9/11: Inside the President's War Room (2021)
Memories etched into your mind forever
I find it completely and utterly incredulous how ignorant some people are these days as well as back in those days (ie. Top post as well as the rest of the negative reviews).
I didn't really want to watch this documentary for the simple reason being, it's so incredibly painful to watch. Those horrifying memories etched into our minds forever, that play out like some incomprehensible horror movie stuck on replay for the rest of our lives. But alas, I ultimately decided to watch in hopes that it would be some sort of vindication for the President and his team and the decisions they had to make in such an unimaginable crisis.
It was brilliantly curated, you absolutely feel the pain and suffering and many other emotions they all had to experience (like every single other American, they are human after all), while having to wrap their minds around the magnitude of what was unfolding before their eyes (when they had a television signal) and what they needed to do about it. I had a lot of respect for the President back then and even more for him now. I'm glad they finally got to tell their side of the story, they deserve to tell their story.
I can 100% absolutely guarantee that the naysayers in here (those that would have "done so much better had they been President") AT THE TIME, fully appreciated the President's "I'm going to kill you, without saying I'm going to kill you" address to the nation after watching all that horror unfold.
Their actions were completely justified, it's so very easy to throw stones after the fact. How easily people forget that tragic day, and that defining moment that changed our world forever.
