9/11 State of Emergency

[BCR]

On September 9, 2010 there will be a special airing on the History Channel at 9 pm (EDT) called "9/11 State of Emergency". I'm not sure of the entire contributor list, but I know a few JREF members did assist with the project. I have not seen the final cut since the producer cannot send out a copy until after the show airs, so I'll be watching it for the first time with the rest of you.

This ground-breaking documentary tells the story of 9/11 in the words of key political and military leaders, and ordinary men and women who suddenly found themselves on the frontlines of a new kind of war. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dick Myers, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and a host of other top officials take viewers deep inside the corridors of power during the most dramatic day of the century, offering fresh insights into the unprecedented state of emergency that was 9/11.

Interesting, History Channel discussing History.

Looks worthwhile. The oldest has been asking some questions about 9/11 recently.

I can hear the loons now: It's all a lie!

Actually the most interesting show (IMHO) will be the telephone calls from the towers which is showing on 9/11 on the discovery channel.

maybe we can here those "explosives" going off in the background... Or maybe someone will say something like "hey the walls are glowing, and I see a river of molten steel."

That (or a very similar documentary) aired last year.

Perhaps it doesn't need to be said that it's extraordinarily painful to watch.

Nothing about molten steel that I can recall; quite a bit about desperate frightened people reaching out for help or for loving voices in their final minutes of life.

Respectfully,

Ah.. I haven't seen it before, and they are advertising it right now (here in the UAE).

I concur, those phone calls would be (and will be) heartbreaking to listen to.

Agreed. I had to force myself to watch the whole thing. Truly heartbreaking.

Don't forget... the mics in phones are designed to pick up noises only a few inches from the mouthpiece. There is no way that you can tell what's an explosion in a taped phone conversation. [/MM,C7 mode]

No explosions can be heard in the Kevin Cosgrove tape.

I believe the actual title of the Discovery Channel documentary is "9/11: Phone Calls from the Towers." I'm not 100% certain that's the same documentary as the one on that subject I recall watching last year, but Web sources confirm that it was first broadcast in the U.S. last year.

Thank you Myriad.

Intrigued, I was about the thread title. Wasn't what I thought it was though. I had thought you were wondering about the war measures , permanent state of emergency, curfews and police state regulations (ala "1984"), not to mention a third GWB term(or the election of his brother to POTUS) we are supposed to be living with by now.

 

[jaydeehess]

I watched some of that show last year I believe. Too painful, not a pressing need for me to hear those.

 

[jhunter1163]

Once heard, it cannot be unheard. I don't want to hear.

I agree. I've heard too much death in my life, and could go without listening to it again.

But, the show that WD mentions might be worth watching.

Of course, my favorite documentary on 9/11 is "9/11" by the Naudet Brothers. Excellent!

I still LOL when I see your avatar.

Bump as reminder that the show airs this evening at 9 (EDT) on the History Channel.

 

[9/11 Chewy Defense]

Gonna watch it tonight. I'm pretty sure the Truthers will be in an uproar!

 

[Sam.I.Am]

This or The Mythbusters playing with fire... That's a pretty tough call.
