Thanks for your post, ashleylm. Over the years, I have spoken with several New Yorkers who became stranded in cities outside of the city during the tragedy, and I've always found there stories and experiences as compelling in their own way as the stories of those who were here (myself included) and/or directly affected. Tragedies affect people in different ways, due to any number of variables.
I could be wrong, but I think the issue in this discussion is not that some people find no drama in the situation of the plane people PER SE (though it may have seemed like that's what they were stating), but rather that they don't feel the situation is well dramatized in COME FROM AWAY. |
