The "9/11" documentary we saw in class is amazing. As are the many firefighters and people who fought to save lives during that time.

The actual footage of 9/11 made me feel as if I were in the disaster... I admire the bravery and determination of the firefighters, it takes a lot to risk your life for someone you've never met.

It made me depressed:( I wanna sleep!

The documentary was great. I really enjoyed the first hand view. Of course, I didn't enjoy the actual event itself.
The government should provide some sort of money to cover medicine for the firefighters. Its unfair to all the firefighters that they should have to suffer long term lung damage.

I agree, it was an amazing documentary. Though parts of it made me queasey, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
Seeing those pictures after the film today show the tremendous effort and time it has taken to get to where they are now. It must be incredibly difficult for people to work there, even nearly a decade after.

After watching this today the only thing going through my mind was how thankful I am that my mom is not going to be a firefighter.

It was an amazing documentary as stated above. I thought it was terrible that the Firefighters who tried to help couldn't really do anything to save the people up on the 80th floors. I didn't know that the buildings essentially became ash or dust before I thought there were only plane crashes and this documentary really brought realization.
I can't imagine what it must have felt like to be a NY civilian or US citizen for that matter seeing so many deaths. I think even though the camera skills weren't great at times it made me feel part of what was going on, and feel the emotions an entire nation were feeling that day.

The whole event still doesnt feel like its past and it feels weird to be learning about it in a history class already because i still remember the day it happened pretty clearly. My dad still has the oregonian from the day it happened too.
Having people that are still sick as a direct result of that incident makes it feel even more like it just happened a couple years ago.

It's not surprising that so many are still sick...watching the documentary, I thought some of the firefighters would have died from inhaling so much ash and dust at once.
And my parents kept The Oregonian and Time magazine too. It's weird because they look exactly the same as they do today, the formatting isn't different or anything, which makes it seem like it happened less than ten years ago.

Kinda strange how they go through such a hard situation, help out so many people, just want to help, but in the end something no one expected struck back against those who were such a huge help during the crisis. That's ghetto

Seeing the documentary about 9/11 again reinforced the idea that although the events that have happened because of 9/11 are a little irrational in my opinion (i.e Iraq and Afghanistan and TSA), they are still necessary for the safety of our country and the world.
