9/11 FALLING MAN VIDEO
November 15th 2008 09:53
Last week I did a post about 9/11: The Falling Man. I did not include this YouTube video only because I didn’t know how to insert it. Here it is. It is long but if you would please give 5 minutes of your precious time, I hope that anyone who has not already viewed it will find that they want to watch it to the end. * 9/11: The Falling Man deals with people who are just about to die, through interviews with those left behind; in many cases communicating through mobile phones right to the end with their loved ones. I was so deeply affected by this documentary that I want everyone to see it. * My very first reaction to this disaster was that it was something exciting not that it was a tragedy; because my perception of the US was of a ‘bully’ who was getting a taste of their own medicine. I felt ashamed about this reaction once the aftermath began to unfold in the media. I know there are many videos still available on the internet which show footage of the 9/11 disaster. 9/11:The Falling Man, I think, uses some of that same footage but it is so much more. It shows why individuals should never be named as ‘casualties of war’.
