[Heracles 417]

Just watching the movie in Australia. Quite an interesting account of the lead up to 9/11.

Remeber it is not entirely based on fact.

[Heracles 417]

This is a pretty good film. Has a bipartisan focus. Shows you the BS red tape that authorities have to go through, just to save lives..

I heard on the news the other day that the abc's 9/11 has misleading information and they also made up some "fact". But it's kinda interesting so I think i'm going to watch it anyway..

I'm sure it will be much closer to the truth than Fahrenheit 9/11 and all the Hunt the Boeing nonsense

Yes, keep the right-wing propaganda coming. I'd watch it if I weren't going to be working.

What makes you so sure? Might it be that this account just fits your perception of the events better?

I will be watching it. For sure! I watched "THose Trapped in Elevators" on September 11th and their stories. I try to watch as much as I can and learn more of that horrible day. I worked across the east river and watched the planes hit and the towers collapse and waited to hear from my little sister that was 2 streets away from WTC. Not knowing if she was dead or alive, I waited as everyone from my building ran home, one co-worker stayed with me while I waited. No phones just waited and prayed. Finally around 12:30 my sister came to my building, all covered with ash and smelled strongly of chemicals and petrol. I will never EVER forget that day as long as I live. My baby sister had to walk from Manhattan to Brooklyn to get to me. She was summer interning from college and only knew how to get to work and home on the subway. Luckily people started to group up according to where they lived and all walked together.

Now I work one block away from Ground Zero. I see the huge gapping hole everyday and everyday my heart is heavy.

I also lost a co-worker who was in the north tower, and wonderful family man. Such a sense of humor he would have you rolling on the ground with laughter. I will never forget him.

So I don't watch these movies, documentaries or programs so I can say "AHA!!! You are to blame for this, you should have known, you saw the warnings, you heard the threats, etc." I watch to learn why this happened and how another attack can be prevented, and if not prevented, what to do for yourself if you are stuck in such a situation of your life being threatened. To end my reply I will tell you this. My sister said to me that everything in her mind changed as she ran down the streets trying to find her subway to go home. When she realized that the subways were closed and watched people kicking off their shoes to run faster and people dropping their brief cases and saw bodies falling from the buildings and paper floating from the sky her only thought was "I can swim to my sister, she is right across the river".

God Bless all those souls we loss and remember when you watch these programs that at the end of the day, so many innocent people died for a selfish reason placed upon us by others.

This is exactly the issues this series covers.

These movie documentaries are one part of a broader discourse and should never be anyone's sole, or even major reference point.

I did, and I'm looking over what it says...

The ABC television network -- a cog in the Walt Disney empire -- unleashed a promotional blitz in the last week for a new "docudrama" called "The Path to 9/11". ABC bills the two-night production as a public service that is "based on the 9/11 Commission Report". That is false - it is actually a bald-faced attempt to slander Democrats.

"The Path to 9/11" is a conservative attempt to rewrite the history of September 11th to blame Democrats. The Walt Disney Corporation could have given Americans an honest look at September 11. Instead, the company abandoned its duty to the truth -- and embraced the fiction known as "The Path to 9/11."

Tell Walt Disney president Robert Iger that you hold his company responsible -- and that this community demands that ABC tell the truth.

Mr. Iger,

"The Path to 9/11" mocks the truth and dishonors the memory of 9/11 victims to serve a cheap, callous political agenda. It irresponsibly misrepresents the facts and completely distorts the truth.

This film is a conservative attempt to rewrite the history of September 11 to blame Democrats, just in time for the election. You should honor the trust the public has given you with our public airwaves by keeping this propaganda off the air.

Sincerely,

What I'm asking you is part of the above statement is a dirty trick?
