Listen to stuff on BBC about 9/11

a) Listen to 2-3 recordings of "9/11 memories from the wreckage" here:

(the less depressing ones are: the mobile, the toe rings, maybe the steering wheel)

b) Watch 1-2 videos from "9/11 10th anniversary: Stories from the embers" here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-14766880

(the less depressing ones are: "They were spooked by my camera"
"Somehow fate put us together")
