Did you know
• The city of New York absolutely prohibited the recreation of 9/11 destruction or chaos on location. The filmmakers were not even allowed to film actors looking upward toward where the towers would be. The drive of the officers up to the site was permitted to be filmed, but all scenes depicting events at or near the WTC were filmed in Los Angeles.
• The rubble set was so convincing that the real William Jimeno confessed to feeling post-traumatic stress while visiting it.
• Fifty real-life members of PAPD, NYPD and FDNY (some of whom participated in the actual rescue) were flown to Los Angeles to film the chain of men moving stretchers out of the rubble.

Good intentions and some powerful moments but overall a disappointment
National tragedy as formula storytelling
A surprisingly good film
