It was very well done. It focused mostly on what was going on in the plane(speculation based on phone calls), and the air traffic controller scenes were very well done which I assume were all based on hard facts. It brings the memories of that day back to life, it was a little erie watching it. I still get chills up my spine when I see the clip of the plane hitting the second tower.

I thought it was a very good movie, and I have heard nothing but good reviews about it.

Hmm. I'd go, but it would have to have a better ending. Like the crew feeding them their boxcutters -raw- just before letting them arrive back at the airport a bit before the aircraft does.

Crash, you and I think alike. I wish they would've stuffed those box cutters down there manpleasers before they took control!

I finally went to see it last night. I had seen the United 93 movie that the A & E channel produced and this one was a bit different. It was shot in a docudrama style and focused less on the character development of the passengers and more on the ATC/NORAD dilemmas that they faced. It still amazes me to this day how they grounded all of those planes and didn't have any accidents. The scene where the terrorists took over the plane though was pretty hard for me to take, but Skygirl had her kleenex in hand and was prepared!
