Summary: The worst day in our history caught on tape
Review: When I first heard that this documentary was going to be on TV, I was very hesitant to watch it. I wanted to try and forget that tragic day in September. I decided to watch it anyway and i am very happy that I did. I realized that it is good to remember that day because we were all part of it and lived through it. I never saw the towers but when i watched this on TV it made me feel like I was down there when the towers were hit. This was the best documentaries that I have ever seen. I gave this 5 stars because i think that is awesome but also very sad. I believe that everybody that is looking for something to show their children about this day should get this dvd.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every person show have to watch this movie!
Review: When 9/11 first came on,I told myself I was only going to watch a few minutes of it because I thought it would upset me. Instead of watching the a few minutes I watched the whole thing. It was truly amazing television! I had watched the TV coverage and I thought that I seem everything that there was to see, but I was wrong. The viewer isn't seeing film from far away they are right with the New York City Fire Department in the middle of the this country's worst event. The filmakers show the viewer humanity at its WORST and BEST! Long Live the FDNY!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Worst Day in U.S History Becomes a Great Documentry
Review: I've lived very close to the city my whole life (probably 5 miles) and have been there very often. So when I first heard about this documentry I couldn't wait to see it because this was the most historic event I have ever been alive to see (and probably will ever see). I'm now 20 years old and was 19 on 9/11. Although, I do have to admit that I thought they would just show a whole bunch of images that everyone has seen on TV. I was so wrong. What I saw was so unbelievable. Words couldn't discribe how horrific alot of the images were.

The documentry of 9/11 was originally supost to be a documentry of a person becoming a fireman in one of the New York City fire departments (Engine 7 Ladder 1). Two French brothers were the filmmakers. It starts in early June 2001 with basic training and goes through the life of a fireman all through the summer (until 9/11) It was originally aired on CBS on March 10 and was hosted by Robert DeNiro.

This documentry is very informative (and as one might expect) has very disturbing images. It shows so much like both planes crashing into the World Trade Center, both of them collapsing, inside the World Trade Center (when the attacks were occuring),lots of fottage of the recovery effort,and lots of interviews with the firemen of Engine 7 Ladder 1.

I usually only write reviews on movies, but this was definitly an exeption that I wanted to make because it was so good and so important event that had happened. 9/11 is definitly one of the best documentries I have seen It is definitly worth to buy especially for the historic point of view and to see first hand what people actually went through. It's a piece of history that every American should have in thier home.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We must remember
Review: This is something I will show to my children so they can better understand what actually happened and not just go by what the history books tell them. When is was on tv a few months after 9/11, my roomates and I had seen enough about the events, but for some reason we couldn't turn away. It brought back all of those intense feelings felt just after it happened. We didn't speak throughout the show. I think it should be played again so more people can see it and be moved as i was.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: When God Directs a Film...
Review: Of all the disaster films I've seen, they all seem to have a basic sequence of events. Introducing the characters, initiation of the disaster, struggle in the midst of the disaster, "just when you thought it couldn't get any worse", and the aftermath. This accidental disaster film is no different.

Only God, knowing what was going to happen, could have placed the Naudet brothers exactly where they needed to be to fully cover this horrific event. With the brothers separated, one inside Tower 1 and the other outside anxiously trying to get to his brother, we are able to witness what the firefighters and New Yorkers experienced on September 11, 2001. We also see the trauma of loved ones separated from each other as the filmmakers try to find each other.

The suspense of waiting for each of the firefighters to return to the station at the end is also well orchestrated by God with the initial focus of the film, Probationary Firefighter Benetatos being the last to arrive.

WELL DONE JULES AND GEDEON NAUDET! PTL!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Examine the details of plane's impact frame by frame
Review: Ask yourself to be objective. Watch the impact of the plane and look at the plane closely. What do you see? Watch it a few times. I'm not sure that most of us are ready to scrutinze the images of the planes hitting the towers objectively to make sure that what our eyes tell us jibes with what we have been told to believe. I see disturbing anomalies that have yet to be explained. The second plane, Flight 11, has something unusual attached to the right side of the fuselage. That's what I see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best 9/11 documentary out!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is by far the BEST 9/11 documentary around! When it came out on TV my husband and I went to our fire department to watch it. We were not the only ones who had that idea. EVERY FIREFIGHTER in our department was there. I don't think there was a dry eye in the place when it was over. It really showed what happened to the firefighters, and how they WANTED to be there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. This documentary on 9/11 is the story of 2 brothers who were out to make a documentary of fire fighters, but instead they made this. They made this by mistake. But it is still worth a lot of watches.

Running Time: 130 Minutes

Not Rated: Contains Strong Language and Violence.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: fake - and criminal
Review: The Jules Naudet video sequence of AA Flight 11, shot from the
junction of Church and Lispenard Streets, was quite obviously
staged to look accidental. The footage is not just a record of
the crime, but part of it : the photographer knew what was going
to happen, and let those people die while he carried out the job
of filming it, for propaganda. If the Naudet brothers - wherever
they are these days, since they seem to have disappeared - want
to refute that accusation, they are more than welcome. Meanwhile,
I have a list of 62 reasons for saying the film is too convenient
to be accidental, and that a warrant should be issued for the
brothers' arrest.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic Film, Bring Tissues Along
Review: This documentary is phenomenal. The real thing. I watched this the other day and for once completely understood the feelings of what went on. Since I was fortunate to not have anyone close to me affected by 9/11 events it hadn't sunk in what a tragedy it was until this film. Granted it is just one firestation, but it is not supposed to be of all of them. It is the raw footage that was filmed by two brothers who just so happened to have the camera rolling that day. If you want a film that shows all aspects including the Pentagon then this may not be for you, but if you want an inside personal view of what it was like for two brothers each with cameras, this movie is absolutely phenomenal. It will leave you awestruck. The intensity and feelings captured by these guys is amazing. I highly recommend this movie to get a true feel for what happened that tragic day. No special effects, no "extras" for effect, just the real thing.
