Watered down 9-11 videos

[Dzone]

Last night I turned on the radio and heard a guy talking about all the videos shown on the news lately of the 9-11 attacks. He said they no longer show people jumping to their deaths and they just show far off distant pics of the towers burning. He said it looks like the media is trying hard not to offend Muslims by not showing any of the horrific graphics we saw that day.

i dont believe the media is trying not to offend anyone. that actually sounds kinda silly...i just think that we remember...we dont need to see that yr after yr...gotta let some of that go, to heal, but not too forget!!! a man, 2 or 3, jump out a window...that horrible...those towers coming down and killing thousands, thats horrific!!! i dont mean to disrespaect those that decided to end it on their own term, but it was bigger than the jumpers....

This isn't the case at all. Whoever that was that you were listening to is a friggin idiot. I watched a few of the things on 9/11 and they showed plenty of the videos with people jumping. As a matter of fact, one station even spoke of the people jumping and intentionally focused on them and showed them jumping along with the entire fall. Whoever that was on the radio is just trying to sensationalize the issue and keep the anti muslim sentiment going.
I'd like to know why nobody talks about building 7 coming down. It wasn't even hit by a plane. They don't talk about it because it was imploded.

Yeah, I think He also was saying that peeps are afraid of making people mad at the muslims. God forbid that anyone be rude to a muslim, we gotta be careful not to hurt their feelings...I didnt watch any of the news this weekend so I cant comment on what was shown.
