9/11 season.

Looks like it's that time again the documentaries have begun,don't know about others but I still find it kind of facinating if I'm honest.

Boombastic

Oh no, not again. Has nothing happened since?

I wonder how long America will continue milking the 9/11... I wonder if in the year 2067 they'll still be showing 9/11 documentaries on September 11th...

The 9/11 faker was the best documentary I've ever watched. And the children of 9/11 I think it was called, was unbelievably sad but a brilliantly made documentary.

Fascinating and heartbreaking all at the same time

It's on TV3 for two bloody hours.It is starting to get old fairness.

Im watching the program but it doesn't shock me (never really did tbh) I think it's interesting though. I still wonder about it though. Why did it take so long to fall?
I also hate the Americans "how dare they do this to us" attitude. Maybe if they weren't such scabs for oil it wouldn't have happened.

MaxSteele

I wish they would just have they're annual 9/11 memorial day and shut the Fu*k up about it already. 11 years later and still harping on about it.

All that came out of it were two disastrous wars and an even worse reputation.

You gotta like the Brits when it comes to things like this, they were on the tube the next day after 7/7 with a life goes on attitude and nothings going to change or stop us.

New York Deaths toll 2,752

London 7/7 Death toll 52

No disrespect to any of the victims or families of both the above.

Bombings are'nt exactly new in London.

I was more interested in the Extreme Engineering docs on Nat Geo about the new One Word Trade Center and the 9/11 memorial.

But I did like a doc that was on Nat Geo last year showing all the footage from the firemen's perspective in and within the towers. I don't know if anybody remembers, a priest was with them and he died when the ceiling collapsed (he was the first registered death of the disaster) and the reunion of two firefighter brothers who thought the other had been killed. It was actually a brilliant documentary and I think I've still kept it on sky+.

Unless you are under the age of 23, in which case you can be forgiven for not fully understanding what was going on when the attacks took place.

I simply find it impossible to believe that anyone mature enough to possess a shread of concsiousness at the time could not be shocked by what happened.

I'm 18. Obviously on the day I was shocked but I got over it quickly and have been over it since.

I think the Americans will forget about 9/11 when we hear nothing more about what happened in 1966 from across the Irish Sea.

How are they harping on? They dont force foreign tv stations to put documentaries on each year. What they do on their own national stations is their own business.

I'm 18 as well and I remember that day very clearly. I was in 2nd class and we were stopped and told about. My sister's where in secondary school at the time and all the classes were stopped and the TVs were turned on to see the towers fall. I remember coming home and seeing it all over the news and the increasing progression of damage.

I was very young but it was still pretty shocking even then. After seeing that documentary last year which was so much more personal to the people, it did really hammer home how shocking it was which I obviously couldn't have grasped as easily either at that age.

A full week of it, great.

Ah thats fair enough.

Nobody would expect someone of the age of 7 to absorb the impact of what happened that day.

I believe the whole scab for oil allegations came out after 9/11 but think whatever you want.

That kind of remark is a kin to somebody saying well if the Irish weren't such scabs for potatoes maybe the famine never would have happened...how many of the thousands killed on the day were involved in importing oil?

I'd have a bit more sympathy for them if they had'nt bombed the living bejaysus out of the middle east,kind of turned people against them I think.

I'm 20, yet I still remember where I was, how I heard about it, watching it on tv, and knowing the severity of it.

They still do. Also over here the History channel was showing some Irish based shows on St. Patricks Day.

I see the US propaganda machinery is working

I'd love to see a documentary about hundreds and thousands of people who have died since 9/11 as a result of the "war on terror" to be honest.
9/11 was a sad sad day for the human race but almost every day since has been worse due to some of the decisions those in power made using 9/11 as an excuse.

Yeah I remember it well too. We were on a half day for some reason and came home and watched it on the news all day. I remember that all my mam could say was "wow" She kept saying it over and over

No I don't suppose I did quite grasp it at the time. Don't get me wrong, I feel for all the families and for the victims, really I do, in the same way that I feel for the families and victims of the many attacks in the middle east carried out by the Americans. There are two sides in a war and I don't see why I should be more shocked by 9/11 than I am about the many oil-fueled killings in the middle east.

And I suppose you'll shut the **** up already about 1916 over there. 300 years, etc. ... eleven years.

Troll much? I believe it was blight that caused the famine and not our love of potatoes.

Overheal

This documentary only came out in the last year, if you haven't seen it or it's not on TV. Narrated by Tom Hanks, short run time, but very good.

Otherwise it was an aspect of September 11 I was completely oblivious to, but it's a great story.

Depends on how you look at it. The Blight caused the potato shortage, the Famine was caused by the shortage of potatoes, in an agricultural economy that was heavily invested in potatoes and not enough of anything else.

What's your basis? You were suggesting 9/11 was deserved because they were scabs for oil. Before 9/11 what wars were waged in the cause for oil? The first Gulf war in which they left? The UN had structured the oil trade agreements for Iraq. Please re-write history to make your point. Put forward some Facts to back it up, not just conspiracies.

krudler

Its probably the biggest "where were you when it happened" of this generation. I was on holidays in the Canary islands, was very hungover went out with a friend to get breakfast and saw loads of people crowded around a pub tv, walked in to see what happened just before the 2nd plane hit. was a real sense of what the hell is happening the world right now that day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVhhu5OjMf8

Its still chilling watching the live footage, its a clip you've seen countless times since but when you watch it in context with the news anchors narrating it as it happens it puts into perspective the feeling of confusion and that something history changing was happening on live tv.
