Hello!

I live in Sweden and I remember a specific video being shown over and over again. It is the one when you see the second plane hit the second tower. On the original clip there is a woman crying out "Fuck, fuck, Jesus fucking christ!". As far as I can tell, the woman has a typical New Yorker accent. During the first couple of days the sound was still there on swedish television, but they eventually removed th sound.

Googling on this on the Internet shows no signs that the sound was ever broadcast in any other country. Just out of curiousity, did you ever hear the sound track of that clip in the US? Don't get me wrong, I fully understand that the sound was removed. It could be very offending to many people, at least at the time, but I'm just wondering if you knew that this sound ever existed?

Regards,

Tor Svensson, Sweden

Hello, Tor and welcome to Democracy Forums.

I was unaware of that audio deletion, but it makes sense.

Stick around and debate. International perspectives are scarce here on this board, and some of us welcome your views.

I actually remember hearing that. Yea it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it were edited out.

Welcome to DF you'll have to give me the run down sometime of how you like Sweden and it's politics.

I never heard that. I'm sure they would censor that out of the TV broadcast quickly here in puritanical America. Welcome to the board Mr Swede! My friend Niclas from Sweden told me TV is VERY different there. Here we have lots of violence and no nudity. In Sweden he said there was lots of breasts and not much violence on TV. I asked Niclas if there were many guns in Sweden. He said, once someone had a gun in Stockholm.

teeheee!

Thanks for your warm welcoming. If you're interested, I just posted a thread called "Swedish vs US politics" in the "Political Analysis" forum.

Nothing wrong with a nice breast on the tube. Beats watching the View or Bill O'Reilly.

And welcome to you Tor.
