    I wonder how many people on the ground were killed just because they were nosey and had a morbid facination to stand there and see what was going on. So many people standing around after coming out of the towers...I would be running like the wind!

    I'm watching QI and laughing at Alan Davies childish jokes - it's about all I can cope with tonight.

    I think any tragedy hits you hard if you can empathise with those affected. I remember when Sarah Payne went missing - I didn't want to let mine out of my sight. I had to remember to keep things in perspective.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    as if I were intruding in their grief.

    Thats why i didn't/couldn't/won't watch it. To me those last phone calls were too personal.

    I was in school when 9/11 happened and up untill last year had collected the sun/mirror/daily times for 4 weeks after it happened. last year I decided to recycle them. Will never ever forget that day though. I kinda had some facination with it ~ in a good way. Its like some that are older than me remember the JFK murder or the John Lennon (is that the one?) murder but I remember 9/11, princess dianna, Dunblane and the Queen Mothers death. Sad life sometimes isnt it....
