Re: Look Close.
Yes it is. You see the comments by the dipshit that said it was ashes ? I've never seen ashes destroy a steel hand rail, but I've seen several people fall from over 800 feet up and destroy one. Glad you can see it for what it is too man. I'll never forget that sound, over and over and over again. Over 100 people, probably much closer to 200 jumped or fell within the 102 minutes the North Tower stood. That's almost 2 every minute on average, still nothing I could get used to. |

Re: Look Close.
I don't understand why people seem to be having such a hard time seeing and hearing that poor soul hit the rail. It's painfully obvious. :/ I was still in middle school when this went down and everyone kept trying to shelter myself and my age-mates from what really happened, which just made it worse in my opinion. It's pretty terrifying when your teachers are all crying and there is a black out over the entire school. Of course, that is obviously not nearly as terrifying as experiencing it. I can't even imagine what that must have been like. But when you are a kid and your teachers are crying, parents are taking their kids out of class, and no one will tell you what's happening... Egh. My youngest sister has Aspergers, too, and is extremely sensitive, so we were forbidden to talk about it at home, nor could we watch the news or read the paper. I was all the way down in Alabama at the time, though, so well out of harm's way. My grandpa had just been in the WtC the week before, though, and that always unsettled me. Had he gone any later and I probably would have lost him. That depravation of knowledge just made me all the more curious, though. What information or images I saw were gleaned from other people. The first time I was able to actually see what had happened was when Moore's documentary aired. The sound of the bodies hitting the ground chilled me like nothing else ever has and I've got a weird mixture of fear and fascination for it. That was roughly the time I developed an intense fear of heights and it's only just started easing in the past couple years. I really appreciate all the info you've given us, Bill! It's awesome to get it from someone who was actually there and who understands why we all want to see and know more about it. I watched the documentary about the phone calls and messages recently and it's haunting. I still get chills when I think about it and I don't think that is ever going to change. Whenever I hear 9/11 the first image that pops into my head is my 7th grade math teacher stepping into the room sobbing. She's the only teacher I can remember clearly and it's all because of how I link her with all of this death and destruction. Interesting how the memory works! |

Re: Look Close.
Woops I made a fuck up,not sure if a mod can delete my last one,that would be nice Thats your argument,that I had nothing to add? I come here to view and if I did have something to add of value I would and certainly wouldnt waste half my day posting this garbage. I had nothing against you personally just a video.You most of the time post awesome shit,this just not one of your best. But thats why I come here to look at awesome shit - have an opinion - comment and people either hate you or like you.You got personal and want to say I pouted,etc,etc? Cmon, I am obviously not the only one you have been arguing with which is the majority of the comments here,... you trying to explain this and defend yourself half this thread. What ball do I need to get on? You want me to post some stuff for ya? I have posted one thing on here and it was a simple hand injury that makes this thread look like a broken nail.Its whatever,I had an opinion you had yours its all good man I can handle criticism. |
