9/11 Programs

Plaid Pants2 — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 01:15:04 GMT

I just took a quick glance at my line-up for television programming tomorrow, and there isn't really isn't anything that's dedicated to 9/11.

I think that's sad.

I just have basic cable.

While I think programs like this are educational for those who were too young to remember or were not born yet, I vividly remember that day and all the overkill on details that followed endlessly and will never forget. I don't really want to see it over and over again! I would hate to be family of those who lost their lives to have to relive it and even fell obligated to participate. While some may want to, I sure would want my privacy.

I don't need to watch TV to remember that day. I lived thru it. I honor the victims by doing something that they were robbed of...going on with my life.

There were quite a few shows on in the last few days here....

I can't watch. I watched some of them in the past and it is just too sad, and it ramps up my anxiety something terrible...

You HOPE the ending will be different and it is not...

One of the programs was filmed as it happened, and it ends with an entire line up of all the first responders who lost thier lives...That show was so chilling..the sounds and sights as it happened...

My flag is out. Put your flag out if you have not already. I will be thinking and remembering the event today as a way to honor the dead.

Something I do is play "Going Home" on my accordion at sunset. I do not use the buttons and it sounds a LOT like bagpipes. I jsut go out in my yard and play to the woods and sky...

I recall when I lived in NYC, my Dad used to take us to watch the construction of the towers and to see the first landings and takes offs of the first 747's at LaGuardia airport. Seems like a million years ago...

Check out "Going Home-Libera" on You Tube or any version with bagpipes.

i have already seen quite a bit of coverage. awaiting commemoration of the fall of one of the towers at the White House/Ground Zero. let's remember the innocent victims of 9/11, all those who responded, and also that we have troops still fighting this around the world.

Our NYC stations are covering the ceremony live right now.

Every year I say I will not watch, but somehow I'm always drawn to it. I remember the day as if it were yesterday. We were changing classes when I first heard the news. There were numerous students in our school who lost loved ones. Todd Beamer was from the next community.

I don't need to view the holocaust of those planes flying into those buildings and the horrible pics of the victims again. I can't handle that anymore. I choose to quietly pray for our world instead.

I'm sure there are many programs available online.

@SydneyH @Plaid Pants2 @Bri36 @Patriot3 @Cakers3 @lovesallanimals @sidsmom @meallen616 @Preds @Pook @FrostyBabe1 @Othereeeen @jackthebear @ms traditional @lulu2 ..... this date is always a very sad/emotional one for me regardless of what kind of TV coverage there might be. I lost two friends who were Port Authority Police Officers. They lost their lives while trying to save others: Officer John P. Skala and Officer Alfonse J. Niedermeyer. They are missed. May they rest in peace.

For TV programing it is just marketing. I will not be watching.

The History Channel always has programs; have to check the Smithsonian Channel too.

Yes the weather is the same today as it was 16 years ago. I live about 60 miles from Shanksville Pa - will never forget any of it.

I am disappointed that "As It Happened" didn't seem to be on this morning - I have watched it every year pn CNN or MSNBC. It showed what happened in "real time" - what was on NBC that morning as it was happening.

I think it's important to watch programming - as horrific as it was I think you tend to forget HOW horrific.

To each his own though.

Replaying the horror and saddness on TV for hours at a time on EVERY CHANNEL competing for their market share $$$$and viewership. Just not necessary. remembrance is fine.... but the news and TV channels go overboard and it is not for remembrance anymore. I can have my opinion. You can have yours. If you enjoy watching it over and over and over again. enjoy.
