9/11

The video I have chosen shows the plane crashing in to the building from many different perspectives, using news and personal footage. The video also uses the footage of the man jumping/falling off the building I found this extremely hard to watch, and to know that he was someones father or son is heartbreaking. Towards the end of the video it shows the aftermath of the attack, this footage must of been taken straight aftet the attack as there is still smoke in the air. I think the song used in the video is by linken park and definitely helps show the sadness and devistation of the footage. At the very end of the video the quote "Only the dead have seen the end of war." - Plato is shown, I completely agree with this statement and feel that it sums up 9/11.

I remember when I found out about the attack, although I didn't hear till the end of the day when I had finished school and my dad told me and my brother to turn on the news channel. I was very young so it didn't hit me as hard as some but as I got older and grew to realise what terrorism was it did hit me, especially when I was shown the documentary '9/11' by the two French brothers at college.

It's a scary thought that this could happen again and maybe to the United Kingdom next time, I remember how scared I was when the London bombings happened as my dad works in London and to think that could happen again but twice as bad is terrifying.
