    I find them boring now. After you have seen a few of them you have seen them all.

    Nothing fascinatig about it, OP posts at 21.27, Discovery/Nat Geo/Eden etc, all show their primetime docu's between 2100-2200.

    You'll have missed the half of 'The Dog Whisperer' at this stage OP.:eek:

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,109 ✭✭✭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.
