was a bit weird watching Towering Inferno this evening on telly post 9/11

“Ya know one day we going to kill 10,000 in these firetraps”

Steve McQueen (at the end of Towering Inferno) about skyscrapers

Shuuuut-up.

I've got to admit that there's a lot of things that seem strange since 9/11. Even watching the intros to certain films, where they fly over the New York skyline, seem relly strange, as you see something that isn't there.

It's not a bad thing that the strangest thing can bring back memories of a terrible event. That is after all, what being Human is all about.

Amazing isn't it.
A few thousand die in a one off incident and the world mourns them forever.
20,000 people died in Iran from an earthquake and nobody will even talk about in in 2-3 months.

Yes I know 9/11 was horrible, but no more so than dozens of other events since.

Whats Iran got to do with Towering Inferno?
