My favorite band Mourning Widows recently broke up, their final show was at The Station in Warrick, RI.

Where did you guys see that footage? Any place online? The only place I saw it was at CNN.com and you need a paying membership to view movies. Bastards.

It's been on the news. It was so horrible seeing people trying to crawl out of the door and shit. It's just fucking horrible, there's no way around it...
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

They interviewed a lady that got second degree burns. But the sickest thing is she got it when she was trying to crawl out the door and a man that was on fire jumped on top of her trying to get out of the building. She got burned by a fucking human torch, how sickening is that?

that's terrible. i was surprised by how much they showed. they actually showed footage of burn victims with second and third degree burns. i wouldn't say i was sickened or horrified, just really stunned by what i saw. i was put into a daze because of how real the whole situation was. like...the world trade centers, as much as i see it, it's hard for me to think of it as real, because i have no connection to it and it just doesn't seem fathomable, even now. but this inccident really struck me because it looked like any concert i'd been to.

If anyone finds a place online with that video, please let me know. I'm sure I'll regret watching it, but I'm just curious....

It's seriously something you don't wanna see. Trust me, it made my stomach turn. What makes me sicker is that the person had a camera and recorded the death of those people, but didn't have the fucking balls to try and pull people out of the doorway.

I know. And what is worse is he probably sold the footage of that tape to CNN and other major news stations. He probably made money off the suffering and deaths of other people, while he was a coward.

Oh, that is still rather horrible. You don't videotape death, you try to be a fucking hero. That man has no compassion if he just stood back and watched nearly 100 people burn to death.

it's the common issue of journalism ethics. how far do you go to get the best footage or story? will you just stand by and watch if it gets you recognition? this guy obviously thought yes. i would never just stand and watch, and that's why i'll never be a good journalist
