9/11 Commemorative Box Set

This stunningly comprehensive presentation of 13 definitive documentaries brings into sharp focus the momentous, incomprehensible events surrounding the tragedy of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Revisit the tales of innocent people in New York City, the Pentagon and across America who were caught in a cruel twist of fate, and yet – through luck or by sheer determination – managed to cheat death. We discover incredibly personal stories of tragedy, heroism and bravery experienced by ordinary people, all of whom will live with the legacy of that day forever.

• This collection has been carefully put together to deal with the subject matter in a tasteful and respectful fashion, never losing sight of the devastating personal tragedies lived out on that fateful day.

• Covering both the day of the attacks and their aftermath, this set deals with the stories of those who were trapped, those who came to their aid, and those who later investigated the attacks, to provide a rounded picture of a day that will live on in history.

• Discover some of the lesser known details of that day in 2001. Did you know that American F15s nearly shot down the wrong plane? That the water used to battle the flames was provided not by fire engines, but by fireboats?
