gemfyreThat 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!!*

Date: 2002-09-10 08:05 pm (UTC)I have so many questions in wonderment of the animal world. I may one day pose a few to you.
I also am intrigued and blown away by the Sep 11 disaster(s). Lets not forget that it wasn't just the buildings. The Pentagon attack itself could of been one of the biggest peices of news in decades on it's own yet the events, overall events on Sep 11, were on such a mammoth scale that we often forget that over a hundred people died in the Pentagon attack.
I am going to sit up and watch the ceremony and memorial tonight because I to can't comprehend it. I am stunned, in awe, and affected on such a deep level by it, that I want to see it all, and try to fathom it, and reconcile it internally.
