Because there were not 5 news networks, (Not even one.) that provided the names of 5 firefighters who gave their lives in 911.
Just curious if you knew 5, why you did not share their names with the rest of us?

The media hasn't bombarded us enough with the fallen hero's names
Truth is I wouldn't know many actors names if the media didn't mercilessly drill them into my brain LOL

because real heros are always nameless.
Hollywood is always going to be discussed more because it is what the industry depends on... publicity.
People want an escape from their mundane lives and thinking about fallen heroes and victims is not exactly what they want to use as entertainment.

Because those people don't need their 15 minutes of fame...and we don't know their names in order to remember them...
