Each World Trade Center tower consisted of 110 floors. Each floor has a story. In this two-hour special, survivors from two of those floors, many speaking publicly for the first time, tell their stories. Their experiences are harrowing, and recounted in astounding detail--from two men who volunteered to carry a stranger down 65 perilous flights of stairs, to the small group determined to get their pregnant coworker to safety, and to those who fought through flames and falling debris just one floor below the impact zone. Focusing on one floor in the North Tower and one floor in the South, this film will provide a never-before-achieved intimacy with what it was really like to be inside the Twin Towers on 9/11.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, dozens of elevators in the World Trade Center turned into hurtling coffins when two commercial airliners crashed into the towers. Most of the hundreds of people who were traveling in the buildings' elevators were either killed instantly or made their escape within a matter of seconds, but several others were caught on elevators that had stopped between floors--trapped, with no way out. In this 9/11 special, survivors tell their wrenching stories about the horrors of being trapped in the burning towers and their amazing fight to survive. Some of them have never before shared the drama of their escape with television viewers. But now, against actual footage from the day, re-enactments, and vivid graphics, the passengers on World Trade Center elevators recount how they were caught in a cruel twist of fate and how by luck or by sheer determination they managed to cheat death.

9/11/2001 had 2,977 fatalities in NYC & 125 at the Pentagon. This is the tale of 12 survivors.

On September 11, 1941, the U.S. War Department broke ground on a massive new five-sided headquarters that would rise to become the ultimate symbol of the American military. 60 years to the day after construction began, a hijacked airliner crashed into the building as part of the largest coordinated terror attack ever on American soil. Told by the men and women who lived it, this is the dramatic story of what happened inside the building in the harrowing minutes after impact; a raw eyewitness account of tragedy, heroism, and survival on the day that forever transformed a nation.

The largest terror attack in our nation's history left images seared into our conscience that will never be forgotten. But for those caught in the middle, the memories are as strong today as they were in 2001. Hear the harrowing experiences of a trader who worked in the World Trade Center, a firefighter, a Port Authority officer, an ER doctor, an NYPD rescue worker, and a news reporter who were at Ground Zero, as well as a Pentagon contractor, an Airfone operator communicating with Flight 93, and the head of FAA operations as they experienced the tragic unfolding of a day none had dreamed possible.
