I am going to bed after watching. I'm not sure I should have. I have seen people die. I have pulled dead bodies from wrecked vehicles. I lived through flooding in the engine room and a fire that was supposedly one of the worst in bubblehead history where for quite a period of time our own survival was in question. I have fought fires as a volunteer in both buildings and forest, but I have never seen anything like this. Firemen ducking and flinching with each explosion of another body hitting the pavement. The Father who becomes death #1 walking through the lobby minutes before his death praying for the firefighters. I all but sobbed and don't know that I ever want to hear Danny Boy ever again. The sound and vision of those planes hitting the towers. The skyline on 9-10 with the towers lit up and standing proud. I truly want to do some harm to anyone involved with or condoning this kind of terror shit.

That documentary was incredible and CBS deserves a lot of credit for not editing out the language. I use the subtitle feature on my TV because I don't always catch everything that's being said. It was amazing to see a prime time show spelling out all our favorite heretofore bleeped out words. The documentary gave me nightmares. It is still every bit as much a horror now as it was then. The one sentence that stood out "What is going on up there that jumping out a window is preferable?" (or words to that effect)
