I’ve finally finished downloading and viewing all the videos* from the Moussaoui trial exhibits which I first blogged about here.
These were difficult downloads. And many of them are difficult to watch. Don’t watch all of them if you never want to know what someone looks like after falling a thousand feet onto concrete. (You’ll know which one it is in time to hit stop.) But if you choose not to watch, at least remember.
The videos of the aircraft hitting the buildings, the fire, and the eventual collapse are stunning for the way they impact the viewer. Still, it’s hard to visualize a whole planeload of lives being snuffed out in an instant. The human dimension shows when you see individual arms waving for help from broken windows.
I still don’t know why I’m not reading about this in other blogs yet. I wouldn’t expect the MSM to make a big deal of it. But this is the first time a Federal Court has published all of the exhibits from a trial. And this was no ordinary trial.
If I had the bandwidth I’d put the videos up somewhere. If you have a place that could host them, contact me by leaving a comment. I may be able to ftp them to you faster than you could do your own dowload.
* I didn’t bother with the defense videos. They were apparently of talking heads.
