Summary: An excellent addition to the archives
Review: Here is a slice of life that historians will be studying decades from now. The transformation from Typical Slow News Tuesday Morning to "9/11" is riveting and immediate. You can almost feel the adrenaline shoot through the newsroom as the news spreads. The coverage here is balanced and insightful. The individual reporters tell their stories, and then the footage of the day is played. At one point, we see a young newswoman's face screwed up in grief as she interviews the nephew of one of the window washers. There is no censorship here- the crowds react like typical New Yorkers- and even the usually staid DC population is seen running in horror. The raw immediacy of the unfolding tragedy is very obvious. It is clear that some of the camera crews were themselves in danger of being injured or killed in the process of taping what we saw. This is definitely a keeper. Get the DVD.

Summary: Very respectful
Review: I bought this disc after having watched the first part on CNN. Kudos to them for putting together such a respectful account of the horrible day that changed America forever. It brings back all the pain and anguish caused by the events of 9/11...and things you tend to forget. The images of the planes going into the Twin Towers is indelible. But the interviews with relatives and loved ones on the streets of NYC, holding photos of their missing family and friends...are just as powerful. Try not to lose your own composure as you watch a CNN reporter nearly lose it on camera after talking to the son of a window washer who was just doing his job that day. As someone who was born in NYC and spent most of my life there, I watched this with a heavy heart and will treasure it forever.

Summary: America
Review: I have just finished watching this with my wife 05.02.2003.
All i can say is well done CNN.
from when the program started to when it finished you can only try to imagine how the people of New York and America must have felt. Both of us had tears in our eyes.
A brilliant disc well worth a look.

Summary: God Bless America
Review: I puchased this DVD and it brought tears and sadness to my heart all over again. Its reminds me of how proud I am to be an American! The coverage and footage is great. It was all the news coverage by CNN, the day of 11Sep and days after.
Everyone should watch this again, just to remind themselves how lucky we are to be alive and to live in America.

Summary: Obtained to Verify Evidence
Review: I purchased the 2002 version of this DVD primarily to
verify certain evidence that appeared in the video, "911
in Plane Site." Overall, it's a depressing experience
watching the video. Too bad the video "911 in Plane Site"
is not available on Amazon.com.
This video includes the footage of the plane penetrating
the South Tower. If you step through it frame by frame,
you can see that the underside of the plane appears
warpped and there appears to be a pod of some sort
attached under the right wing where it connects with the
fuselage.
There are exactly three possibilities regarding that pod:
1. The pod is a digital artifact or an inadvertent fake.
2. The pod is a hoax -- the video was altered.
3. The pod is real.
We can rule out possibility 1. The pod casts a shadow on
the underside of the plane. Also, when you step through
the video as the plane enters the building, three dots
appear. Two correspond to the two jet engines. The third
occurs where the pod is.
Possibility 2 is unlikely on the CNN video. They probably
got the video very early after the 9/11 attacks, and the
video is unlikely to have been hoaxes.
Possibility 3 is the only remaining possibility.
Something is attached to the bottom of the plane --
something that does not belong on a commercial airliner.
In other words, the plane that hit the building was not a
commercial airliner.

Summary: 11 Septembre 2001 : One day that shook the world forever
Review: I saw tonight the first part of the "CNN Tribute" I ordered through Amazon a few weeks ago. I rate it 5 stars torned between the quality of the documentary and the horror of this mass murder(but no horror can be rated).
Tonight,I relived this blind attack as if it was yesterday and once again I was overwhelmed by my feelings, weeping silently with sadness and revolt and for the victims...
That day, as I was getting ready to go to work, a friend of mine called me and told me "America is under attack, it is terrible, turn your TV on,it is war !" She was crying on the phone.
I seize the opportunity to say how I appreciate everyday the professionalism and competence of CNN journalists.
I will never forget the way ALL OF THEM covered 9/11 despite the tremendous shock of the events. You could feel their emotions but they were there, still there, for hours, round the clock...
"America Remembers" IS ESSENTIAL AND INCONTOURNABLE !!

Summary: Unbelievable but America still needs to learn..
Review: I still remember the day when I it happened. This DVD will bring you back to the moment it took place. Well edited and good conditions of shots. But it kind of make you think that "Were there any others besides whites?" It seems like everyone whos been interviewed were non colored folks. I know we can do way better than this now. Things like that happens for reasons. I thought our country had learned something. However it's a good DVD to have and show your kids later.

Summary: GREAT DOCUMENTARY!
Review: I've seen other videos about September 11th, 2001, which were also good. I wanted something to see. Something to recodnize with. Though I have too say CNN's coverage of 9/11 is an outstanding documentary of that horrific, dark day. CNN puts all the terrifying events in chonological order following the aftermath. The video starts out in the CNN news room, reacting to the first plane crash at the World Trade Center. It gots some incredible footage, (some I'd never seen before) really took my breath away. The second plane crash into World Trade Center 2, was far the most desturbing piece on the video. Then it shows people falling from the towers and the screaming pedestrians below. It shows the other plane crashes in Pennsylvania and the Pentagon. Then moves on to the Anthrax scare and President Bush's congressional speech, which was very informative. If your looking for a straight-forward of the events on September 11, 2001... This is it... GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Summary: Not Totally 9/11
Review: If you are looking for a complete chronicle of the events of 9/11/01, this really isn't it. It's a chronicle of the events plus the nation's reactions afterwards. I would have much preferred to see the faces and reactions of the CNN news anchors as they reported what was going on during 9/11. Although this is well produced, it isn't a totally 9/11 presentation and individuals who are thinking about this being a chronicle of CNN's coverage of the events should remember that almost 2/3 of this DVD concerns our reactions after the event.

Summary: Can't watch it without crying
Review: It has often been suggested in popular culture during the past year that such a momentous tragedy would call for an equally momentous tribute. CNN has done it. "America Remembers" was a special two-hour episode of "CNN Presents" that aired right before the one-year anniversary of Sept. 11. As I watched the program that Sunday night, I was enrapt. It was almost as if I had forgotten the sheer poignancy of it all. CNN brought back all of the raw emotion of that week, and if you think that's a bad thing, you're wrong. That's journalism at its very finest. It really impressed me to see some of the "star" anchors of the network (Paula Zahn, Larry King, Aaron Brown, and others) sit down in front of the camera and articulate what was going through their minds as the events unfolded. Brown's comments were especially emotional, partly because he was on the air as both of the towers collapsed and also partly because he is the most human anchor who has ever broadcast the news, or at least the news that I have witnessed. His narration is what makes the documentary the best that has been ever made or will be ever made about September 11. Right after "CNN Presents" was over, I immediately went online and ordered the tape. I honestly did not feel like I could live without seeing it again. It was that powerful. Thank you, CNN, for providing the public with a way to commemorate the terrible, tragic September 11th of the past, as well as all of the sorrowful September 11ths to come.
