That's right, over there they are used to events such as terrorist attacks. They just deal
with them, especially in England. We definitely could take a lesson from good old England.
Keep your chin up, clean up the mess, and carry on, and don't worry we'll get the
scoundrels in due course. And they do.
In hindsight, the reaction in the U.S. and here, was far too big, it wasn't an attack from
another planet, just some ill mannered arabs, who don't want to conform to anyone or
any country.

I watched the documentary, will not watch the movie, I know what actually happened, was
just like we were right there, don't need to see it re enacted. The documentary was fine, as
there were things to learn from it.

I'd bet heavilly that those who prescribe to the conspiracy theories now were watching this happen on that fateful day and thinking something like, "It was only a matter of time, what with their foreign policy and what not."
Now the conspiracies seem to be aimed only to slap the face of the Administration, which, let's face it makes an easy target.

Back to the movie. It played on satellite last night. Good job! Loved the lack of big name actors and I thought the script writer probably put together a credible scenario for the doomed flight. Surprisingly, there were no conspicuous heroes. Just a bunch of ordinary people suddenly confronted with extraordinary events.
And the movie was no platform for the Bush administration or the military. The confusion was believable. You can plan and role play all you want but when the real thing is dumped in your lap a lot of preparation goes out the window.
The movie's an easy recommend. It does bring back the raw hours of 9/11. Best I've seen in quite awhile.

On 9-11 my alarm clock went off. It was set to a news channel. The radio voice was describing one of the WTC's coming down. It was difficult to comprehend what I was hearing. I turned the tv on and sat there dumbfounded for quite some time.
Kreskin, that was quite the morning. It was also the morning of my mother-in-law's funeral. Going out the door that morning, I saw CNN replaying the second tower hit. It was surreal. During the service, whispers of new developments travelled from pew to pew. Many of us thought the world was just about to implode. But we had a necessary duty and we sat on needles and pins throughout.
Or because they're "God Fearin' ". The movie was a bit of a cheesie explotation. Americans will even exploit their own misfortunes.
I enjoyed it and agree with Tamarins points. No big name actors, and it depicted the confusion between gov. departments pretty well. And their was no hero, and this was accurately made to fit what they new about the phone calls and voice transmissions, to make it as accurate as possible.
This is the type of movie you would want to watch in a movie theater.... would be fun to see other people react.
Brings back memories though... and when I first heard this news, I like others thought: ...oh boy, nobody screws with the US, we will be at war within 2 months tops.

Oliver Stone's World Trade Center was a cheesie explotation. Hence why it never made top box office. United 93 was a respectable "docudrama".
I saw the movie and sort of scared myself away from it. Throughout just the first 30 minutes I developed some kind of anger and rage, scary.
