The nation stood still on September 11, 2001, as four coordinated terrorist attacks nearly shattered the powerful image of the United States. The devastating blow was spearheaded by the al-Qaeda who hijacked flights – two of which crashed into the World Trade Center towers, one that crashed into the Pentagon, and one where passengers thwarted the hijackers. The final flight was headed towards Washington DC but ended up crashing into a field in Pennsylvania. Of course, the USA has emerged like a phoenix from the ashes, since the 9/11 attacks. The nation has started a vicious war on terror – whose ripples continue to be felt across the globe.
However, the people of the nation cannot wholly forget or move on from the horrors of the day. The lives lost have been too many, and the scars run too deep. There have been several documentaries and docuseries highlighting the various aspects of this national, and in some ways, global tragedy. Here are some of the best ones you might want to check out.
6. Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)
5. 102 Minutes That Changed America (2008)
Nobody does documentaries as well as the History Channel. ‘102 Minutes That Changed America’ is a moving story in pictures, accumulated from various pieces of video footage taken all over New York City at the time of the attacks. It shows the fear and panic at the ground level, along with the realization that lives have changed forever. It is an intensely moving piece. You can see it on the History Vault.
