<p>I really appreciate the review Digmedia has provided here… my gut says I will see this movie… not sure if I will see it in the theater or not, but I do like the idea that we don’t really get to “know” the passengers any more than we would normally on a plane ride. </p>
<p>I am no longer going to question the “profit motive” because of the extensive participation and inclusion of the families… they understand exploitation better than I do… and their agreement to go forward says it is a story they want told. </p>
<p>One of the men I work with had an only child, a daughter, recent college grad, working for a Big 8 acct firm, who had to fly from Logan to west coast for a 2 week assignment (she had been at the firm for about a month) and he encouraged her to change her flight from 1 airline to another, an airline he traveled a lot. Needless to say, that was the first flight to hit the towers…and he was horrified to think he had sent her to her death… later that day, he realized thru the fog of his grief, that the 2nd plane was the original flight she had booked. In some ways, this was a small gift from God, taking the blame of putting her on the other airline, off of his shoulders. There are thousands and thousands of such “stories” and perhaps the sharing of these stories, in any form, including CC, is cathartic?</p>
