channel 4 911 programme

[Mexicano Rojo]

about the telephone calls from the 2 towers, bloody hell this programme is heavy going, so many incredibly sad a nd tragic stories.

[Rich Pullen]

I started watching it but turned over because it was kind of pointless.

Tis the season I guess what with the anniversary coming up.

[Arriba]

i have it on.essential viewing but fucking depressing

[Bob's Orange]

Watching some Batman film on Sky. Think it might be Dark Night. Joker has just come out of a hospital wearing a nurses uniform and the hospital has been blown to smithareens.

There was a Brighton fan killed in the two towers, Brighton fans set up a charity called the Robert Eaton memorial fund, Its a fantastic charity with all proceeds going to developement of grass roots football, they have games against other fans and big games against Palace.

Last week they won sussex charity of the year, Robert Eatons parents collected the award.

we should maybe arrange a game with them before our next match down there.

Was that the "101 minutes that changed america" or something?

[Mexicano Rojo]

[Samdy Gray]

There was a film on ITV as well, United 93 I think it was.

Can only agree with what others have said this was a really interesting watch but so sad some of the twist of fates were brutal like the guy who had actually left a job there and only went back to clear out his desk,also the woman who had never been there in her life and was only there for 1 meeting to discuss a company merger.Some of the family members have dealt with it a lot better than I ever would.

I'm not defending terrorism, but I hope that those who formulated US foreign policy, in relation to The Middle East, feel the guilt that they should.

[Jamiesfuturewife]

God that programme was horrid and perhaps a little pointless but alot of the famlies found solice In the calls.

That bloke the rang the TV stations and paper though?? did anyone else find that bizzare?

Sorry that a bit like blaming the rabbi's for the holocaust, & african tibal leadrers for slavery. There can be no justification what so ever for what happened on 11th Sept.

That's interesting.

i never voted for the common market growing into the EEC.  Or our country having an open door policy.  So, if I do the unspeakable.  The powers that be should take their fair share of the blame?

Not the same thing at all and you know it. Can't remember Rabbi's bombing innocent Germans. Interesting you put African Tribal leaders, which ones? The ones who actively participated in helping the British (Among others) or the ones who didn't?

As I said at the start, I'm not defending terrorism and those directly responsible deserve to die for what they did. But there are others that are responsible too. US Foreign policy started the hatred that many Muslims feel for the West, I expect many of us would feel the same if it was our countries that were involved.

But it's much easier to have the bogeymen as solely Middle Eastern isn't it? 911 was a tragic waste of life, but it wasn't the only one and to put it somehow above everything the West has done in The Middle East to innocent men, women and children is wrong.

Pathetic argument. Did your Father, Mother, or children die due to The UK joining the EEC?
A portion of blame should be levied at those who dictated the way The US treated civilians in The Middle East. To argue that without their actions 911 would've happened is naivety, bordering on stupidity.
