So you can enjoy it as if you were there

This is really repulsive:

The Discovery Channel will air a re-creation of the terrorist hijacking of Flight 93 on the fourth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The program will be called "The Flight That Fought Back" and will include about 45 minutes of re-created scenes depicting what happened before the plane crashed in a Southwestern Pennsylvania field. Forty passengers and crew members were killed.

The show is being produced by London-based Brook Lapping Productions, which is getting cooperation on the project from United Airlines and some family members of those killed in the attack.

"A few people didn't want to have anything to do with it just because they just don't want to have anything to do with anything (relating to that day)," executive producer Phil Craig told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for Monday editions. "I think there will be some people who don't like it because their family member isn't highlighted, but when you're a filmmaker, you have to balance all sorts of things."


Will someone please tell me what the educational purpose of this is? Given that much of it is going to be hypotheticals and speculation (and the Official Party Line), it's not going to shed any new light on what happened aboard that plane. So what's the point? What's it going to add to our body of knowledge about 9/11?

This is just a ghoulish attempt to get some $$ out of people's morbid fascination with the consciousness of impending death that the people aboard Flight 93 must have had.
