9/11: I Was There

I knew about this tragic event, but only from social media without any detail about what exactly happened that day. This movie helped me to understand a lot, I felt like I was there, I was scared for these people in those buildings. It hurts a lot to see people who couldn't imagine the end of this day to begin their morning happy, to see tourists having fun and then just FEAR everywhere! I can't think what those poor people have experienced inside burning hell. I will never forget this movie, pictures are stuck in my head since I saw it.

I totally recommend this movie! It will help you to understand better what happened and how important this day is for the humanity.

My first thought was, I can't believe it's been 20 years. I was in high school in 2001 and I can still remember the feeling of absolute shock and a complete disconnection to the events happening in America. This raw POV documentary with no overlaid narration brought it all back. Such amazing footage that would have just been someones holiday videos.

I was around 14 years old when this tragedy occurred, saw it on news channel, there was chaos all around, even after 20 years we can never forget what happened on that day, so many innocent people lost their lives for no reason. This documentary was very well made, respect to the firefighters and all of them who helped others risking their own life, I will recommend this documentary.

Whilst not a technically groundbreaking documentary, the importance and power of the mostly new images of what regular people shot with their cameras on 9/11 is the closest you'll get to having been in New York on that day and shows the side that this kind of events tend to not show: the one of the regular people trapped in them. The only thing that it can't really transmit is the fear of not knowing what was going to happen next (that the ones that we saw it live, even in the TV news, will never forget), because everybody now knows how events unfolded. A must see.

And still just as adrenalinefilled and heartbreaking as it was back then. Well stitched together documentary of mix pro and amateur video. I believe there should be even more to catch up on. I will remember these moments for the rest of my life. Its like a seasonal flu, it comes every year at 9/11. Do watch and reminice states the grumpy old man.
