CNN Pipeline offers real-time stream of 9/11/01

OK, first off, let me say: i have no problem with people remembering 9/11. the movies are a bit meh of an idea in my opinion, but whatever. and the video from that day helps remember. helps us keep up our fighting spirit. helps us support the war in iraq b/c … uh … they … didn’t have anything to do with it?

whatever. ANYWAY. it’s from 2001. it’s 2006. I assure you, it’s not real-time streaming. It may be streaming. and it may have BEEN live real-time video. but five years? it loses “live real-time” somewhere in the first … uh … hour? a 5-minute delay loses “real-time”. an hour kinda loses “live” 5 years? it’s ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE !!! oi.

(just read the bit about it on CNN. apparently they’re showing starting at 8:30am. so the stream is supposed to be happening at the exact moments and showing the exact footage from cnn, that was on CNN-TV 5 years ago ; so i guess they can kindof claim real-time)

there was more, but i don’t see them offhand now :/
