Here's what I am hoping to see, however, in this OLIVER STONE cinematic surreal nightmare: I hope they include a scene, even a brief 30 second spot, of a couple (or more) who are trapped above either of the impacts and know they are gonna croak, so they start FUCKING their brains out in their last moments on earth. This would be great, as well as add realism to the flick. We all KNOW there HAD to be at least one couple doing this ... I'd hope so anyway. Let's hope...

-- I cannot believe they are making a movie starring Nicholas Cage about 9/11. This is ridiculous. NOTHING will be as moving or have the impact as all the REALITY based documentaries that have aired since the event.

I don't know any statistics or sociology of such events, but the kind of animalistic sexual despair you rightly instinctively envision is not something that will show up in Stone's film. He is that most cretinous of cinematic creatures- a cowardly provocateur.
From my instincts, I doubt any of that occurred in the context you suggest. It may have happened as juvenile oppurtunistic protest amongst the peoples in the undamaged tower when the first was hit and they were told to go back to work instead of evacuating or gawking. But as human gesture against the apocalypse, I think such stuff only happens in abstractions like Opera or unhinged societies like Pompeii, itself and abstraction.

Funny you should mention Pompeii, one of my old Latin Professors confessed to us one day after several bottles of Vino that the first excavation of Pompeii found a number of couples (straight and Gay, and reputedly one Man-dog coupling) Frozen and encased in Volcanic Ashe. Benefits of a classical Education which you will not find in any mainstream textbook on the destruction of Pompeii....

I don't doubt he told you that, and I'm sure he believed it, but I doubt it's true.

Human survival instincts do not include banging wrecklessly and bestiality in any source I've read.

Ha! Well I would only speak for myself to this point B, of course my instinct would be to SURVIVE, but, in the cases where people realize that they are Doomed, and yet have ample time to think about it (Dying and how to spend there last minutes), assuming at least 10 minutes like the people in the Twin Towers trapped above the explosions, or in situations like a Airliner unable to land properly and death is likely, I think people WOULD just start banging each other, if someone got the ball rolling...and that BAll-roller would be ME!

But in Pompeii's case, the volcanic lava apparently reached the city and people So Quickly, and apparently happened at night, that people really WERE caught in mid-activity in whatever they were doing. If you read accounts you will confirm this...of course, as I stated, you wont find descriptions of sex-at-the-time-of-death in most of these accounts, but I can believe it...no one had the chance to run from the lava.

I actually fantasize about this, ala Jay and Silent Bob in the movie Dogma, where Jay corners linda fiorentino's character Bethany into conceding that, if they ever wound up in a situation where death was certain, she'd bang the little shit


**Sidenote** For shits and giggles, I called a high class escort agency in San Francisco and asked for their hottest girl...since I was known to the people involved, we were able to get specific on the Phone as to what I was after. I was told, after asking for a 3 hour "ALL-INCLUSIVE FULL SERVICE", GFE with the lady, that it would run me an even 3,500 Bucks. I then used the line "Holy Shit! For 3500 she better fuck like Helen of Troy with her ASS ON FIRE...!" There was a 5 second pause follwed by a stammer "Uh...excuse me?" I said, "Nevermind, I will call you back..." I didnt get the payoff I was hoping for from using that line...obviously the telephone booking girl never read Homer, or even saw the Movie "Troy"...
