lol
 
It is interesting to think about and look back at a time with the hindsight we have now. I'm certain that some people wouldn't be able to stomach watching it again, so making it an online-only affair will help in that regard (you can hardly stumble upon it by accident, can you?).

I won't be paying attention to it, however.
 
I clearly remembered seeing the replays of the hits and tower falls being shown at least two dozen times during the first 48 hrs...then the reports that they will stop as some people have reported thinking its happening again and again ....

I wonder if there is a way to tell my system to record a stream of this event?
 
[quote name='evilmax17']Wonder if it'll be editted at all. If so then it kind of defeats the point.[/QUOTE]


no, it won't be edited online. every boom, every OMG, every person falling out of the buildings, every building drop, interviews and so on will be replayed EXACTLY as it happened that day.
 
I've been watching the special on CBS tonight and it is hard watching the towers go down and especially hard watching them recover the bodies at ground zero.

You see I have a personal connection to 9-11 because I spent an entire year of my career dedicated to helping identify the victims at ground zero using DNA. It was probably the most exhaustive work I have ever done but probably the work I am most proud of. The shear number of DNA evidence we had to sequence and match looked like an impossible mountain to climb but after a year and a half it was done. Even though we didn't identify everyone and realize some will never have their remains returned to their families, I am confident that one day we will have the technology to finish up identifying the remaining victims we do have left and send them back to their families. So tomorrow will be especially somber for me because I still feel like we have a job to finish....

Agreed.

I don't mean to suggest that we should up and forget about 9/11, but it seems like the genuine desire to commemorate the event is blurring into the weird love of media tragedy-porn we've developed in recent years. All this 9/11 oversaturation is starting to enter the realm of O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson, Jon Benet, and all the other spectacles we seem to half get off on as a nation. I think it skews our perspective, and we already have way too much of that as is.
 
I see it as this way, in the next 10 years we will most likely be attacked even worse than 9-11 so then 9-11 won't be as big of a deal.
 
Unfortunately or fortunately, I slept through the entire thing... didn't wake up till 11am that morning. So I feel the need to watch it to see what everyone else saw.
 
I wish I could screenshot this (Ctrl+I in Windows Media Player doesn't work). They did a side by side shot of the WTC (after one had collapsed) and the Pentagon burning, and at the bottom, it said that the UN, White House and a few other places had been evacuated. I remember seeing that exact phrase five years ago when I was in Algebra 2. I felt so helpless, like the world was ending and all I could do was stand and watch.

It never really hit me until that night, when they announced that they were evacuating the Empire State Building. I started shaking. I wish they would put this (or someone would cap this) and put it on DVD. I'd love to have it to show to my kids one day in the future, you know?

The other tower collapses in about six or seven minutes.. at 10:29AM EST. The guy goes speechless and that freaked me out. "No words.. no words can describe." and it's just.. silence.

Yes because it's not like they will never be shown again. :roll:

I watched in school shortly after the first tower to about 11am and I so hated my school that day. The 1st graders were told more than the high schoolers. I was about to walk out and go home. The best part is that the planes flew pretty damn close to my house because they followed the Mass Pike. Plus there is an airbase near by and everytime a plane flew over head for at least a week we all looked out the window.

Aren't you optimistic. Although your probably right, once America gets a Democrat in office, they'll ease up on everything, Clinton-style, and you'll have Muhammad dive bombing us constantly.

Please elaborate. What did Clinton ease up on?
