Cutting Edge...9/11...the faker

medot · Cutting Edge...9/11...the faker

its back tonight on C4 at 9pm.

tonights programme is about Tania head.....one of only 19 people who survived the twin towers at or above the floor of impact.

she became the President of the World Trade Centre Survivors Network.

only problem was ...she was NEVER THERE...she wasn't even in america on the day!!

it was a story she made up for 6 years...not apparently for the money...but for the fame!!

i honestly think i will be sitting there with my mouth wide open tonight!!!

I shall be watching this to Medot - I'm intrigued as to why someone would want to cash in on other people's grief all for the sake of being famous

Pam7

YES!!! I want to watch this too! They said that she DID do a lot of 'good' and fundraising though....but !!! omg..HOW could she pretend that she was there and that her fiance died in it??

Did you see the programme last night about the people trapped in the Marriot hotel in between the two towers!

amazing!!

medot

yes saw that last night.

i never realised there was a hotel there....and that a bomb had previously gone off there!!!

Pam7

Neither did I Dottie!

medot

it was all "unanswered" questions. they didn't interview her...and i couldn't get my head around that she hadn't done anything illegal.....so wasn't arrested!!

i'm not sure how i would have felt if i had been one of those people who were involved in 9/11!!

what a sorry life some poeple lead to have had to lie like this just to get a life!!!

i felt so sorry for that black postal worker woman....to witness what she did....i cried when she was talking...i hope she got the help she needed.

It was a a total waste of an hour they kept repeating stuff could have told the whole story in 10 mins, unlike the 9/11 Hotel prog that was full of new information and amazing stories.

We watched it too and didn't find it very informative. There were little bits that we didn't know like the survivors being ignored etc... but the point of this was?

I did actaully feel a bit sorry for the woman (faker), she obviously started something that spiralled out of control to get herslef a little bit of attention.

I wonder where she is now.

We watched it as well and agree with Nick & Stacey....nothing of any substance, it could have been done in a much shorter time and fail to see the point it was trying to make.
