Thank you for sharing that, **Diane**.

The tears just don’t seem to want to stop, do they?

Here’s another beautiful tribute: [http://usa.corporateclicks.com/](http://usa.corporateclicks.com/)

That was very moving.

The only thing that I didn’t like are pictures of the jumpers. I’d managed to not see any of them. Until just now. ☹

I agree Blue, the jumper footage is a little too gruesome for the overall touching tribute that is that site.

I could have done without it, and been just as moved and saddened

Damn, now I’m bawling like a baby. Anybody know when someone’s going to make DVDs available of the events? I’m tired of looking all this stuff on my PC.

Quite nice.

And I’m glad they included the jumpers - that struck me as part of the humanity of the horror.

We have, indeed, met the worst of humanity with the best of humanity.

☹

Touching.

But…  
I kind of got distracted by the “hijacked hijacked hijacked MURDER” words-flying-around bit, though. I felt that detracted from its impact, because it reminded me of the low-budget commercials I used to see for a used-car dealership.

_renewed shock_  
_deep anguish_  
_intense anger_  
_horror_

_lump in throat_

Thank you, **Diane**.
