Yes, it is a tragedy...

However, this is not a flash animation. I know I'm going to get hammered for this pretty damn hard from you AND other reviewers, but look...it is a tragedy, it does need to be addressed, it definitely needs to be remembered...the problem is...all this animation is is just a compilation of the movies shown on TV...almost like you didn't even bother to add any artwork or anything at all. In fact, if you'd been stripped of the movies in here, all you'd have is fading text...and that's not a movie...it's more like a book. I'm not making fun of you or the incident nor do I intend to. In fact, I have friends that were over there in all 3 of the locations...they're all alive, but still. What I'm trying to say is that I've seen at LEAST 20 movies about it today alone. Only 2 were actually decent...the rest were just pictures. And you know what? Check which one is number one of newgrounds now. Look, I know that's not the purpose, but the truth is, as a member of this site, seeing a movie that is a bunch of pictures, albeit a tragedy in itself, as number one on this site is pretty bad. You can say whatever you want about that statement...and that's fine. I expect to get bitched at. This is an event that will be remembered forever...but is it really a better movie than all the rest? In reality, no, it's not. But most people are sentimental enough that they're giving the movie high ratings only because they can relate to this tragedy. I only give a movie high ratings if it's a good movie (good graphics, sound, humor, etc.). All this movie has is movies and text. It's not a bad animation, but come on...it's at 3.33 as I'm viewing it now. I wouldn't doubt it will go higher. Anyway, I guess I'd better expect some serious bitching soon.

You have a point. And you're right, the only thing I have demonstrated is that I have a good video capture utility and that I figured out how to import it into flash. However, I made this to convey how I felt about what had happened, and make a point. Go into any art museum. the modern work you see there is not all painting and sculpture. You might even see a peice that makes you say "what is that piece of crap doing here? My three year old could make one of those!" Thats when you have to look deeper than the surface. Same situation at NG.
(Although I've seen peices here and at museums that are true pieces of crap...)
