102 Minutes That Changed America
On More4 now...but also on YouTube...real time, minute by minute coverage of 9/11 in NYC. No voice over or narration. It's all film from bystanders and witnesses. Quite harrowing, but worthwhile viewing.

What many don't realise is that it's an ongoing tragedy, far more have died after 9/11 than died on the day itself as a direct result of the attacks. I work with a mesothelioma group and the sheer amount of people who have died and are still dying as a result of that dust cloud is absolutely staggering. You may be able to find the figures online, I'm not too good at locating things these days. But I think it was something like double and the number grows every year.
Re the dust cloud and deaths, it was on the BBC yesterday Spungle. I couldnt believe it. As of December 2023, 6,781 of those who were registered with the programme have died from an illness or cancer linked to their time near or at Ground Zero after 9/11. It is more than twice the number of people who died on 9/11. Hopefully someone can make this link work.

Sickening that there are still thousands suffering right now because of the evil acts committed by a few that day.
