watching msnbc. they are rerunning their 9-11 coverage.

they dont even seem to get what it meant that the first tower has collapsed.
they are showing the cloud of smoke enveloping the whole area, the whole tip of manhattan. they were saying that it appears "a large part of the building has fallen away". even when they start reporting that the building has collapsed, they just dont seem to grip the reality of it.

I was staring at my set in my office and said the whole building collapsed. Don't they see that? And was just amazed.

Just saying that to myself. Watching now.
