The 9/11 Documentary craze has gone way too far
On A&E right now: Trapped in the Twin Towers: The Elevators of 9/11

An entire one-hour show about the elevators of the WTC on 9/11??? What's next, a show about the stairwells? :crazy:

1. I just had a terrible image rush through my head
I pictured people riding in an elevator, just looking at their watches, avoiding eye contact, listening to the muzak. Then cut to outside and all these first responders running everywhere, sirens, fire trucks...then back into the elevator with the nice folks and their briefcases. Kind of like that scene from "The Blues Brothers".

I'm going to hell, I know.

2. No. It was about the PEOPLE trapped in the elevators,
and how they survived.

3. 'The Elevators of 9/11'?
Obviously the sequel to "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg."

5. More gratuitous fear-mongering
in pursuit of ratings and fulfillment of the Republican agenda. :thumbsdown:

8. Yeah
It makes me sick how they've exploited the situation so much for the sake of money, power and political gain.
