Airing of 9/11 Documentary
 

CBS will be airing a Documentary of 9/11. What is your opinion on this and are you going to be watching it?:confused:

I won't be watching and neither will those whose families were involved in the tragedy.CBS should be ashamed of itself.Money always talks.

When is it airing???
Yes I will watch it if I am available to.
Yes there will be some families watching it.
Yes it is a money maker.
Yes it is in-moral in some peoples eyes.
Yes Cbs should be ashamed of themselves because it should be done as an aniversiary track. IMHO
Yes alot of people will hate it.
Yes alot of people will be tuned into it.
Yes I will catch hell for this :):D

Now when is it??:confused:

I heard on fox news that on some parts of the tape you can hear bodies hit the pavement around the camera man.they don't show them but there is no mistaking the sounds.That might be a little much for some people but it sure is for real.Reality TV at it's most extreme.I will watch it as we all should watch it.This is something that we should never forget,And a show like this will give the full impact of the event:(

STILL AT A LOSS FOR WORDS !!! regardless of what the networks choose to air our hearts will always be with those directly affected by what happened up there and in Pa. and Wash.
cannot say i fwe will be viewing this or not...

I believe the time for airing is Sunday, March 10th 9pm EST. That's tonight...

If the network does this in an appropriate manner I have no problem with it. I believe the country does need reminding of why we are at war and I hope they show that in the program. I just don't want to see any liberal touchy feely "lets understand them" garbage the media has a habit of turning out.

I think that every time they show a pic of a bomb dropping on Taliban/Al Queda positions it should be followed by a pic from the WTC site. Just keep the proper perspective on why we are there.

Amen to that!

I must watch this !! I am a professional Firefighter and lost a couple of close friends that were on the job that day. One friend in particular is shown on this film several times rescuing people and leading them to saftey before he paid the supreme sacrifice. I feel this will help me in the healing process, because these Firefighters died doing what each and everyone of us is trained and loves to do.... Help others .which is exactly what there were doing. Just my opinion


Thanks,

I agree with Otis311, Being a firefighter, and as one who was at the WTC site for a few days, I too, feel it will help me appreciate even more , the job we do. I lost friends in that tradgedy, as many people did. What i saw while i was there will be imbedded in my mind forever. It was horrible and i wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. But i also feel that people who were not there will never fully realize the proportion and horror of that day.

I see people softening up already, having "compassion" for our enemys. And as Playn says All the "liberal humanitarian B.S." going around. I think we need a kick in the ass to remind us of what happened . This program might just be it!!

I watched it happen in "real time" . Once is enough for me.

If this helps someone heal , then I guess its worth it.

Every fire fighter and police officer that responded to that disaster, alive or dead, should recieve military recognition such as the Purple Heart or Medal of Honor. And the families of those lost should receive military benifits.

I will watch it, and I know that I will be shocked, horrified,sad and mad all over again. I will also again silently thank all the firemen,police,and volunteers who helped or gave their lives to save lives. I will also thank our people and allies who are over there now kicking their ass's for doing this to our people.

I will not watch it because I refuse to support the idea that the networks seem to have about profiting from the misfortune of others. This tragedy does need to stay in the minds of the American people, as well as the entire free world, but not to allow the network to profit from it. No matter what they may say, they would not be doing this if there wasn't profit in it.

I Disagree
 

I am watching this as we speek, We all need to be refreshed on what had happened here in this great country of ours!
As we go amoung our every day chores I look at life a little differant, My wife my kids my family and all my fiends the love we must carry for each other and the reality of some BASTERDS that want to take our dreams away. This is something that we all need as a reminder to evertime we here some die hard tree hugger cry about how bad we are traeting the prisoners in Cuba, They should have been in the lobby when poor innocent people jumbed to there deaths and heard that traggic sound that those Fireman heard! My Heart My Soul and My Prayers go out to all that were involved ( GOD BE WITH THEM ALL )

It was a terrible day.

I'm with Troutly. I watched it, and recorded it. Someday I'll show it to my children and they'll have a first hand record of our countries history, and watch the great people of this country as they all jump to help one another.

I have nothing but respect, admiration, and thankfulness towards the public service workers of this country. (well, unless they're giving me a speeding ticket, I gotta draw the line somewhere...LOL!) BUt seriously, it makes me think how meaningless what I do for a living really is when I see things like that. We should all be thankful for what we have and the country we live in.

It has to be much harder for someone to watch that lost someone, though, and I sympathize with them, although I don't know what they are going through and have gone through.

This goes out to all our safety personel as well as our people in the military, and I can't say this enough.....THANKS!!! May God Bless You All.....

Well said Troutly! I couldn't believe how cool headed they all remained in that lobby. They knew what was making those loud bangs outside but still remained calm...REAL AMERCAN HEROES!!!

I thought it was a phenomenal program, deep down and real.I couldnt believe all the fallen firefighters pictures at the end , so many wives, children and families..... my god.:( :(

Just finished watching it. Extremely well done.

:(

I too watched it and thought that it was a very good program. I have no problem with CBS for doing what they did. I think if you watched it you would understand because it was more than just the buildings.

For those of you who are firefighters, who pays for all the groceries that they use in the firehouse? Those were some pretty big steaks those guys were cooking ;) and I was just wondering!

Jeff

I too watched and recorded this very important part of our history. I lost several friends on 9/11 and amd a firefighter as well. I also think that CBS did this VERY TASTEFULLY.

Crazyhorse, before you say things as strongly as you just did, may I suggest you think about it first. The events on 9/11 were an important part of this world's history. Do you think the viewing of fotage from Pearl Harbor shown by the networks is wrong? I bet you have watched many times that traggic event as we all have. Furthermore, there were NO COMMERCIALS and just small mention of the primary sponsor of the program. I feel certain that neither CBS nor NEXTEL made and ran this program for financial gain, but I TRULY believe they did this out of the compasion they have for those who perished, their friends and families,and the countless volunteers that gave so freely and selflessly in such a time of need. And a HUGE thanks to the men and women who have fought and are presently fighting and those who will wage future wars to PROTECT our FREEDOM!

Thanks to CBS, NEXTEL, the men of Engine 1 Ladder 7 and all who brought this powerful documentary to us. I think ALL AMERICANS should watch this so they are reminded as to why we have a military and why standing up for what is right is so important. If you saw the 60 MINUTES segment on CBS at 7 it was a tremendous segway to the documentary at 9. These cowards were givent the worlds ULTIMATE GIFT! The ability to live, study, and work inthe GREATEST LAND IN THE WORLD! They knew it, they abused it, and they exploited it. Their leaders and commarades will now pay the price for their cowardice actions.

worldchampioncigarette, what the hell does Miller owning a boat have ANYTHING to do with this? And yes he has owned several boats and is a GREAT GUY who volunteered with DJD many days at Ground Zero! And yourself?

Info for HP500efi ; All the firemen working on a shift chip in for all their meals. each shift has their own food pantry .:)

VinMan, thanks. I always wondered and after watching that show last night, it really made me wonder.

Those guys are truely a tite nit family. :D

I too thought it was well done.
I get angered all over again after watching that. It still shocks me to see all the video, and pictures.
I want to thank all the people that are in those type of jobs (policeman,fireman,...etc)

By far the best TV I have seen in my life. I was glued to the TV for the entire show and goose bumps ran up and down me for two hours. I wish I had taped it but I was too awstruck to get up. This gives this whole disaster a face and a meaning. We should all be as humble as those rescue folks. They were doing there job and not one glorified or sensationalized the event. True professionals. I am sold on our public servents. They deserve everything we can give them. SO GIVE.:D

Shane,
Very well put, you took the words right out of my mouth.. or fingers i should say

I cried my eyes out thru the whole thing :(

At first, I had just walked in and turned on the channel -- I didn't realize what show it was. Just some firemen cooking steaks and teasing the "Proby" guy. Life in the firehouse. Then I saw NYFD on one shirt and thought this might be an "AFTER" attack show.

But then when the entire squad went to the funeral of the rookie Fireman in the Bronx and saw the date was Sept 3, my stomach got tight and I thought "OH NO!!....... I do NOT want to keep watching this.....!!"

I nearly changed the channel.

I just knew that this program was going to end with all these 'brothers" perishing together, and I couldnt stand it. That's when the tears began to roll.....

When I saw the firemen heading upstairs in Tower 1, inside me I yelled for them to stop and come back. But I kept watching, and sensing everything those men felt. Compassion, Bravery, Selflessness, Fear, Hopelessness, Anger, Hate, ....Pain. So many emotions those who lived had to face, & what those who didn't had to endure.

What hero's they are! Putting their lives on the line for an entire city of strangers. Brave as our soldiers in Afghanistan.

That was the most powerful show I've ever seen.



To all the "soldiers" who selflessly protect our safety.....Thank you!!
