I awoke that day in the Bronx, NY listening to eyewitness phone calls to a NJ rock music radio station (I usually listen to WFUV) and just finished looking at the DVD "What We Saw" from CBS News, a video and a book I took out from the City Island (the Bronx's seaport) library yesterday and having not read the reports but in viewing the pictures appreciated their relevance to my situation. Most of the media coverage has been from mid-town and on the scene. Whenever I worked in NY, NJ, Governors Island, the twin towers were in the background. I work in archaeology and read of a laser-sighting to plan a railroad curve in NJ from the top of one of them, which I visitred after being coaxed by Bernadette Peters in a radio ad, during a lunch hour downtown. I also worked for a Texas company, a builder of power plants, EBASCO, on five of six floors up near the top, when they did the archaeological survey of Fort Drum for the 10th Mountain Division, there now, Bob Dole's old unit from Camp Hale, CO.
"In A New York Minute"? How catchy. How disgusting. Does either of these articles shed new light on the events? No, not really.
Publishing these articles is just another example of designers being self-congratulatory drama queens.
Authors: Do you even realize how in poor taste it is to "copyright" the images of the destroyed towers? Are you protecting your right to make money from those images? Disgusting.
Creativepro: Why didn't you choose to report on the columns of light memorial, or the proposed new WTC architecture? Now that would be DESIGN news related to what has happened.

Nothing else from Creativepro.com?
Joh and Katrin's articles are very poignant.
But they will be off the front page very quickly. (Tomorrow? Monday?)
And then what?
Creativepro.com does not have anything else on the front page honoring the victims of this deliberate attack against the United States.
I am so sorry to see this.
