It's obscene, and Youtube should be made aware of it since it clearly violates their Terms of Service.
Ironically, they make it next to impossible to report it. Of course.
Maybe. If a soul is already bent in that direction. But, a normal person should look at this and have understanding that we could be next, any day.
Not sure what your point is
Oh, IIRC, "Inside The Twin Towers" will be on The Discovery Channel tonight
at 9PM EASTERN/8PM Central.
Be sure to double-check that time if planning to tune in.
Saving Bump.
No, I think one of the very reasons it is so easy for so many people to dismiss 9/11 is that it was sanitized almost imediately, as if those 3000 people had simply gone out to work that morning and been whisked away by spaceships. Remember, one of the crazy theories of the 9/11 deniers is that the CIA took over the airplane and dumped all the passengers out over the ocean before flying it into the WTC...
I think it's good to see this (although I actually couldn't stand to watch more than a few seconds, personally) and remind people of the horrible reality of the whole thing. Even if common sense won't wake them up, reality might.
for later
marking to remember more fully
The jumpers were not shown live on ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX/CNN. They were shown live on Telemundo/Univision however on 9/11.

Lord Haw Haw would be a closer approximation. Just before the British strung him up for treason in 1946, he said, "In death as in life, I defy the Jews who caused this last war, and I defy the powers of darkness which they represent."
BTW, speaking of approximations, the treason charge was a bit bogus, since he was actually an American who had become a German citizen and never had been a British subject, although he carried a British passport.
One hopes Gadahn won't be captured alive. To judge from Leonie Brinkema and the twelve dumbest of greater Alexandria, Americans have lost the knack for approximation.
never forgget...
Thanks very much! I live in Texas, and speak only enough Spanish to order food and get by. We do tune in to Telemundo, Galavision, and Univision on occasion for the newsfeeds and steamy novellas. To address the point of a previous poster about classifying all of the people that fell, jumped, or were pushed as "jumpers"; I understand. The blame must be laid upon the radical islamics that committed the horrific act. Not on the innocent victims.
I have an account on their and flag every IED and WTC video I can find as illegal acts, or graphic violence.

That durned sarcasm thing fell on the floor. Soon as it gets located, it will be here.
We can use words, in appropriate, purposeful manner and setting to say all that needs to be heard and to be motivational about the three thousand we all lost that day. Words go to the reasoning level of our being -- images and direct exposure both cause a experience, an unavoidable natural reastion, at the basal body-level. That reaction differs from inidividual to individual but it is traumatic, no matter how subtle the effect. As Bin Laden and his beheading video loving ilk may know, directly or subconsciously one unavoidable basal effect is to stroke the "victim" in us all. To make us more likely to become a victim of life rather than master of it.
Yes, I agree with that, that we have a real problem in that it was immediately and agressively sanitized. AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED, the images may have served some purpose -- still even then the images and video would have been overpowering for many and induced the helpless victim effect. Today? Un-unh. Just morbid gawkin -- what do we all want to be teenie goths? Not me.
