I was very glad to own this documentation to this event that is still so clear in our memories. I had quite a bit on clips from The History Channel but this set offered information that I had not seen or heard. You will not be sorry to own this set.

As a child I watched as the building went up, I shopped at the under ground mall as a police officer responded there in 1993 for the first bombing, and when we caught the first set of idiot terrorists because the dumbass wanted his deposit back on the van that exploded the bomb, I laughed but this time I cried and still do for all who died. Especially for the nypd officers, the dire department and ems responders who were doing their jobs.
This was a great set that should be in every school so we never forget!
