I could show people what had happened and how these amazing everyday people — these first responders, firefighters, people in the building — the good they did. After the first plane crashed, he and Pfeifer headed for the North Tower, where Jules shot more video and Pfeifer directed firefighters who were helping thousands of people escape. When the North Tower collapsed, Jules jumped between two cars to avoid the giant cloud of debris coming toward him.
Pfeifer jumped on top of Jules, "protecting me as he did that day. Meanwhile, Gedeon Naudet filmed the wait and worry at the firehouse before making his way toward the towers to document scenes of Lower Manhattan. By the end of the day, Jules was convinced he'd lost his brother, until he saw Gedeon walking into the firehouse with a big smile.
A year later, the firehouse hosted Jules' wedding, which "celebrated a new beginning that they gave us, because they saved me that day. Now, Jules has two children and Gedeon — a newlywed — is expecting his first. Gedeon Naudet. Those who got hit hardest by survivor's guilt "are now doing better," Gedeon said. Hundreds of chemical compounds — including known carcinogens — were present in the dust surrounding Ground Zero. Potential cancer-causing agents such as asbestos that coated the World Trade Center buildings' lower columns, and benzene, a component of jet fuel that stoked uncontrollable fires, have long been a cancer concern for researchers.
Scientists have expressed concern about the high volume of particulates and gases inhaled by responders, survivors and neighborhood residents.
The battalion chief. Like Gedeon Naudet and Benetatos, children have entered the life of former chief Pfeifer in the years since the attacks. In Pfeifer's case, he's become a grandfather. Joseph Pfeifer. The former battalion chief now performs a larger role as the department's chief of counterterrorism and emergency preparedness.
He lost his brother Kevin who died helping people escape the North Tower. All summer long, Tony and the filmmakers waited for that fire to happen, but it never came. More than just a documentary of that terrible day, this also shows the camaraderie of the firemen. The Naudets shot so much footage prior to that day, and they managed to incorporate those feelings into this documentary.
The down-time is there; the time spent just waiting. They were with the Engine Company 7 trucks investigating an oxygen leak when it happened. At that point, their footage turns into something else. My husband had been at the Trade Center fifteen minutes before the disaster, and we lost a friend and a family member who were firefighters that day.
I had heard quite a bit about Fox News footage that had been located of these two going into the tower they were in the same Manhattan fire company, something we never knew until after this.
I knew that I had a yearning to see that footage, so would I be able to watch this? Any trepidation I felt going in went by the wayside quickly. The first half-hour is dedicated to the firefighters and setting up the emotional investment people will feel with this particular fire company, and Tony Benetatos. There is some very disturbing footage here, however, Although it is never shown on camera, once Jules Naudet enters Tower 1 the North Tower; the first hit, the last to come down with the firemen and his camera, there are loud bangs heard at intervals.
At first what I thought was glass blowing out actually turned out to be the sound of people jumping to their deaths rather than being consumed by the fire above. Although no bodies are actually shown, the sound is unnerving. Naudet has captured a real feeling of what it was like in the Towers that day after they had been struck. When the second tower comes down, all that seems to be left is finding out who from the firehouse is still alive. The Naudet brothers are of as much concern as are all of the firefighters.
In this way, they conveyed the feeling that many families had in those days and weeks following September 11, Hanlon's script in particular was made of eager slang and patter: "We stayed up late that night, just telling jokes and bustin' chops.
They have become shorthand for the nobility, bravery and masculinity of the firefighters, and they made almost as many appearances as the Naudet brothers themselves. Too often, both appeared at the same time. Worse, they aimed to secrete themselves into the mythology built around the firefighters. From the beginning, they were openly courting their subjects, beta males ingratiating themselves with the silverbacks "We were becoming accepted.
Gradually, it became their day. Jules was caught inside Tower One as Tower Two dropped, and the footage of the firefighters scrambling for an exit as the world collapsed around them should have been allowed to run its course.
Instead, all went dark, until Jules appeared, from a tall stool in a studio, to describe the indescribable. Everything else could wait. By the end, the Naudets were even casting judgment on the firefighters, as if their own lives had been spent among the heat and falling rubble of burning buildings, as opposed to the centrally-heated comforts of an editing suite.
It began as a straightforward film following rookie firefighter Tony Benetatos awaiting his first fire. Benetatos was the last to leave the station after the attack, but the last to return. Jules Naudet, talking about the moment of the first collapse, of how he continued filming amidst the catastrophe, said: "The cameraman took over. There have been piecemeal offerings of value, but no single, all-encompassing ambitious film emerged from two weeks of retrospection.
It is as if the apocalyptic drama of the day itself set a challenge to film-makers that has yet to be accepted. TV3's sole contribution - apart from its news coverage - was The Story of Flight Even in these contemplative hours, TV3 reached for the safety blanket of a dramatised version of actual events. The drama schedule seeped into the current affairs schedule.
The Story of Flight 93 avoided the elements that did not suit the narrative so neatly. What we do know of their actions proves the passengers to have been genuinely heroic, but the editor's knife cast a shadow over them. In this dramatisation, phone calls were deliberately omitted. In an unrelated turn of events shortly before the meeting, a paperwork problem resulted in Risk Metrics missing a deadline to participate in an industry conference that it had attended annually at the World Trade Center.
As it turned out, Moss started work that day around 8 a. The air was so crisp, no humidity. It always stuck out in my mind what a beautiful day it was. Moss survived, but the horrors he witnessed that day in lower Manhattan still move him. It changed my perspective on life.
Coping with the death of her husband may have gotten easier over the last 20 years, but former New Fairfield resident Jane Blackwell says time has not healed all wounds.
