9/11: One Day in America

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.

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.

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.

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 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!
