history
I was perusing around the internet today and i came across a video. Now, i’m not one to rise up for my country in a patriotic way, and i don’t get teary when they sing ‘God Bless America’ at every single baseball game… but this video was incredible. On the 5th anniversary of 9/11, this couple decided to release a video of what they saw from their window. It’s the same scene we’ve all seen a thousand times by now, but from a very new perspective. Be aware that the images you see may bring you distress. Here are a few words from bob and barb:
5 years ago today, we watched and filmed the attack on the WTC out of the window of our home, 36 floors up and 500 yards away from the North Tower. Releasing this tape was a difficult decision for us because of its emotional and personal and the potential for misuse. We feel, however, that our uniqe perspective has an important historical value, and shows the horror of the day without the sountracks or hype often seen in other accounts. Please be respectful of the contents of this account and be aware that some may find the scenes on this video very disturbing. Please share only in its entirety. -Bob and Barb
