Never saw this last year. I always remember being sat at my parents house with a smashed leg in plaster from rugby when i got a phone call off a mate telling me to turn TV on as one of the towers had been hit and it was on the news.
I sat there transfixed and disbelieving for the rest of the day with my mum and dad watching everything unfold. It's the most horrific thing i have ever watched in realtime.
Watching the Documentary last night brought everything back. I'd forgotten how horrendous it was and watching all the unseen public and news footage for the first time since 2001 was harrowing and terrifying in equal measure.
I almost turned off several times when it moved onto the calls from trapped people, footage of jumpers and firemen who knew they wouldn't get back out and whether the fact I didn't was down to morbid curiosity or not, I will say the documentary of what was an attrocious act of terroism was utterly absorbing and easily the most powerful and unforgettable piece of televised history that i have ever seen in my lifetime.
