DH and I will definately NOT be watching that movie. MY DH worked in Tower 2 of the WTC on the 69th floor. He BARELY made it out. (Literally, as he was running, the towers crashed behind him). He saw death and carnage all around him and really suffered post traumatic stress. I was 4 months pregnant with our first child and in my classroom teaching when a coworker came in my room and told me to call my DH immediately. He (of course) could not be reached, I found out what was happening, and had a breakdown. I did not get in touch with my DH for 4 hours. All believed him to be dead. Finally around 11:30, we were reunited. Just typing this right now, I am hysterical crying. I actually had to go to the obgyn that day to have a sono because I thought I lost the baby. (HE was fine thak God). My doc still says he'll never forget the day when we saw him and my DH was covered in soot head to toe and I was as pale as a ghost. Scariest day of my life!!!
So no...I will never see this movie...DH and I lived it.

Ill watch on DVD where I can be a blubbering mess in the privacy of my home.

After The Notebook, I dont think I could take the movies for things like that anymore.

What's weird, is that I have watched different programs on the History channel and A&E about the theories of 911 and about the man who predicted it. I found them very interesting, and although I cried as I watched it, I get a totally different feeling about this movie. It's just wrong.

I think sitting in my office looking out my window at the hole in the ground that was once WTC is enough for me. I think its disgusting and greedy that they have made a movie about it already. That's Hollywood.
