11 Minutes

After events like this, why is there still a single gun in civilian hands in the US?

61 dead, almost 500 hit by bullets and shrapnel and almost 900 total injuries.

All because of a single gunman.

What kind of event would be required to change American thinking on gun ownership?

I have watched episode 1 and it is very good. It's hard to watch because thousands of people were completely exposed, as a madman fired 1,100 bullets into the crowd that they were in.

The people who were there were traumatized and presumably will be for life. Many of them were shot and bear the scars.

Civilized nations don't have incidents like this. They take the required steps, so they don't ever happen again.

Very good - Very Well done, the documentary is great - the event is awful! Such an absolutely devastating American Tragedy, but again, the show is well made. At the same time - a show that retells a handful of stories from that night doesn't come close to relating the true impact of the event that actually effected more than 30,000+ people. From the concert audience, the performers, the crew, the first responders, the hospitals, families, everyone - this was absolutely mindboggling.

There are a few things to be learned from this - the total confusion as to what was actually happening, the reactions from the crowd - the first responders, etc., it was just mass confusion - and no one really knew what was happening or where the gunfire was coming from - and still to this day no one knows why the shooter did what he did - and the truth is, there are no why's to such a thing. That part doesn't matter - it's pure evil, it's pure cowardice, it's pure insanity.

It is though, a well-made documentary about a horrible event. And it's amazing how somethings aligned to bring this tragedy to an end. DeeJay Silver laments his decision to have his family there - and the danger that this had put his family in - but if not for his nanny and his small child - this tragedy could have gone on much longer. His Nanny, and child - brought this tragedy to an end.

The whole this is moving, tragic, and indomitable!

So yes it demonstrates how horrific this event was; awful and I'm sorry people had to go through it. It was very good at building the suspense of events leading up to the tragedy. But aren't we over thoughts and prayers and the heroism on the day? How about using this as a change of direction for gun reform in America? The only nod to this was from the parents of 1 unfortunate victim and their attempt to sue thr gun companies... but how about all those country music heroes of the stage calling for gun reform; it just needs a restriction of automatic weapons?.... some might say they don't want to upset the NRA too? (Like many politicians) this made me very sad. Why do we as humans never learn?

This was a well made documentary about the lives of people caught up in this horrendous crime.

Then the producers and director felt the need to jump on that liberal/democrat anti-gun train had to and use the act of one evil man to attempt to attack the rights of one evil man to attack the rights of decent, law-abiding, gun owning citizens who have nothing to do with this kind of evil and are not criminals illegally in possession of guns who are usually involved in the so called mass shootings that democrat lawbreakers are desperate to use to attack Constituional rights.

Too bad everything has to have a "message" these days.

The route 91 act of terror of Oct 1 (911) is well made and shines a light on the horrors of the day. The first responders are true heroes and the series supports that fact with great strength. However, the elephant in the room has always been the missing hard drive. A laptop was reportedly taken from the hotel where the guns were fired with a "missing" hard drive and the series didn't cover that important detail. There are other unanswered questions which include why the ISIS admission was dismissed and why there were so many false calls made about other shooters. There is either a coverup or the guy is a serial(mass) killer for the new DNA age. Accordingly, 11 minutes should have touched on some of the possible motives and coverup theories. Still a must see!
