Yes, please elaborate. Subject matter?

I am aware that this is an American website, and I dont want to bring back any upsetting thoughts to anyone, especially to those who might have been directly effected.

It is all about 9/11

The footage starts off with various cameras showing the WTC moments after the first plane hit. They are piecing all the footage together chronologically, going from one set of footage to another, but all the footage was recorded at the same time, but from different cameras. It is literally, as the title suggested, 102 minutes of footage, from minute the first plane hit..

We first hear girls in a dorm panicing, recording the footage from their window across the city. They dont know what to do. They dont know what happened. 911 calls are being played too. We then see Times Square, and the footage from another camera showing everyone stood still, staring up at the big screens showing the tower engulfed in smoke. Then we other shots from other parts of the city. The programme has been on 13 mins - the footage we are seeing now is exactly 15 mins from when the plane hit.


Its very well put together. Really shows how real it all was, especially seeing the peoples reaction from ground lever. Complete and utter mayhem.

Im sorry guys, this is very upsetting. The above link shows some of the videos that are being showed now. The video from NYU Dorm shows the second plane hit. This is unreal

The History channel has a map and you can click on each location to watch the footage captured from that particular lacation. Seems to be stuff that didnt get aired on the TV news. Viewer discretion advised. (jumpers etc)

I cannot imagine what was going through peoples minds. We are hearing 911 calls now from people in the towers. I'm not sure if this will get aired in the states, perhaps in time on a similar channel. People just dont know what to do.. I cannot believe the footage I am seeing.

I was in Afghanistan shortly there after...to bad you can't see that video.

[SquidPuppet]

This is brutal to watch. The reality of the futility is draining.

I have seen it. Makes you want to pull all our troops out and tell them to fend for themselves.

i watched this last year on 9/11. it was really intense and also heartbreaking.

[erikilla]

That's pretty intense. And depressing.

I broke my leg in three places that morning.

It's been 8 years and I still can't watch those videos for more than a few minutes.
