Product Description:

September 11, 2001, will be eternally frozen in our memories. Where we were; what we thought; what we felt; what we heard; and especially what we saw will stay with us forever. It was a day -- defined for each of us in an instant -- that we will share with our children and our grandchildren in the years to come. In words and images -- and on a full-length DVD -- What We Saw captures those moments.

Dan Rather's Introduction sets the stage for an introspective look at the catastrophic events of September 11. What We Saw follows a day that started out like any other but ended in silence and sorrow -- from the first interviews by phone with eyewitnesses to a plane crashing into Tower 1 of the World Trade Center to the Towers of Light tribute, six months later.

As the world came to a halt that September morning, Dan Rather and his colleagues at CBS News worked tirelessly to provide detailed, accurate coverage of that day and the days that followed. Not only are the events that shook America's biggest city and its capital closely documented, but the tragedies that occurred elsewhere are also examined, from the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to the repercussions felt in a small New Jersey commuter town.

Among the contributors are Jules Naudet, a French filmmaker who was working on a documentary about New York City firefighters when his subjects were called into service that September morning; Newsweek's Anna Quindlen, whose thoughts turn to a young family likely headed on vacation aboard United Airlines Flight 175, The New Republic's David Grann, who captures the feeling of hopelessness felt by the families searching for missing loved ones; and CBS's Ed Bradley, who describes the volunteers who flocked to Manhattan with an overwhelming desire to help.

Each moment of September 11 and its aftermath is portrayed with candor and honesty by the CBS News correspondents, photographers, camera operators, and journalists who were there. What We Saw is an invaluable documentary of a day that changed our world forever.

- "America-it's not something you get for free;it's something you have to fight for."

"And from the ruins,that yellow cloud,made of pain and death and
religious zealotry,created by twisted minds and hardened hearts,kept
rising over the city.The stentch of it poisoned the air.Sirens wailed
their terrible song. But that sinister cloud would not prevail. The
world's God-sick party of death would not win. There on the ground,on
the day after our worst calamity,were the toughest people anywhere on
Earth. They would remove that smoke from our sky. And when it was
gone,they would work,as they always do,for life itself. They would
drink. They would sing. They would dance."

There have been many books published on the Terrorist attack on America on 9/11;and I have several. However; if one wants to have one book that covers it as well as any,I strongly recommend this book and the excellent DVD that is included with ... Read More

- A great reminder of what happened.
The text in the book is not that great, the pictures on the other hand make up for everything the text lacks. If pictures are worth 1000 words then these are the Proverbial "Encyclopedia Britanica" of Sept. 11, 2001. They find and illuminate the wide range of feelings and reactions that were brought out in the aftermath from horror to pain to fear to pride in out emergency service workers and even those who were not emergency service workers but showed up to volunteer. The DVD in my opinion is the real gem here, I have the DVDs 9/11 intended to be a documentary about a rookie fire fighter that caught the only existing footage of the first plane hitting the trade center, CNN Tribute - America Remembers - The Events of September 11th (Commemorative Edition)which is a collection of video from cnn coverage of the attacks and interviews done afterwards, and then there is the What We Saw DVD, this one is similar to the ...

- a fine dvd and book about 9/11
while i admit the dvd included here isn't as good as the cnn one,it's still good but the book is the thing here.
the book is wonderful and when my boys ask about this i'll use this book and the other dvd's to help them understand just how big and sad that day was. everyone should have this in their collection.

- AMERICANS SHOULD REMEMBER 9/11
In the months following this horrific events, Americans have proved that they can be easily controlled by fear and more than eager to give up freedoms to be free. Americans need to take a hard look of how they have allowed america to desintigrate by the hands of an illegitimate president, because Bush has garanteed america many more 9/11s by his illegal war in Iraq

wake up America before you find yourself in a dictatorship
