Remembering 9/11: National Geographic Channel

National Geographic Channel is in the midst of a week long "Remembering 9/11" retrospective. Well done thus far.

I can't watch that stuff. When I remember the horror of the sounds of those heavy thumps, that human rain, and then figuring out what it was, I have to go away for a while. I studied the Holocaust pretty extensively and I learned that keeping a distance is essential. With 9/11, I just can't, I get swallowed up in it.

Never forget.

I have watched some of it, including the President Bush interview. It was very well done and very informative.

i watched the Sunday programming. it was excellent. the Bush interview was especially good. never, ever forget that day. we owe it to the victims who did nothing but go to work. infinitely worse than Pearl Harbor, imo.

I watched the Sunday night programs as well, but shouldn't have done that right before bed.  I was up for a while after that, and I think I've seen about as much 9/11 coverage as I can stomach for the next few years.

Except for watching "Inside the Twin Towers" a few years ago, this was the most extensive documentary I had seen on the blow-by-blow events of 9/11.  I had never heard the cockpit audio of the hijackers, nor of the Flight 11 flight attendant's phone call to American Airlines after the first hijack happened.  Bone-chilling stuff.
