Just a reminder that the first 3 hrs of Discovery's WTC documentary (Speilberg) airs tonight at 8pm eastern. The first two hours are supposed to feature the rebuilding and highlight the Freedom Tower.

I remember when Hurricane Bob hit back in 1991 that was category 2 destroyed a lot of beach front houses where i live, just hopping Irene does not cause as much damage.

According to NOAA's hourly weather graph, winds are expected to top out at 79 sustained, 99 gust...

will this be showing in Canada???? A 2 hour block is reserved for something called "Things You Should Know" on their website, what the hell is that?

If it's not showing in Canada, i might consider moving to the US.

And yes, 1WTC has a good chunk left to go as seen in Traynors render,

^ From what I can tell, it isn't. If this is the case, that's outrageous. Hopefully the American forumers can fill us in on the details after the show airs.

Traynor · #**15751** Posted **Aug 25, 2011, 6:57 PM**

I checked Discovery Channel Canada's schedule online. The schedule shows all the way to Sept 3rd and it is nowhere to be found. I e-mailed them asking if and when they will show it in Canada and I have not yet had a response from them

Dave84 · #**15752** Posted **Aug 25, 2011, 7:08 PM**

Traynor it's Showing here in England on monday the 5th sep and running all week, I think there’s quite a few. I bet it'll be the same for you guys too.
Bloody American’s get everything before us lot! lol I can remember when Stephen hawking's: "The story of everything" came out I was dying to see that, they got it two weeks before us. I wouldn't mind but he's an English physicist/cosmologist not American! Rant over . . .

Hey Steveve, I just got a response from Discovery Channel Canada:

Quote:

Hi Traynor,

Thank you for your e-mail!

Discovery Science in Canada will broadcast the entire series on Sunday, September 11th, starting at 6p ET.

Best Regards,

DISCOVERY SCIENCE programming

That's good news and bad news. Many people only get Discovery Channel in their cable packages and don't get Discovery Science. That's in a special cable package.

EDIT: I jusy checked my digital cable box... I can order the channel (at additional cost) right from my remote. I wonder how much they'll yank me for that?
