There are many theories, and now documentaries and magazine articles, but we’ll never know for sure. And do we really want to know? Or, as one Metafilter poster puts it, is it just that
“we’ve become a nation of complete strangers, waiting and willing to hear and watch each other’s dying gasps via our media and entertainment outlets.
The question isn’t what the public gains in understanding 9/11 by tracking down the identity of this victim — which is nothing, really — but rather how much humanity we’ve lost since then, in consuming this flavor of death voyeurism that our media happily sells us.”
I’m leaning toward both myself.
