The video "102 minutes" is a great documentary about the tragedy that happened on 9/11. I believe that it is a great resource for teachers to
use in front of classes. It is a mixture of many videos taken while the Twin Towers were being burned down, edited in such a great way that every minute of the event is covered with news broadcasts, police radio recordings, etc. This video explains not what talk show hosts think the reason was behind the attack, but what common people were thinking while many of their loved ones were being murdered. This is also a great documentary to show due to the fact that many of us kids were too young to remember, and learning about this calamity answers many questions that linger on the back of our minds. It is completely appropriate, and is a wonderful way to teach 
students about one of the worst days in America's, and the world's, history. YouTube makes watching the entire 1 hour and 40 minutes possible for free, so teachers, parents, and students can play it as many times as necessary.

My 8th grade History teacher showed this to my class yesterday, the 11th anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11. This is the reason I decided to write about how great of a video this is.
