The one thing I really am appreciating is the personal angle a lot of the stories that are coming out now.

I talked with a lady in my office who worked only a few blocks away from the WTC about how she emerged from the subway minutes before they shut it down, only to find total chaos. About them sneaking back into the building to get a coworkers shoes so they could get home. Climbing the stairs and feeling the the earth shake as the first building came down.

The TLC TV specials were really enlightening too. If you havent seen them you should, they are on Saturday again from 8-10pm

Heroes of the 88th Floor, about the guys who climbed up to help people escape the floors above them, only to lose thier lives when the towers collapsed.

The other, Flight 175: As the World Watched, about the 2nd plane that crashed. Where the guy on the plane was on the phone with his mom as it impacted.
