Re: I'll pass

Try looking up the word 'morbid'. "Reading about such things in much detail" my ass. This is like those "Faces of Death" videos. No better, no worse. I won't watch 'em. I won't willingly read/hear these last moments either.

I know what morbid means, honest. I wouldn't watch the faces of death videos though, they had no historical significance. I only care about things in the historical sense, I explain it later in response to Boxley's post. I don't expect you to understand, only fellow historians and researchers can.

I still am grateful to you for telling me how to read the NYT because I have wanted for years to be able to access it. So my thanks there are sincere.

Edit: And the other thing you don't really realize, is what was so great that I read in the NYT was not the actual transcripts anyway. It was a wonderful article entitled "Fresh Glimpse in 9/11 files of the struggles for survival", that told the story of two very heroic men and how they saved over 40 people, (I believe it was 40) and that was telling the story of heroes, at least for me. And let there be no doubt, that I have nothing but the utmost respect for every person involved in that disaster, both those that survived and those that did not.
