The filmmakers had nearly completed this video when the World Trade Center towers were attacked on September 11, 2001. They decided to have host Harry Smith create a new introduction and add new commentary that would address this terrible tragedy. The film's chief focus is on the architectural brilliance of Minoru Yamasake who designed the 1,300-foot twin towers, and the incredible construction efforts required to build them. The film still contains a construction manager's pre-September 11th comments that the towers would probably remain standing even if aircraft were flown straight into them. ~ Elizabeth Smith, All Movie Guide

Originally aired on The Learning Channel, this fascinating documentary, breaks down how the seemingly indestructible super-structure of the World Trade Center fell on September 11, 2001. The DVD does not include any extras, but is an interesting film for those who want to better understand the collapse of the two towers. ~ Sharon McRill, All Movie Guide
