There is a certain irony to this situation.
At least what you want to watch is real.
It is all kinds of gripping, scarey and facinating in a weird, sad, desperate way.

i think its fascinating, not sure why. maybe just to see how people react under extreme pressure. also, it's amazing that so much footage exists of what actually happened that day - completely different to something like the titanic where there's just a few photos

yeah, and he watched the last 2 or 3 programmes that have been on (ie. the millionaire widows), the film with Nicholas Cage and the one before that

It's the knowing what's coming
Yeah now it is...but the morning it happened, I just sat in front of the tele, glued to it, jetlagged, stunned and unable to switch it off.

Maybe I like the misery
the despair in that female telephonist's voice is horrible

did people at the time expect the towers to fall? it doesnt seem so. people just stood around staring even when they were really close. and firefighters went into the buildings

That's what they do.

I don't think anyone was expecting it.

The two girls watching from their apartment as the 2nd plane hit really got me. Just how they screamed and screamed and then the realisation that it was an attack and their panicked run from their building.

No they didn't. The fire crews would not have been on their way in had they even imagined it.

it must have been terrifying to get caught in the smoke and dust that engulfed the streets after the first tower fell - it goes completely dark

Another haunting image later in the day...thousands of people walking across Brooklyn bridge covered in dust, in shock, zombie like.

it seems so obvious to us now with the benefit of hindsight, but did it not cross anyone's mind that it was a possibility the towers could collapse?

Having these inane adverts between sections of a programme showing such powerful footage seems so wrong.

My brother was sitting in our livingroom and he had just said what a credit it was to the sturdiness of the buildings that they were still standing. The words were just out of his mouth when the first tower collapsed.
