Why Watch This

The Pentagon attack genuinely gets overshadowed in most 9/11 coverage, and this film exists specifically to correct that — first-hand accounts from survivors who were terrifyingly close to the impact point, inside one of the most secretive buildings in the country.

If The Plane That Hit the Pentagon's focus on an under-told part of the day interested you, 9/11: Firehouse and In the Shadow of the Towers: Stuyvesant High on 9/11 cover similarly overlooked corners of the story.
