I need the 'censored' photos.
My Personal Project | Today | Looking4Truth

Posted on 10/22/2001 10:53:24 PM PDT by Looking4Truth

Disclaimer: Maybe this shouldn't be posted under Current Events but Vanity, but I believe the event should remain current in our minds.

This thread hopefully doesn't offend victims of the cowardly terrorist attack (Not "tragedy", or "mishap") as the Big Media would like to spin it.

My request is simple.

I am starting a collection of photos, video captures, etc for a special project that I've been developing which I may title something like "America Will Never Forget".

Let me give you a little background about my personal development since joining FR (and lurking for at least a year before that).

My education beyond my little world has increased exponentially since becoming a member here and I will be eternally grateful.

Now comes the rough part. I am not a morbid individual, but I am trying to ferret out the 'bad', 'censored' and otherwise NON-Big Media accepted version of the images that Big Media has decided we need to see.

I've seen a few very gory distaster(or otherwise) situations in my lifeand I can see from the very beginning that Big Media is sanitizing the info we receive already regarding the 'tradgey' (effin euphemisms).

Bottom line. I want the gut-wrenching pics that some of you may have sources for that I can use. Not that seeing people fall to their death vs. getting incinerated by 2000deg flames wasn't enough.

I want the hardcore stuff.

The reason that I am passionate about this cause is it took me forty years to finally see some actual photos of naked jews getting gunned down in cold blood from behind and I have been educated very thoroughly about the holocaust since I was a child but still never experienced actual images until I came to ....you guessed it.... FreeRepublic.

I don't want history obscured like it was when I went to school.

FReepmail me with links or tell me to FOAD.

I've already got the crash video and photos, lots of the recovery images, but I think you know what I am looking for.

My heartfelt condolences go to the families who have directly been affected, the poor little innocent children who had to deal with by 'expressing themselves thru drawing' or some liberal BS 'counseling', and he heroic fire and rescue people involved in this TERRORIST ATTACK.

If the project comes to fruition, it will not be for personal gain.

The world should never forget this cowardly, pathetic attempt to frighten the greatest country in the history of the world into submission.

Let's Roll!

I won't give you my business account, but If you want to help either link images somewhere where I can get them thru FReepmail or send directly to JGRobertsBassist@hotmail.com.

Something about that last photo doesn't look right. The building looks too small to be one of the twin towers, and the exterior is not the same either.

No, it's right. The Towers always looked that way from certain angles. It's just the way the outer skin of the buildings was designed.

I completely agree bump. Maybe they are saving the more graphic images for when we face our next tough decision. Good luck with your project.

Yes it is a very hard job and the worse thing about it is we don't get very good pay for it. If you are an EMT in Los Angeles, you are barely making over min. wage.
I was on my way to Paramedic school when we figured out as bad as I wanted to do it we just couldn't afford it.
Paramedics don't make much, I think from what I gathered I would be making around 10.00 hr when I graduated from school. We just couldn't make it on that kind of pay and I am too old to get into the Los Angeles Fire Dept. and work as a Paramedic there where you can make a half way decent living.

Perhaps you could get your jollies by visiting morgues.

BTTT.

Ain't sure I want to see all the graphics. Might never need to, but it's good you're making a memorial album. Never forget.

My guess is this is one of those jollies things. I can't imagine why anyone would want a picture of a splattered body except to offend someone and gloat over the reaction. A cyber flasher. The same people who think Annie Sprinkle and a cucumber is art.

He should try alt.binaries.tasteless.

Having heard Richard Gere's comments at the concert for New York, I'd say that there are some people who need to be offended by the sight of splattered bodies. The exploding and falling skyscrapers just weren't enough; he still doesn't get it.

theblackday.net has a large collection of vivid photos from Sept. 11. They bring back the feelings of that day very clearly.

Did you miss this line....

The reason that I am passionate about this cause is it took me forty years to finally see some actual photos of naked jews getting gunned down in cold blood from behind and I have been educated very thoroughly about the holocaust since I was a child but still never experienced actual images until I came to ....you guessed it.... FreeRepublic.

....or just ignore it, not understand it, fear reality?

Do you believe we should sanitize history, assuming the generations to follow will completely understand what really happened?

There must've been many folks who jumped. Terrible stuff.

Try talking to people who saw it in person. From what I understand, quite a few happy-go-lucky folks are now grim people in counselling because of it. Early on, the NYC news showed a man hanging outside of his window, waving his jacket for help and then they cut it, implying that he jumped/fell. From the numbers I've heard, hundreds must have jumped or fallen. The phrase that sticks with me the most, used by a person who fled the towers, was "piles of blood". Blood normally doesn't sit in piles.

You can join verity with in my last piece of advice. P!ss off! (Guess we won't be hooking up for any local freeps since I know you live pretty close to me. Your loss.)

Fine, don't read the whole article, just attack me.

Better yet, go back to your lazyboy and sit on your ass watching some dumbass game or race and have a beer.

I recall hearing the first day that 911 operators were recieving calls from people trapped after the WTC towers collapsed. I have figured that part of the story has been suppressed as well...

Maybe you should take up NASCAR or beer rather than collecting "hardcore".

Thanks for the clarification and backup.

I was really surprised at Appy, I thought I knew him better. Guess not.
