Information 102 Minutes That Changed America This chronological account of the events of September 11th offers a visceral, moment-by-moment analysis of the terrorist attacks as witnessed by New Yorkers. Over 100 sources provided real time visual and audio recordings during and after the fall of the Twin Towers, and share their personal stories and recollections of this tragic moment in American history. A new historical record is emerging of the sights and sounds of the attack on the World Trade Center. Winner of 3 Emmy? Awards, this documentary will distinguish itself from other 9/11 programmes by using only unique and rarely seen and heard archive footage to document the 102 minutes between the first attack on the World Trade Center to the collapse of the second tower. This will be a lasting document whose unique material comes from a range of non-traditional sources, including amateur photography, video, and film; FDNY, NYPD, Port Authority and emergency dispatch radio recordings, photography and video; recorded voicemails; audio/video diaries; footage and stills broadcast or published outside the United States; electronic messages; surveillance camera footage; and outtakes culled from raw network footage. |

What struck me later after seeing this was my emotional investment in what was happening. It instantly engaged the darker side of my own thought processes, the infamous reptilian brain. I became fully involved. I was furious at the amateurs for not recognizing the importance of what they were witnessing or having the foresight and responsibility to realize this was not a time for childsplay. I identified with a couple of the more serious-minded amateurs and professional videographers. I've shot and produced several documentaries myself. I understood the woman who said in watching and recording the events occurring through the viewfinder, it allowed her to detach herself from those events. In looking back I can see the kids were only doing what they were equipped to do. My own training and bad experiences involving lost opportunities had taught me to shoot first and ask questions later. I also realized the woman I had identified with had been in a state of shock when she shot her video; she was still in a semi-stupor just rehashing things over again in her mind. The most impactful and devestating moment for me wasn't footage of people jumping to their deaths. It was the fairly benign sequence showing the guys from Engine 288 walking down the street towards the camera and into eternity. It was at that moment I no longer was an observer but a participant, and nothing else mattered any more. |
