    Yeah i found it very good in part the guy from Dublin who was a firefighter and then went to Iraq after 9/11, fair play to him.
    Also the issue of the health problems affecting the people who worked on ground zero is something that needs to get more media coverage.

    Yeah i saw that, most docs on 9/11 refuse to show the jumpers, it really does bring a tear to your eye when you see it.

    My Aunt was interviewed on that program,she lost her husband Martin that day.Her interview was recorded last May,she gave them the answering machine tapes that have Martin's last 2 phone calls on them.I heard them not long after it happened and never want to hear them again,so i didnt watch it tonight,too hard.
    IMO showing the ppl who jumped is sick:mad:.

    I think it's almost being treated like "Paddy's Day" which is sick. Apart from the endless tv shows, I heard a regional radio show dedicate their last hour to American music "for the day that's in it". Shocking and sick. You'd swear it was like the 4th of July, or Paddy's Day. 1000s of people died tragically.......

    I think the worst part of them showing the jumpers is the noise they made when they hit the ground...mind numbing!!

    Fair play (and then some) to anyone who was in the emergency services that day

    But the fact that he went off to an illegal war afterwards = sickening!
