This documentary is one of the most powerful pieces of work I have ever seen in my life.

The version without the cursing and profanity. You have proven the case that CBS does not need it to make a powerful show.

This is a test case for CBS to see how far they can go. If there is no out-pouring of complaints from the public, they will go further the next time.

IMHO, this is the issue. They are using a powerful documentary to try to eliminate any and all limits on what they air in prime time.

It is a documentary! It shows what happened INSIDE the World Trade Center on 9/11. Profanity was a part of that. Deal with it.

Since you are so angry that a child might be exposed to reality, why don't you call up the NY City Fire Department and tell them that they acted unprofessionally on 9/11 by using profanity? Please let me know what they say.

thank you for pointing this out. i saw it the first time around and it doesn't need profanity to make it's point. this is more a case of CBS thinking they can do what they want when they want and the devil with anyone who disagrees.

I don't think there is a "clean" version of this documentary. Let us be clear about that.
