 9/11 - Cpt. Flack
Last night I watched three documentaries/ dramas about 9/11. This was no exception as I've probably seen every one made since that date. The professional and amateur footage as well as the fringe "conspiracy" theory films that pervade the internet.

This anniversary was no exception with minimal additional new accounts and footage across terrestrial and satellite channels intermingled with previous interview stories and archive film. For years I have been interested and enthralled by the filmwork, the collapse and accounts of those involved, survived or were bereaved.

This event is always marked with reverence as seen on the news, but is it time to let go from the documentary aspect?

I would hope the yearly hunger by TV companies for transmitting the already worn footage will lessen after the 10th. anniversary. Frankly I'm tired of it now. The shock of witnessing it live on TV, the sympathy for those that died and those left bereaved had a profound effect on me. Especially for colleagues in the NY fire department, I could empathize with.

I have seen every aspect/angle of this attack through the eyes of witnesses, emergency workers and the relatives and the all encompassing film footage. My thoughts are with them at this time. It is a time for private thoughts.

Is it now time to stop this annual film feste?

Yes report it as you would any anniversary of a happening on this scale and commemorate it at ground zero.Surely there is nothing left to show or comment on documentary wise. It must open "wounds" for those involved to see these images every year. What do others think.
