As an announcement tells people to remain where they are, those in the south tower watch with shock as the north tower burns after being hit by a hijacked plane. When the second plane hits, civilians in the south tower have to find a way to escape from the top floors to safety. Paramedics at street level face an onslaught of both the badly injured and casualties. They race against time to save lives.

Survivors become separated when they are engulfed by a gigantic dust cloud after the fall of the south tower.

First responders look at the vast pile of debris at ground zero and wonder how anyone could still be alive. But one group of firefighters who were inside the north tower as it collapsed managed to survive miraculously. Now they are trapped, and as they radio "mayday" for help, other firefighters must race against time to locate and rescue their "brothers" in a dangerous and unstable ocean of rubble.
6 It's All Gone, Kid

In the aftermath of the towers collapsing, two former Marines and an ex-paramedic head to ground zero to search for survivors. Together they stumble upon two Port Authority police officers trapped 50-feet beneath the rubble. Putting their own lives on the line and against all odds, the volunteers manage to pull off one of the most daring and inspiring rescue stories of the day.

I was only 8 years old when this had happened and at that time, I honestly had no idea what was going on. It took me 20 years to understand what had took place and that made me bawl my eyes out. I had trouble watching this series when it first appeared.... I waited several months before I tried again. This is beyond heartbreaking and I am so sorry for all the people that had to endure this tragedy. I feel for everyone. I wish I could give each of them one big hug because I know they need it!!
