capitalizing on the sadness

CNN has been airing the darkmoments rehash. Also, watched the documentary on PBS with the step by step collapse of the twin towers. I remember the media replays in the days and months following merely showed billowing smoke and perhaps a brief frame or two of one of the airplanes at or just before impact. Too intense. Finally, Time/Newsweek put the fireball on the cover (and were chastised for it). Two years later they are considerably less restrained about what they serve up. They show the entire sequence shebang including the play by play collapse. Luckily, Media shows restraint in not showing the rain of suicides that fell to earth from the shattered top level floors and fire inferno, but I predict that by next anniversary they won’t be holding back.

  1. I, too, saw the PBS special which I thought was magnificent. I watched it in the middle of the night (hey, when ya can’t sleep….) Please update the whereabouts of SpongeBob Squarepants as I’m concerned he may be flying on an expired pass. Where’s security when you need ’em?!?
