The emotions that it releases are almost overwhelming and subjectivity is lost in the storm. The images even now strain credulity and one's mind rebels at the insanity of the events. Director Steven Rosenbaum does an excellent job of editing the footage from 27 filmmakers who recorded that infamous and tragic day and its aftermath.

Even after 18 years, watching this film brings back all the raw emotion of that day. On 9/11, I was a young Airman, and having just worked a midnight shift, I came home and crawled into bed at 6:45 AM, snuggling up with my wife. A panicked phone call from the wife of a friend and fellow Airman woke me up. She was scared for her husband, who was on base and couldn't leave. I asked why, what was going on? And she said just turn on the TV. I pushed the power button and waited for the tube to warm up. The first image that developed on my screen was Flight 175 slamming into the South Tower. My wife and I were trying for a baby, and I turned to her and said, it's now or never, because I'm about to be gone. We're at war. Our first son was conceived that day.

These attacks were pure evil, but as this film shows, those acts of pure evil were met by an outpouring of humanity, fellowship, and love. It was probably the last time this country was united. Now, under the evil reign of trump, this country is more divided than ever. I long for those days of unity.

A great film. I never heard of this film until A&E showed it tonight.

The different film makers add so much realism that you feel like you are there on September 11, 2001. Anyone who has been to Manhattan will feel like that they are back their again on their worst nightmare. Films like this are why ultimately the universe is a friendly place as Albert Einstein said more the 50 years ago. The terror factor that is being passed around currently in the political arena makes this film so much more topical then when it happened three years ago. The emotions from every viewpoint are astonishing. Everyone should look at this link to see what New Yorkers think about why it happened. I agree. http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/090204J.shtml

This expression was used by John Reed in the XXth century to comment the Russian Revolution of 1917. What happened on the 9.11.2001 suits perfectly for the XXIth century.

This documentary is made of private shootings, so if you look for big drama shoots, you may be deceived. In addition, the terrible day count for maybe one third of the time, the remaining addressing the later days. Finally, you don't see much but you hear a lot.

What I kept in memory is this terrible "dust wall" after the falls: Like a wave, it is slowly coming, and as soon as it gets you, you step in an totally other world: no sun, no sky, only this gray matter! A bit like the novella "The Mist" from Stephen King! Sadly, it is no more fiction!
