It has been ten years since my first week at Boise West Carwash. It has been ten years since air planes were the horror in every person's dream. It has been ten years since they played the footage over and over again for hours straight for days.
The news for some reason cannot get enough of terrorizing viewers. Every single day for the past ten years, they have played the smoking towers. Every day, they play footage of the airplanes colliding with the buildings.
When they play this footage, they are airing people getting murdered. When they air this footage, they are airing people dieing. They are showing people falling to their death. Knock it off. It is already FRIED into our brains. For the ten year anniversary, I would like to not see that footage EVER again. Not to be insensitive, we get the point. Stop playing it and give people their dignity.
It appears that people care more about World Trade Center. What about the other flights. Wasn't one at the Pentagon? We are so obsessed with media addict New York. I can imagine what history books will look like. "The tragic events happened to the World Trade Center. Oh and by the way, the last plane crashed in a field."
The only detail I like is that people are airing stories of survival and putting lives back together again. I have been reading stories about what people are going through mentally and physically. I saw a story about a search and rescue dog that retired. A lady looking for her fiance during the tragic event got married.
