SEPTEMBER 11  

An excellent way to mark the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is to see Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center". But beware. This emotionally wrenching, PG-13 film is not for the squeamish.
Approaching the 5-year anniversary, one American remembers the vicarious impact felt on the West Coast by the events of the 9/11 attacks, through the filter of her role as a manager, wife, and mother while family members were stranded on the East Coast.
There are many questions surrounding the events of 911. Many of which were brought forth after that horrendous day. Many are being presented on a daily basis and they just seem to keep adding up.
The World Trade Center site prior to September 11, 2001 was a premier New York City highlight. As someone who worked in the area for 20+ years, I remember the beauty and excitement of the area.
On June 1, 2006, the DOH and The World Trade Center Health Registry rolled out a program to re-survey people located in the immediate vicinity of the WTC attacks to attempt to get a clearer picture of the health ramifications of those at Ground Zero.
If nothing else, the Freedom Towers will be a more accurate reflection of the way that the city has changed since the WTC collapsed; realistically, we will never, ever, be ready to accept that premise
It was something we never could think of happening, and yet it did and changed our world forever
I just received an email from the World Trade Center Health Registry telling me I should file a preliminary claim with the Worker's Compensation Board. Just in case I've got some "latent disease" lurking in my system.
In the video, Rudy Giuiliani discusses the decision to place the command center on the 23rd floor of Seven World Trade Center after the first terrorist attack in 1993. Evidence is provided that shows Giuliani's statements to be false.
Despite the lack of progress in building the Freedom Tower, Silverstein is still paying $10 million a month in rent to his landlord, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which makes him just another disgruntled tenant.
Rudolph Giuliani is guilty of mass murder, profiting from the mass murder, and being party to a coup.
A few weeks ago, a second September 11-style attack was narrowly averted by British, American, and Pakistani authorities. For New Yorkers in particular, it reopens painful memories of the mass murder of nearly three thousand people five years ago.

Plans to build the World Trade Center Memorial and Museum are moving along thanks to new efforts by the project's leadership.
The story of the September 11, 2001 destruction of New York City's twin towers is a familiar one. Nearly five years after the event, Oliver Stone's World Trade Center (2006) tells a lesser-known story of many smaller acts of heroism
World Trade Center fails to give the watcher any reason to care about the men involved.
The true story of World Trade Center is of two New York Port Authority Police officers who went into the buildings on that day to try to rescue people on 9/11. Before the day was done, it was they who were in great need of rescue.
On September 11, 2001, Jake, a black Labrador retriever, aided in the attempted rescue after the World Trade Center attacks in New York City, searching desperately through the smoking rubble for survivors.

A man's view of Hollywood's exploitation of a National tragedy
John McLaughlin (played by Nicholas Cage) and Will Jimeno (Michael Peña) were number 18 and 19 of just 20 people who survived the chaos that claimed over 2,700 lives.
This is not your typical Oliver Stone movie. Unexpectedly, Stone sanitizes 9/11 as much as possible and keeps the lens tightly focused. Mostly, this is the story of two survivors, and the restraint shown by the director blunts the sharpest edges.
An unforgettably tragic event is conveyed by director Oliver Stone through a 1st person account by a rescued rescuer. The discipline of sticking to the facts gives it a powerful human framework while realistic effects and strong acting impart the terror.
Oliver Stone crafted a beautiful, poignant, uplifting movie that honors everyone involved in the September 11th tragedy.
During the WTC's short life, daredevils have climbed it, jumped off it, and walked across tightropes.
