United 93

I have been addicted to 9/11 documentaries the past several weeks. There is one in particular that is really good on the Discovery Channel , the title of which escapes me at the moment. But its about 2 hours and tells all these amazing stories about people that were trapped in the two towers and how they escaped. One dude even saw the plane coming at him and got under his desk and it shielded him from the blast and he fell a floor or two into the rubble and was deaf from the sound but kept yelling until a brave guy from a floor below found him and they actually got out in time b4 it fell to the ground.

I also watched United 93. I had a really hard time putting it in, because its not something you put in to enjoy per se. However I thought the decision to do the film in real time was great. It really gave you a sinking feeling inside. I was really proud of how those passengers took control of that plane and avoided what could have led to even more deaths. They knew they were going to die, so they took charge and essentially began the action of taking back our country. Although this is a very sad and depressing film to behold, there is a light to it that shines very bright.

9/11 still makes me angry. You feel hopeless and and after 5 years of questionable actions it makes you feel even more helpless. Everyone should still be angry but proud of our country and continue to encourage change.
