Did anyone watch that on Channel 4?

I watched the last 15 minutes of it, and I was bawling my eyes out.

All that Twin Towers business didn't affect me back in 2001 when I was 17/18, but GOD! Watching that I was crying so much.

It was so moving. :(

    I watched it, I dont know why I watch programmes about this cos all it does is upset me.

    No matter how many programmes I've seen about it, I still cant believe it actually happened.

    I agree, it was moving. I find it hard to watch anything about the twin towers, especially since my recent visit to the wreckage it kinda gives me to much of an idea of the devastation. I dont want to image it. :crying:

    What was so emotional about it?

    I've seen worse.

    Dunno, just moved me really. I'm a girl and felt a need to have a wee bubble. Ha.

    I watched it. Didn't find it interesting, didn't find it emotional. I don't see why anyone would find any benefit from naming one of the people who decided to jump that day - regardless of their life history, achievements, family - nobody in that building deserved what happened. Being able to put a name to one of them changes nothing, all it does is put the family of that person through more pain and anguish.

    I'd have jumped, given the choice.

    I found it both interesting and emotional to watch!

    I think that was the point though, his story came out, most of the others didn't. At least not in so public a way.
