Ground Zero
So I’m in New York City on nine eleven and having to deal with that combination didn’t enter my brain when I agreed to be here for Heatherette and Fashion Week. Five years ago, like most Americans, I sat in front of the TV in disbelief and watched as we lost our brothers and sisters in the horrific disasters that made this date infamous. There is nothing I can say here that hasn’t already been said. What I can say is that there is a buzz in the city today and it’s most excellent. You cannot defeat New Yorkers! For the next couple of days Hazzard Ahead will be silent to honor the great losses this country has suffered in the new century; and I mean so much more than the human toll alone.
While we’re away I think everybody should watch the documentary on 9/11, “Loose Change“. When Oliver Stone came out with “World Trade Center” I was a little angry at the idea of Hollywood turning profits over something so horrible that was still fresh in our hearts and minds. Whether you spent $9 to see WTC or not you should take the time to watch “Loose Change” for free. It was the most worthwhile 81 minutes I spent this year.
This is not your X-Files, Matthew Moore style of doco. There are no accusations, no fingers pointed by any of the makers of this film and no false hope of a tidy ending; that’s not its purpose. Dylan Avery, Korey Rowe and Jason Bermas present overwhelming evidence that contradicts just about everything the public has been led to believe about the events of 9/11. Watch the video, keep an open mind and draw your own conclusions.
