The Day the Towers Fell

Description

The terrorist attack on the World Trade Center was documented by hundreds of photographers. Some were professionals who were already working in the area; others were amateurs who felt compelled to head toward the scene of destruction and photograph it. This A&E Special looks at the World Trade Center tragedy through the eyes of the people who risked their lives to capture it on film. Interviews with some of these photographers combine with a sobering array of their unforgettable images - many not previously available to the public - to paint an intensely intimate portrait of an outrage that changed the world.
