Innocent people lost lives and IMO it should be talked about and discussed - i'm sure it helps the healing process for some. The familes gave their consent for the audio recordings to be played.
If you think we shouldnt obsess about people losing lives i'd be interested to hear what you have to say about the WW1 & WW2.
I can understand the interest in the event itself but not the death of the victims...these people are just like most of us and hence are nothing special...
My main point is what makes 9/11 victims so much more special than say the death of innocent people in Iraq for example ? If time was deadicated to making TV programmes, memorials, building statues, making plaques etc each time a load of innocent Iraqis were killed then we would never be able to keep pace with it all!lol
But seriously, why does anyone need to hear these phone calls, do people get a kick listening to others in peril who are about to die ? What we really need are some close ups on CCTV of them fearing for their lifes while chatting on the phones....nice...not...! I personally just don't get it....
