September 11th, 2001: The Day That Changed The World: World Trade Center: 9/11/2001

Shocked by the events of September 11, 2001, artists – like everyone – struggled to make sense of the unfathomable destruction and loss of innocent life witnessed that day.

Work at the World Trade Center site, the gaping hole in New York City's downtown that has come to be known as Ground Zero, has been going on for 233 days. In all that time, work has not stopped for even one hour. Searchers now stand on timbers laid out on the bedrock of Manhattan. Scott Pelley reports.

Ever since the attacks on America in September 2001, conspiracy theories – some credible, others less so – have persisted about what actually took place. Fifteen years after 9/11, this documentary takes a look at some of the theories surrounding the attacks and investigates whether information is still being held back. The film presents a range of views from families who say they haven’t been told the full story by the US administration to insiders who say how they believe the attacks could have been prevented..

Like thousands of New Yorkers who live downtown, the filmmaker Beverly Peterson witnessed close-up the horrific events of 9/11. Her first instinct was to grab her video camera in order to bear witness to the tragedy unfolding.

The terrorist attack on the World Trade Center was documented by hundreds of photographers. Some were professionals who were already working in the area; others were amateurs who felt compelled to head toward the scene of destruction and photograph it.

On September 11, 2001, 184 people lost their lives when American Flight 77 slammed into the Pentagon. Today, people are surprised to hear that the Pentagon was ever a target. Few know about those who escaped, many terrifyingly close to the impact zone.

The largest terror attack in our nation's history left images seared into our conscience that will never be forgotten. But for those caught in the middle, the memories are as strong today as they were in 2001. Distributed by A&E Television Networks.
