For the record, I witnessed the events of 9/11 with my OWN EYES and EARS. I photographed the second plane, the impact, and the subsequent collapse of both towers (readers may email me for links to where some of my pictures can be found).I can see anticipate the detractors complaining about this film; the lack of dialog, music, narration, captioning etc. However I don't share their opinion.

For the record, I witnessed the events of 9/11 with my OWN EYES and EARS. I photographed the second plane, the impact, and the subsequent collapse of both towers (readers may email me for links to where some of my pictures can be found).I can see anticipate the detractors complaining about this film; the lack of dialog, music, narration, captioning etc. However I don't share their opinion. This was one of the BEST `documentaries' I've seen. I say this specifically because of the lack of voiceovers, and the general toning-down of footage common in the aftermath of 9/11.As a witness it's important to me to see the events unfold in the same way they unfolded that day; without narration, without music, without handholding. I wanted to re-experience the feeling of staring at the building(s) focusing on MY OWN thoughts and listening to the sounds as they actually happened.I realize that narration is important to some people who aren't from New York and want a more `fact-based' kind of documentary. Those documentaries have already been done. This was a refreshing and excellent chance to meander through that day and imagine what would be going through your own mind instead of having a viewpoint imposed.Bravo!
