Flight Night
I watched Flight 93 last night on A&E. Excellent - intense - jaw dropping - tear jerking. The film was put together based on conversations between Flight 93 passengers and their families and officials on the ground. According to an AP story, it was the most watched A&E program since 1984 when A&E was launched:
LOS ANGELES - A television movie about one of the doomed Sept. 11 airplanes was A&E's most-watched program ever, a sign that audiences may be ready for a coming spate of movie and TV projects dramatizing the terrorism of five years ago. "Flight 93," about the hijacking of the United Airlines plane and passengers' efforts to retake it, drew 5.9 million viewers when it premiered Monday, the cable channel said. It was the most-watched A&E program since the channel launched in 1984. [emphasis mine]
Audiences may be ready? Excuse me? The MSM has avoided airing footage ever since that day almost 4 1/2 years ago. I'm sure their supposed reasonsing is that the event was such an emotional trauma for Americans then it must not be healthy to see it aired again and again.
I call bulls**t.
The MSM doesn't air it because they don't want people to remember. They don't want them to to see those horrific images again because they want memories to fade. Why? Because support for the war on terrorism will fade. And they believe the folks certainly won't support a war against Iran when they can't even remember why we're fighting in Iraq. (And yes - the war in Iraq is part of the global war on terror).
Well I remember. Please don't you forget. And to help with that, here are pictures to remind us all here and here and here and here and here and here.
And there are thousands more out there. We need to be reminded of what was done to us. We need to stay angry about it. We need to stop Iran now before the next 9/11 is nuclear and there are 300,000 or 3,000,000 dead instead of 3,000. Note to Bush: invade Iran this year.
