9/11 (2002) | A Film by The Naudet Brothers

On the morning of 9/11 two French filmmakers, Jules and Gedeon Naudet were making a documentary of the journey of rookie firefighter Tony Benetatos into the ranks of the FDNY. With filmmakers James Hanlon they were shadowing the Engine 7/Ladder 1/Battalion 1 Firehouse on Duane Street, New York.

They could never have known that they would get the most iconic footage of what happened on 9/11 from ground zero and the only footage of what happened inside the towers before they fell. Jules was also one of only 3 people to film the first plane to hit the North Tower.

Later in the film the brothers follow the firemen as they save dozens of people after the towers fell, and then when they get back to their fire houses and try to process what happened!

This film was first aired on March 10th 2002 on CBS.
