As thousands once again prepare to show their respects to those who lost their lives, TV Channels across the Globe have been desperately searching for that new twist, that one thing that will shed new light on the fateful day in 2001.
Programmes covering Conspiracy Theories or the effect of the Ash that lingered days after the collapse of the World Trade Centre have been hitting our screens, but the one that really has that Je ne sais quoi is a BBC Documentary, originally shown on Tuesday 6th 2011 entitled simply "The Twins of the Twin Towers".
Over 2,735 people were killed in the ferocious attacks, and a number of them were Twins. This hour-long documentary looks at how the Surviving Twin coped without their "Other Half".
The Twins asked why they had survived, and not their sibling. Many of the Twins blamed luck, others blamed fate, whilst one said that she felt as though her brother had told her not to enter the building, even though he was already dead.
The connection between the Twins seemed unbelievable. One Twin told of how he felt nothing until the 2nd tower fell, at which point he got up and told his Boss "I'm leaving. My brother just died".
A very powerful and moving documentary, which offers a brand new twist on the all too familiar story of that awful day in September 2001. If you're going to watch a programme about 9/11, then choose this one. Not for the easily upset as it contains distressing images.
8/10
Facinating. I did not know about this and will seek out the programme now that I do.
ReplyDeleteThe 8/10 made me sense a whiff of C&P - was there some of that?
Doesn't matter. The subject is very interesting with the potential to be even more so.
