Flight 93....
Anyone going to see it?
I'll see it and hopefully feel for what happened... I literally have no emotional attachment to 9/11 and the events surrounding the attacks. I was on my mission while it happened and I remember the day like it was yesterday. We get out of a zone conference, (guess what Johnny I was zone leader and assistant) I head to my favorite restaurant in my area to get some great arabic food, the tv in the restaurant is on, I see the Twin Towers burning and the line on the tv reads, 'USA under attack'... I look to the Elder I was with, say check that out, he looks at it, we look at each other, shrug our shoulders and walk out of the restaurant.... We eat lunch, make no mention of what is going on, start working, tract into a home where the lady asks my companion if he was American, and if he was what he was doing on the street as our country is being attacked, we set an appointment with her, look at each other again, shrug our shoulders and move to the next home... The next morning I purchase the morning paper, see the imagery of what is going on, show my companion, read the articles, shrug our shoulders and work the whole next day.. While I find the events horrifying, insane, malicious, etc, I find the emotional attachment I feel to it on par with the emotional feelings I have on the great travesties of the past century, I view them as horrible incidents but lack a sense of personal feeling associated with the events..... Maybe this movie will help me... |

On the contrary, I still get quite emotional about it. I have a very tough time watching footage of the building on fire or coming down.

I cant wait to see it. My dad was accross the street from the pentagon on 9/11 so he witnessed the event first hand. We didnt hear from him for about 12 hours when he could get a phone that worked. Micheal Medved said that the film was well done so I am excited to see it.

Anyone believe this plane was shot down? On one of the first dates I went on after the mission I was told by the mother of the girl I was picking up, that she believed the flight 93 was shot down... |

THere are some great conspiracies about a missle hitting the pentagon and not a plane. The big one is there was no wreckage, planes leave wreckage. The second thing was all the stores with surveillance in the area immediately had their surveillance videos taken within minutes of the so called plane crashing.

I have the same thoughts about BYU's BYU's NC in '84. I was in Italy when it happened so it doesn't seem real. Perhaps someone should make a movie about it, eh?
