I watched this on the History channel last night (9/11/08) and it was both stunning and haunting. You'll have a visceral and emotional reaction to it, but likely in a very cathartic way. A well done and not sensational piece of work. I plan to buy the DVD as soon as it is available.

I did not see the entire piece, however, what I did see was the experience of so many people, such a wide variety of perspectives during this time line.

The production of this is truly an editing masterpiece. The hours that were spent going over civilian and news camera documentation as well as audio communication was time well spent - this is the best documentary I have ever seen regarding 9/11.

I only saw about 80 minutes of this show, but it was one of the most powerful 80 minutes of my life. I knew this event was bad, but this gives new meaning. All the people living around the WTC having to evacuate and deal with the debris. It's almost too hard to put into words the emotion you get from watching this.

No commentary or anything else getting in the way, just raw video and real emotion.

I, too, plan to purchase this when it becomes available.
This is more than just news reports about what happened that awful morning. It is largely a very humanistic approach - seeing the devastation through the eyes, ears, and fears of the average person on the street by way of home videos as well as the professional TV cameramen showing the New Yorker's reaction as it was happening. More than once I got tears in my eyes. More than once I became angry at the Muslim extremists that did this.
And, when the show had ended, even more of the feelings I had felt seven long years ago returned.
A great collection of video and sound of a very traumatic time in our nation's history - you truly are there when you watch this.
That's how good this is.

THIS PRODUCTION IS ABSOLUTELY RIVETING...I COULD NOT STOP WATCHING FOR THE FULL TIME.
THE VIDEO CLIPS WERE EDITED PERFECTLY TO TELL THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE.
I WILL DEFINITELY PURCHASE THIS DVD TO HAND DOWN TO FUTURE GENERATIONS...LEST IT BE FORGOTTEN...AS WE ARE ALL AWARE, 9/11 WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!

This documentary is nothing short of a masterpiece in regard to editing and presentation. I was 14 when I watched the second tower get hit on TV in my English class. It was an interesting feeling seeing everything happen all over again while watching this. It's completely driven by the people shown in the clips in the videos without any narration. There are subtle additions of tones that fit the mood of how you're probably feeling as you watch. I need not say more. It was, without question, worth the investment.

This movie is incredibly awesome. From the 1st scene to the last. There are some parts that tripped me out. Like how you hear the bodies land from the distance, how you also hear someone bangin on a window repeatedly sayin "someone please help, help me get outta here." What's also creepy, is how fast those towers came down. There's also a scene like towards the end, where a camera man walks into a lobby office & you see blood everywhere, but no bodies, that right there gave me the chills. GET THIS DVD. WELL WORTH YOUR MONEY
