I’m not going to post a link because it was a Powerpoint executable slide show that I received as an email attachment. I expect it’s making the rounds and others out there have seen it.
Most of the slides are the images we’ve seen on TV. Explosions, planes, etc. But 3 or 4 (I deleted the email completely from my account so I can’t watch it again, nor would I want to) of the slides were pictures of the people who jumped. Pictures of people as they were falling.
Why the hell do you think I need to see that??? Even the TV media isn’t showing those pictures. I know it happened, but seeing pictures isn’t going to make it better. It’s horrible, terrible, and… I can’t begin to describe it.
It’s just not appropriate. This event is going to haunt us for a long time. But now those pictures are burned into my memory. Let us heal.
If anyone is interested in seeing the slide show, I think some of my coworkers were also sent the email. I might be able to track it down. But I don’t really think you’d want to see it.
