Comparison Of 9/11 And The World Trade Center

September 11, 2001, will be in history, "a day of infamy." (Sirs Research) Nothing like this has ever happened before on American soil and nothing would ever be the same again. "It was an unprecedented terrorist attack on America, a plot to kill as many Americans as humanly possible. Ultimately, it was the downing of United American Flight 11 and United FLight Airlines 175 into the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, that brought the two buildings down into massive clouds of black smoke, turning them into explosive towering infernos. One minute the Twin Towers were there, and then in seven seconds later they were vaporized into ash. Thereafter, graphic images, words, and emotions were pressed hard into the hearts
The Bible says "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13). Even so, while there are thousands of heroes inscribed on the 9/11 Memorial, in comparison, the movie The World Trade Center produced by Oliver Stone, is the story only of two Port Authority Police Officers from a group of five men, Sergeant John McLoughlin and Officer Will Jimeno from the Port Authority, prayer was their salvation. The Twin Towers at the World Trade Center, our nation's symbols of freedom, stood tall and proud on a crystal-clear day on September 11, 2001. At the speed of 540 mph, the two propelling planes slammed into the two Twin Towers, the first Twin Tower and then the second Twin Tower twenty minutes later leaving the people in New York City who were on the ground, speechless, screaming, crying, frozen, and in shock. They saw with their very own eyes, the plane's direct impact into the buildings and realized that the world and reality they knew was over. They could see it, they could hear it, and they could smell it burning 1000 feet in the sky. It was hell. Unfortunately, on the other hand, in the movie The World Trade Center, film producer, Oliver Stone has neglected to include the overwhelming, emotional, and catastrophic details of real-life images of 9/11 into
However, in contrast, Oliver Stone once again neglects to include another important element into his movie The World Trade Center. With two hours of dialog and one shot of a falling building, not once is there to be seen an American Flag before or after the collapse of the Twin Towers. The film is more like watching a script from "All in the Family" because more time and attention is given to the police officers personal lives and families than any details of showing the gripping horror and effects of 9/11 on all of New York City. One would have anticipated, at least, that there would have been that touching, heartfelt, and solace moment from the famous photograph of the three firefighters raising the American Flag on Ground Zero to have been included in the movie but sadly, it was not. However, the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and the World Trade Center the movie does have similarities of major proportion. Both represent the worst that happened to America and the best, and the best being the men and women who willingly went into harm's way to sacrifice themselves for others. They climbed piles of unstable debris that threatened their lives step by step and did so in the name of comradeship
