# :'(
It shocked me a bit the harshness of the people on the phonelines to those in the towers, but I can only assume that they had no idea how serious things would play out to be.

Was shocked to see Americans unwilling to be interviewed by someone with a camera too....

# Erm,
I think it was called 9/11: 102 minutes that changed the world.

It was made up of footage filmed on the day by New Yorkers.

I'll just double check that though....

EDIT: It doesn't seem to be on 4OD, there are a couple of others though.

# Hang on, it isn't called 9/11, just 102 minutes that changed America.

# Aye, does seem rather a harrowing prospect.
Isn't it amazing how something that happened 8 years ago, in a country on the other side of the world can still put the fear into you.

But having said that, I still cry at the end of Blackadder goes Forth and that is a sitcom.

# I watched the Blackadder anniversary show again on Friday night,
and was in tears just seeing the 10 second clip. Also, what I found utterly amazing, is that until the filming of said documentary, Ben Elton had never in fact visited the graves of Northern France.

# Yep, that and the end to Doctor Who's 'Human Nature' 2-parter, around the cenotaph.
(And the penultimate chapter of Mario Galaxy's storybook, and that's a putergame...)

# The people jumping! D:
It was respectful when one guy was filming, realised that someone had jumped and moved the camera away.

# I watched the 'falling man' documentary the other week,
that was a hard watch.

# Just saw that listed on 4OD too.
This may sound like a stupid question, but is that a whole documentary about that one dude and his family or something?

# There was more than one man that jumped
on that 102mins documentary there were loads jumping.

# Well yeah, but I mean the iconic one.

# What about the other jumpers
They don't all get tv shows :(

# It was about them all but in centred around the image of that one man.
That has to be one tough decision.

# I know.
I still to this day can't imagine being in a situation where jumping from 50 floors up is your best chance of survival :(

# It was probably a matter of how to get the quickest and least painful death.
Not a nice decision. From that height though, even if you land feet first your brain will be destroyed before you have time to feel any pain.
Just the mind numbing terror of falling to worry about.

# Oh yeah, undoubtedly.
Still, to take that jump must be a fucking awful last thing to do on earth :(

# Well it is the same as anything isn't it.
Why don't all the children of Vietnam get media coverage when there are often articles about Kim Phuc running from the Napalm attack?

People find it a lot easier to relate to someone in a picture that they have burned onto their consciences.

I seem to remember seeing a few years ago a documentary on the firemen of New York. That was pretty heartbreaking.
