11 septembre : Un jour dans l'Histoire

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.

Dreadful and horrific. What all the people in the buildings, bystanders, fire department, and the police department had to endure that terrifying day is unimaginable. The videos are stomach piercing, and the interviews are painful... this documentary is one of a kind.

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.

And this is of every documentary out there no matter what it was about. Very well told in "real time" from the survivors of ground zero, many if not all I've never seen in another 9/11 documentary. The raw footage was scary, sad, intense but also heroic, inspiring, and educational. Finally a documentary that focuses on the entire day. Not just New York (albeit that was the hardest impact). I've never This brought a whole new light on that day 20 years ago.

No matter your age on this day, this needs to be watched. It's difficult, uncomfortable and yet reminds you that there are humans that actually care for others without giving a thought for themselves. It's the best and the most honest compilation of the events. I'f you don't cry at any time while watching this then you aren't human.
