PBS - 9/11 Inside the Pentagon

I'm watching something right now on AHC called the fallen man. Basically trying to identify a person in a photo that jumped from one of the WTC. Pretty good. Narrator sucks

Always watch the coverage on PBS and History channel around this time of year.

Crazy to think back.

saw that show, but the ensuing shows were better. One about the voice transmissions and our military's response that day. Another show on the capture of bin Laden.

Butch was working in the Pentagon on 9/11. He was suppose to go to that side for a meeting 20 minutes after the plane hit

what do you call the radio communications between the military, control towers, and even from the flight attendants on the hijacked planes?

Ah, ok. That makes sense. For some reason I didn't think of that.

Link?

It's on AHC. DTV channel 287.

Watched it in my English 4 classroom. IIRC, everyone started getting texts and all of the teachers turned on their TVs in the classrooms. My teacher turned it on right before the 2nd plane hit. Nobody thought it was real

My favorite 9/11 piece is still the one where the French film makers were shooting a documentary on a firehouse when it all went down, and their subsequent footage. Heartbreaking stuff

Ditto. The sound of the first jet passing over their heads, the camera panning around just in time to see it slam into the tower...and that sound it made when it hit, followed by the FDNY fireman gasping, "Holy frick!"

I still can't believe it's been 15 years already. I think, for me, it will always feel like it just happened...
