That's my reaction as well. The images last night were memorable, but they didn't shock me because they were so sanitized.

I thought it odd that we could hear the word "fuck" and "fucking" broadcast on network television last night, but we couldn't even see a single victim during the entire film.

I understand your point but with the crashing sounds that was heard as the bodies fell .. I don't think pictures were needed ...

I think we all knew what was going on and if some didn't .. then they are pretty dang stupid and don't get it ..

That wasn't an editorial decision, that was the sensitivity of the filmmaker. He opten not to film falling and burning bodies. In his words, "Nobody should see this." I think he captured the events with professionalism rarely seen in TV documentaries these days. Ths sound of the bodies hitting the pavement and the looks on the firefighter's faces was enough for me.

The falling bodies' sound DID NOT need any film accompiament. Reminded me of a Hitchcock thriller.......you didn't need to see the blood. You knew enough.

Extremely well done documentary. I wish I would have taped it.

People jumped, it was horrible, people should see this so as to remember the horror of the attack. People bleed, it's not a cartoon, I say show it.
