More stuff about today
Sep. 11th, 2002 10:00 amThat I meant to write before.
Most people I know aren't watching any of the stuff, and I can understand that.
It's still shocking and terrible that it all happened but I still want to see the footage because I am just intrugued by the mechanics of it all. That it COULD happen, how well executed it all was. They hit the corner, not the middle because a hit in the middle and the tower could possibly have stood, hitting a corner destroyed the support structure. How once the top floors came loose and started falling there was no hope for the rest of the building because the weight of previous floors just kept increasing until they all crashed down and pancaked into a smoking heap.
I think it's probably just my clinical mind, the same one that makes my find biology as my forte. There is no wrong or right, things just... are. That's how I try and see most stuff. I mean hell, I get emotional, just ask anyone who knows me well. :) But I can also snap around and be the most unfeeling, clinical bitch around. For my line of work I'm gonna hafta be. In the animal kingdom there is no subjectivity. They just live to survive and procreate, no more. (I'll stick up my personal essay "slaves to the nucleic acid" sometime, this will all make more sense)
Hrm, prolly more to write here but I can't think of it, maybe I'll ramble more later as I do.
But now essay, yes yes I will I will I will!! *argh!!*
