Anyone else having problems watching TV tonight without having tears in their eyes? The videos with the children who lost parents are really tough to watch.

I paid my moment of tribute earlier today. Now I'm relaxing and watching other stuff. I don't really enjoy the hours and hours of the type of tribute stuff the media loves to focus on, but everyone grieves in their own way.

I am with you. We should pay a moments tribute and I have. I feel that the familys of these people need to go on with their lives and not have to relive it constantly like they are doing on TV. I feel that its a disgrace to the victims and their families.

My thoughts and prayers go up for everyone. God Bless America, and all the other countries.

The same goes for me. If the media didn't hype everything so bad, don't you think these people would be recovering faster?

No. Have you ever grieved a murdered loved one? It's different.

Besides everyone I know is doing just fine, or as well as can be expected or however you want to phrase it.

amyjo

yes we have had some cousins murdered out west a few years ago from drug deals and gangs.

Everyone grieves in their own way. I imagine some people are comforted by all the media attention because they know that their loved one has not been forgotten.

For others, it may be painful and I expect they avoided the TV and papers today. Neither is better; just a personal choice.

I watched because I feel I have to, and yes it was very emotional.

I watched the documentary that Robert de Niro introduced. It had film that (I think) has not been shown before - at least I'd never seen it. 2 Frenchmen had been filming a rookie fireman to make a documentary, so they were with that station on 9/11 and went to the towers - and they were filming inside the South Tower. They took a lot of dramatic film there, and then more as everyone ran outside after the North Tower collapsed. The most amazing thing in the whole documentary is that that engine company didn't lose a single man. It has been called the miracle company.
