Warning: Spoilers
How do you discount 2 guys bringing bringing down a woman in a wheelchair. Very plausible. How do you discount a group of coworkers concerned with assisting down a pregnant coworker if they've worked together for years. Jet fuel coming down the stairwell. HAD All the fuel been consumed on Impact it would have blown Off the tops of the buildings. Hence, leftover will flow down. Is it that the storytellers names Aren't given? So? They went through enough.

Very well done

I've watched many many docs about this terrible day. While my opinions on who knew what and how it was handled may not align with the narrative we have all been given NO ONE can deny the very veryyy REAL experiences these men and women were put through on 09/11/2001. These are the stories that need to be shared and I commend everyone brave enough to relive those terrifying 90 minutes or so over and over PUBLICLY. I can not imagine the PTS they endure in private. I hope it's more therapeutic than traumatic. It does seem the same 20-30 people are on many of the docs, of the thousands effected obviously not everyone had heroine experiences and many just evacuated but as the woman's nephew said "these are walking pieces of history" and their story should be told. This program did a wonderful job of doing so in a very descriptive way both visually and through the experiences shared. Thank you to those who participated and shared. May their names and memory always be remembered along with the other heros both professional and civilian, both still with us and those who passed that day and since from health related trauma due to "groud zero".

Ordinary People Who Really Lived It!
mandagrammy12 September 2023
There are so many really good documentaries about 9/11 out there, and they all have a distinct viewpoint of that horrific day. This is truly one of the most interesting of them all, because this is the voice of some of those lucky ones who somehow survived to tell their stories. No Hollywood movie could capture the feelings of a person when something like this happens near as clearly or dramatically as these first-hand accounts. You can still hear the fear in their voices as they recount the effect of not actually knowing what was going on or how to react to it. In the end you can't help wondering how you would react if you were in such a situation. The one good thing that comes out of it, although it brings plenty of tearful moments, is the proof of how human beings can come together for the good of all when it is an absolute necessity.
