Portraits From Ground Zero

A firefighter searching for the body of his life-long friend; a teenage girl mourning her stepfather; a Franciscan friar ministering to the dead; the future FDNY Chief of Department worrying about a potential building collapse. These are just a few of the thousands of people captured by photographer Andrea Booher, who had unprecedented access to the rescue and recovery operations at Ground Zero. Booher uses the battered green notebook she carried at the Trade Center to track down the people in nearly a dozen of her favorite pictures, gets them to tell, for the first time, the riveting personal stories behind the photographs.

9/11: Escape From the Towers

Each World Trade Center tower consisted of 110 floors. Each floor has a story. In this two-hour special, survivors from two of those floors, many speaking publicly for the first time, tell their stories. Their experiences are harrowing, and recounted in astounding detail--from two men who volunteered to carry a stranger down 65 perilous flights of stairs, to the small group determined to get their pregnant coworker to safety, and to those who fought through flames and falling debris just one floor below the impact zone. Focusing on one floor in the North Tower and one floor in the South, this film will provide a never-before-achieved intimacy with what it was really like to be inside the Twin Towers on 9/11.

9/11: The Pentagon

On September 11, 1941, the U.S. War Department broke ground on a massive new five-sided headquarters that would rise to become the ultimate symbol of the American military. 60 years to the day after construction began, a hijacked airliner crashed into the building as part of the largest coordinated terror attack ever on American soil.
