9/11: One Day in America

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.

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.

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 ..

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.

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!
