Default Anyone seen "Flight 93" yet?

I'm curious as to weather east coasters feel this way more than those of us
on the west coast who, while just as riveted to what was going on, were
still thousands of miles away.


Here's one data point: It seems that everyone I knew in upstate NY,
including myself, at the time was a mere one degree away (a friend of a
friend, that is) of knowing someone killed in the NYC portion of the
attacks.

Additionally, I still have relatives who reside in Manhattan, I have
visited NYC many times, have many friends from NYC, and have worked and
lived in Manhattan for several months at a time (business weekdays, that
is) over my tenure as a software consultant.

The connection was there and the anger and sadness is still too close to
the surface, despite the five years it has been, for me to be able to sit
through the movie. The relatives of those killed on that flight are
incredibly strong to be able to do so.
