Astonishing movie !!!, 20 January 2006
10/10
Author: Dirk Verwilligen from Belgium, Antwerp

When it happened, here in Belgium, we were shocked. When we saw the documentary's afterwords, we were shocked again. Watching this movie for the first time, i was shocked for the (i lost count) time. What a movie. Hat of for LaPlagia, who play's the broken worn out commander perfectly. You can see the man's pain through his eyes. Sigourny Weaver begins to feel the man's pain and guild and play's excellent the reporter who begin's to know Lapaglia's friends and share his grief. A real tearjerker from the beginning till the end !! It's like you get to meet some of "The Guy's", and understand the way they worked together.

Respect from Belgium for the fire department (anywhere in the world)
