I'll pass on playing this one Xavier. The memory of that day is painful enough as it is. I'm not voyeur enough to want to listen to this moment - to use this man's death - as a crutch to maintain my memory of the horror. Any person alive that day should have no problem remembering.
I dont really know what to say, as the words I find feel so inadequate. This day burns in my memory, and we still have not constructed the memorial at the site. It is as if we are ashamed of that day, and quite franklly it pisses me off. Build the damn memorial allready!
Technology is such a strange phenomenon--here we have the last moments of a man's life, recorded and terrible. Something God usually only knows.
May posterity never reach the point where pundits lead them to believe this never happened, may they understand that it was the acts of terrorists desperate to cause fear (and not our government using it as an excuse for war), and may they understand that peace loving folks will carry on despite the fearmongering terrorists will try to sew.
Could 9-11 happen again? Who knows. May God bless America.
I reserve the right to not publish ignorant ill-informed and filthy comments from vile cretins who have a four letter vocabulary. Further, anonymous comments with strong opinions and personal attacks may be rejected. If you want to voice a strong opinion, at least have the courage to sign your name to it. You don't even have to use your name, make something up so the next person can address your comment without confusion.
Dear Christ.
ReplyDeleteThis, along with the video of people choosing to jump to their death, should be played every day, so that people NEVER forget.

ReplyDeleteI was not ready for that. This really made it personal for me.
