I have to disagree.
I live 20 or so miles from NYC and an living and literally breathing this tragedy. We smelled and saw smoke for days after the disaster. There are 5 people missing from my small town alone and 40 missing parents from the school district I worked in last year. We are seeing, hearing and living this every minute of every day.
Honestly, I believe that most of us who are directly affected by this tragedy want to be kept updated. I don't care if my favorite shows aren't on right now. I know PEOPLE who are missing and probably dead. I know fathers, mothers and children who I will probably never see again. They are more important than anything.
This tragedy affected everything. It cannot be compared to Princess Diana's death or any other news story.
I want to hear and see everything I can until the last body is found. My life will go on, and it has been, but it won't recover for a long time.
People who aren't here just can't understand.
