I apologize...
But see, this is exactly what I'm talking about, people unable to separate emotions from the scientific debate. Seeing it for myself...would be more than truth in a emotional, spiritual, whatever sense...but certainly not scientific (not to the extent that you and others are advertising). I want to visit there someday, I've kinda decided to make it one of those "special places to visit before I die" sorta thing, just to pay my respects...
And how was my post insensitive? I admitted I don't know what it feels like to be there. And if pictures are so inadequate in conveying the scale of damage, why post pictures at all? Why post a huge picture of a concrete slab on the front of the newspaper? It's not gonna matter anyways, cuz if we're not there, we "have no clue"
