102 Minutes That Shook The World

-A documentary by the History channel on the Attack on the Twin Towers.
They had e
xclusive footage never seen before.
It was the saddest thing I ever watched. I cried all the way through it. It was just amateur filmers but it was the most upsetting thing I have ever seen.
They showed the whole thing...From the first plane going in, to the second tower falling.
I was only seven when this happened and after I watched it all I could think was "Why?"
First it showed this film by a girl called Megan and they all thought a bomb had gone off and then she filmed the second plane go in. Then there was another family and they started crying because they were watching people jump. As soon as the people started jumping was crying. It was the saddest thing I had ever seen. You saw hundreds of people jumping instead of trying to escape. It was like they hd given up hope and this was their only choice.
There were helicopters circling the Twin Towers picking up stranded people and there was a man waving, I think, his shirt to try and get the helicopters attention, and the camera man said "Come helicopters, get the man." And then you saw him fall.
