I was shocked to see this was free streaming on YouTube. It is a documentary about 9/11, the U.S., and baseball... brilliantly done.

If you've seen it, you know it's worth watching again... If you haven't, you won't be disappointed.

They have interviews with Bush, Giulianni, Most of the MLB and of course fans/journalists.

It's ~1 hr so if you have to, bookmark for later.

Nine Innings From Ground Zero



ETA: This doc is way more than just about baseball... It belongs here

The best 9/11 doc I've watched is the one by those two French guys who were shooting the doc about the FDNY when 9/11 happened. Easily the best "day of" doc you can find. It is on YouTube.

As much as it's terrible to say, how "lucky" were they to pick that day to film a FDNY documentary?

But why would the French plan/execute 9/11 to get amazing boots-on-ground footage for a virtually unheard of doc?

They'd been filming for awhile, following a rookie, and were commenting on how slow it had been for that station with no real big fires in a long time. Just the way that entire doc happened was absolutely insane.

They had been filming with the FDNY for awhile before. They were telling the story of rookies that had just joined up. Timing was still pretty "lucky." The whole group was pretty lucky, I don't think they lost anyone that day and they were one of the first on scene.

I believe that's correct... because they went into the first tower that was hit, which was the second to collapse.

British TV Channel 4 has a documentary about the FAA chaos on 9/11. Looks pretty interesting LINK

And the whole reason they were out and were able to capture the first plane hitting was not because of a fire, but because the engine had been called out to check for a natural gas leak.

9/11

Search Naudet Brothers, it's a very good watch if you haven't seen it. Really captures that day in NY.

I think that's the one I was trying to think of in the other thread. Is it the one where they capture the sounds of jumpers crashing through the glass on the ground floor at the WTC?
