    writing clearly

    Two quibbles:

    One about a phrase in the article itself, ΒΆ3, which mentions "a shot of a body falling from one of the upper floors." Can't we assume, and be horrified, that what fell (and fell and fell, and we should be grateful we didn't see that over and over on television) was a living person, at least momemtarily?

    One of the letters contains the phrase ". . . after the tower was hit by a local shock jock . . . ." If only it were so. No matter how awful, a single person armed only with voice, pen, and bravado could not have done very much damage.
