Tmrw morning....

[DoubleDown]

just as an FYI - MSNBC is also showing their on-air coverage from 9/11/01 with the then Today Show crew (i.e. Katie Couric, Al Roker, et al.)

I am watching this right now at work on MSNBC... it's really very difficult to watch this again. Just the shots of the towers, the smoke billowing over Lower Manhattan... but I can't change the channel. This is very surreal.

I may watch if they do it like 20 years from now, but I still have a pretty good recollection of what happened that morning

Vike - you'd be surprised, I thought I had a really good recollection of the day's events. Also watching this broadcast is not just about remembering the details of 9/11. Depending on how closely you connected with this event, it's fairly emotional watching this.

MSNBC's real-time coverage of 9/11 is actually pretty good.

for some reason i don't get emotional in the least when hearing about/watching 9/11 stuff. obviously i didn't lose anyone and that plays a large part, but in general i'm no more upset about 9/11 than pearl harbor.

When I click the link nothing happens, it just reloads the same 'Launch CNN pipeline now'

Anybody know a solution?

I don't live in NY, nor have I lost anyone, or know of anyone who lost anyone on that day.

But I am listening to the msnbc rebroadcast, and it's very hard not to get emotional about it. I'm actually suprised how much it's affecting me today.

Daryn - I used to live in Tribeca for 3.5 years, couple blocks from WTC. I moved to SF like 3 months before 9/11 went down. So just from a "holy [censored] that is my old neighborhood" perspective, I guess I felt pretty connected to the event. And I had a bunch of friends who worked in WTC at the time also.

I was in SF when this went down... and only the people who used to live in Manhattan, or had close family / friends there, felt very emotional about it. Most other people were kind of like "whoah that is f'ed up", but got over it relatively quickly.

go to msnbc. CNN's seems to have overloaded.

No thanks.

Since 9/11 gave me flashbacks to another horrible event I went through, I see no reason to revisit either situation. I can talk about them, and whatever...but reliving gruesome experiences is not my idea of a good use of my time.
