I was shocked to see on television a program showing the so called last moments and messages of the people who did not survive the twin towers disasters. I thought this was voyarism at it's worst. How could anyone watch this. I could not believe that anyone thought these private messages could be aired. T.V. in Britain is going from bad to worse. Within minutes I had to turn this program off when I realised what it was reporting on.
Does anyone else think this was an appalling program too?
Hi,
I agree with you it was appalling. It just shows how low the media is prepared to go for imagined ratings
I thought it was intruding into people's private grief, I wonder if it would have been transmitted if it involved British people who didn't survive from the last moments of the Titanic or Free Enterprise ferry.

My niece worked for Cantor Fitzgerald in London and told me of the horror they had as they were talking to their colleges in New York. She will never forget it. Many of them were British in the New York office. None of the seven hundred survived.
Hi,
This ithread doesn't realy qualify as History, esp as it is essentially a critique of a TV program.
