5.0 out of 5 stars Want to know what "Ground Zero" was like?, October 16, 2005

By 

Tim (Boston, Ma) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ground Zero Heroes (DVD)

I was curious to know what it was like at "Ground Zero" during the recovery and cleanup operation. There was limited media coverage during the nine month cleanup & recovery effort. I wanted to know how the firefighters & Police officers, EMT's and construction workers handled the difficulty, in matters, dealing with the scenes of mass destruction, and the process of removing the remains of the victims that they recovered. What a difficult task it must have been!

After watching "Ground Zero Heroes" I have a better understanding of the operation during the clean up & recovery operation. The video was taken during the 9 months it took to cleanup the site. It was taken on different days that the cameraman was at "Ground Zero". The DVD shows the progression of the cleanup. You see Firefighters, Police Officers, EMS personnel, and the construction workers, digging by hand & with heavy machinery, looking for the remains of vicims who perished in the terrorist attacks. It seemed to me that all the workers were on a mission, To try & find every victim that was lost & bring them home to a loved one. I was extremely moved watching the ceremony when a victim was found. An honorguard was formed, lining both sides of the ramp leading out of "Ground Zero". Clergy would then say a prayer. Then the victim was carried up the ramp as the "Ground Zero" workers saluted the victim. All involved showed great care & respect for the victim. Words cannot describe the emotions I had while watching the Honorguards. The video also shows some of the crushed vehicles that were recoverd. One scene shows the leaking slurry wall, another shows a tieback being drilled into the slurry wall. It has closeup action of a Path train being recovered, and a crane knocking down number 4 WTC. The DVD ends with very moving scenes from the construction workers, and final closing ceremonies. I liked the scene when the workers are shouting USA! USA! USA!

If you want to know about the "Ground Zero" operation, Then I would highly recommed this DVD, Tim

Ground Zero Worker "Shawn" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ground Zero Heroes (DVD)

Watching this DVD reminded me of my time working at Ground Zero. It brought back the sights, the noise, and the smells. The grapplers constantly working, and trucks always moving in and out of the site, 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If anyone wants to see what it was like to work at Ground Zero then this video is the one to watch. I really liked watching parts of the closing ceremonies. "Good Job".
