i saw this last night. been thinkin about it since.

it was not what i expected, i expected a sort of "rah rah, we`re americans, watch us kick the ass of the terrorists who took that plane over, lets do it for uncle sam! lets be heros, live or die! Wooooooooo!" but thats about as far from the the portrayal as i can think. the actors who play the passengers do it very well, just like everyday people reacting to such a terrible situation. a lot of focus is on the air traffic controllers, and that day for them must`ve been a total nightmare. some very chilling lines, and moments. but you should see it for yourself. i dont know how factual some of the accounts are but meh

9/11 is still a fucking joke
