Who watched the Katrina documentary on HBO...

...and at what point did the waterworks start for you?

I watched it last night and when they showed the woman hanging from something in the ceiling of her home while rescue workers were trying to get her out - well the tears started then and lasted for pretty much the rest of the documentary.

It was a great documentary and it shouldn't be on HBO - it should be on Network TV and required watching for everyone (well except those who lived through it - I can understand that).

1. I did. I got angry and sad and everything all at one time.

Spike Lee did a really good job. Just about at the end of Act I is when I started tearing up. :cry: Seeing all the people suffering and dying at the Superdome and seeing the dead bodies everywhere in the water were especially gut-wrenching for me. :cry: Definitely watching it again tonight.

2. Watching the idiot gloss over all of this - got me really angry

:grr:

I found it interesting when they talked about the possibility that the levee by the ninth ward might have been blasted open on purpose. I didn't realize they had done that before with previous severe flooding although I think eventually they spoke of it as Urban Legend for Katrina

4. You and me both. I'm glad the documentary showed things

in chronological order, interspersing reality with W's fantasy. :grr: Shows you just what happened. Soledad O'Brien really lit into Brownie too, and I'm glad she did. I'm also glad she went there and showed some of what it was really like.

5. Haven't seen it yet

We watched the conclusion of "Treasure Hunters" and the "No reservations" thing from Beruit.

It's not TV it's HBO so they will play it many more times.

6. I watched it.

It's really well done.

I had a hard time getting up this morning after being up so late, but it was worth it.
