11 septembre : Un jour dans l'Histoire

I think this is by far the best documentary about the day that changed the world forever, that I've watched.

This docuserie let people tell their personal story of that day, people who were there, on ground zero. Some of the footage are intense and were a bit hard to watch, especially of those waving for help from the top floors and the voicemails of people who got stuck and who sent these voicemails to their loved ones, that sent shivers down my spine. All those innocent people, oblivious of what was about to happen, that was hard to see. And I am not even an American for crying out loud! Yeah, this docuserie is that good! Watch it!

At 62-years of age there's a few defining events in American History I've witnessed. Even the death of a beloved president pales in comparison to the carnage of 9/11. Being a witness to both with my earliest, and amazingly, quite clear recollection being that I was watching TV on the day President Kennedy was assassinated (actually telling my mother who was doing housework that President Kennedy had been shot to her disbelief). I can say this is America's darkest day in my lifetime and maybe entire history.

The above being said I say to all: never forget. This very well-done documentary may be the best memorial to never forgetting as well as seeing the courage of those on the front line. I cannot say enough superlatives about this series. It is important history and a very important part of keeping the memory of it for future generations. See this. You will be moved to the point of tears I feel almost certain.

I have seen many 9/11 documentaries over the years but this one has to be the best one I have seen. It makes you feel like you were there. Feeling the victims pain, feeling their hope, feeling their despair. I still cannot believe this happened. Amazing docu definitely a must see but beware it's very sad.

The darkest chapter of the modern history that most of us have lived through... For me it was an up-close traumatized experience... watching this reminds me of how fortunate we were to escape this by a whisker...our team brunch at the Windows in the World, the most unusual traffic jam on that beautiful September morning, watching the south tower being hit, the objects that we thought were debris falling from sky were actually people, watching both the towers crumbled, the clouds of smoke, ashes, calling hospitals to track down our colleague, going back to the ground zero after few days, escorted by FBI and NYPD to retrieve some sensitive data from our office on 32nd floor at 1 Liberty Plaza (the one right across with NASDAQ exchange located in lower floors and after 9/11 was used as morgue) and watching the aftermath, the smell, the horrific memories,.. it's been 20 years but every 9/11 even today brings back those nightmarish memories , still find it difficult sometimes to absorb the carnage..

A MUST watch if you can handle it ..

Easily the best documentary to showcase what it was like on the ground and inside the towers that day. So many other documentaries pad their program with the same information about the hijackers we've heard a million times over, but this series puts you on the ground via camera footage taken that day, with narration from the survivors who were actually there.

There's so much footage here you've undoubtedly never seen before. It's heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, and utterly terrifying... But it's also history, and it's important that we never forget what happened on that day.

This is the definitive 9/11 documentary.
