9-11 Phone Calls From The Towers | Thursday 16 September, 8.30pm ABC1

On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 families lost a loved one when terrorists flew two hijacked planes into the twin towers in New York. Trapped inside the towers many people tried to make desperate contact with the outside world. Some were able to speak on the phone. Others could only leave messages. Since that day families have lived with the memory of these final words from their loved ones. These recordings shed light on what really happened inside the towers - but they also reveal something more profound - about the choices people make in their final moments - who to turn to and what to say. Dignified and full of love, they show humanity at its best and most courageous.

@lilangelsandairwaves What will that do?

If the president WHERE there at the ti-....thats kind of suspicoiuse.

The president it ussualy at the white house, and on 9/11 he wasnt.

But thats not the point, if the president died, they elect a new one or the vice president becomes president. also there is no more then at least 100 people in the white house, but the pentagon is another story..

Plotchickens I understand that maybe you can't grasp the tragedy that this is. Maybe you cope with it by making jokes, but try to have some compassion and think more of the victims and not what makes you comfortable. These were everyday people like you and me who were just living a day like any other and then they are gone. And not gone in a way that anyone would ever chose to go. Don't post jokes that anyone linked to this tragedy could stumble upon.
