Crystal Morning

Evan Coyne Maloney of Brain Terminal has edited and posted a video of 9/11, shot by eyewitness David Vogler, and backed by audio of publicly released emergency radio and phone call tapes. Well worth seven minutes of your time.

UPDATE: Peggy Noonan has listened to some of those last phone messages from doomed passengers on the 9/11 airplanes.

Something terrible had happened. Life was reduced to its essentials. Time was short. People said what counted, what mattered. It has been noted that there is no record of anyone calling to say, "I never liked you," or, "You hurt my feelings." No one negotiated past grievances or said, "Vote for Smith." Amazingly --or not--there is no record of anyone damning the terrorists or saying "I hate them."
