I'm watching a documentary on YouTube right now. Footage and interviews with different local NYC reporters and the designer of the buildings. They said both towers fell in 10 seconds. One million tons of steel, glass, aluminum, and concrete each, falling at 125mph. That just doesn't make sense. Shockwaves from the impacts were picked up more than 40 miles away by seismic instruments used to rate earthquakes.


I've never watched any footage other than what was on TV and the documentary, 9/11 I mentioned in the other post. I didn't want to. I couldn't. I knew no one who died, I don't think I know anyone who knew people who died. But the sheer horror of what happened that day, all the people who perished, all the survivors who had to live with the experience of the day, the aftermath of it all....it was too much. My sensitive nature just couldn't take it. Fifteen years later and it's still tough to watch something other than what I have already seen.


May we never forget.
