Negative Positive
Title: Amateurish
Review: Historically, this DVD is somewhat interesting, as it features scenes shot at Ground Zero on the afternoon of 9/11 (rescue workers, firemen, NYPD officers doing their job). Nothing breathtaking, a bit like watching a construction site.Nowhere does this video convey the horror and the awe of the day. There's a sequence where we see fires raging inside Building 7 (which would collapse later on in the day) but that's pretty much it as far as action is concerned.As for production value, this DVD is a straight transfer of a videotape (complete with glitches at the very start, as the VCR is ramped up in playing mode). There is no commentary (aside from a short voice over there and then) and very little thought has been put into the editing.Bottom line : this looks like the unedited footage as shot by an amateur videographer on a tragic day. Completely unenlightening.
