National Geographic has a special called "Inside 9/11:Zero Hour." Never before had I actually seen an in-depth seemingly unbiased view on the terrorist attacks. Michael Moore's take on it just makes you feel like the US is stupid and that his fat ass could've done better. Well if michael moore had half a soul, he would've focused less on the mistakes and indecision and more on the heroic actions that took place that day. I know he only had the agenda of ousting president bush from office, but really through his methods, he exploited and used people and the huge emotional response associated with 9/11. He knew people were looking for someone to blame for what happened so he pushed the blame on the administration. I may not agree with the current administration, but i still think michael moore is an asshole for using people's emotions about one event to try to reassociate them with something else to accomplish his own agenda.
The tales of the survivors of the attacks are all about the same. There were those one or two people they saw that took control of the situation, searching floor by burning floor trying to help whoever they can. The survivors told the stories about the heroes because the survivors were the last to see them.
I think the story that sticks out most in my mind is of a couple of construction workers. On a floor just below the impact in the first tower, the door to the stairs was twisted and completely jammed. A man threw his body at it in vain screaming for help. A couple contract construction workers were in the stairwell on the floor below when they heard dull thuds coming from the door above. The man banging on the door heard a voice from the stairwell yelling "Get away from the door!" Using an axe, the construction workers destroyed the wall next to the door and freed the survivors.
There's also the story of a man that tried to climb outside the building on the 96th floor on a rope and lost his grip. All recorded.
I don't think the terrorist attacks themselves really evoke a strong response from me, but knowing the stories of those who knowingly sacrificed themselves to save people they had never met before just.. makes me speechless.
in other news.. why does beast wear just a speedo and a belt? just because you're hairy doesn't mean you get to forego clothing, i learned that lesson a while ago. And jean grey, why is she such a huge pussy? It's like her special mutant power is to faint. She's as useless as "heart" on captain planet.Current Mood:  grateful |
welcome back to lj!
i hate michael moore with my whole soul. like you said he is an indecent human being. what's more is that his single act of using people to try and prove his point (whatever that was, by the way) seems to make it less believable and less viable, to me anyways.
i just hate him. that's all :P
and i'm excited for X3 yo.

haha thanks. did you realize not that kelsey grammer is going to play beast in x3? I think that is a very good call by the casting director right there.
actually i did know about that. beast was very intelligent and always quoting people... i think kelsey grammer would be great since he played dr. frasier for all those years. and i think he's pretty tall & big-built so that would be cool

Dude, jean grey kicks ass. Especially when she gets mindraped/replaced by Phoenix and starts blowing shit up.
And remember in that sega genesis x-men game, she was always the one to bring you back to life if you fell to your death.
Oh, and michael moore is a dick.
