i think it's in either or both of these: the retort collective --- afflicted powers baudrillard -- the spirit of terrorism ________________________________ From: Film and TV Studies Discussion List on behalf of Deron Overpeck Sent: Thu 03/12/2009 22:48 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [SCREEN-L] 9/11 request I seem to recall reading some commentary on 9/11 that the terrorist attacks seemed to be planned for television -- rather than having the planes strike simultaneously, they were staggered so that attention to them would not wane as the morning went on. Neither I nor my RA has been able to find any reference to this, though. Does this jog anyone else's memory? Thanks in advance!
