World Trade Center 4K 2006

September 11 will forever remain in human memory as a day of catastrophe. In just a few hours, 2,974 people lost their lives. Among them were 341 firefighters and 2 doctors, 60 police officers, and 8 ambulance workers. These people died trying to save others, clearing debris and helping people escape. If vaunted heroism has disappeared and feats are no longer honored, how can we explain that people tried to help others until the last seconds of their lives?

Since the disaster, we have remembered those who did not survive, offered our condolences to their relatives, and admired those who managed to escape. But for some reason, we don't often remember the firefighters who put out the fires to free the way to those trapped. The police officers who led people out until the towers collapsed. The volunteers who came from all over the world to help in any way they could. They cleared the rubble by hand, even though they could have been at home with their families.

World Trade Center is a film about two police officers who were trapped under the rubble after the collapse of the trade center. It shows how they survived those 24 hours, how they supported each other, what they thought about. What can a person think about when they are buried under concrete slabs, with no water and only excruciating pain in their body? All they have left is hope. Hope that they will be found, that someday they will definitely be found and that their families will be told everything they didn't have time to say. But the hours pass, and all around them are still only beams and collapsed floors. Then all that remains is to believe that a new day will definitely come and that you will see the light again.

This story, based on real events, cannot leave you indifferent. When you realize that someone went through all this, it is much harder to watch. After all, someone was lying there, not knowing if they would be dug out or not. And someone was making their way through narrow passages to help, wondering if the ceiling would hold or collapse on their head. We must remember the courageous and brave people who proved themselves on that terrible day. The desire to help others is still alive in many hearts, and as long as it is with us, our world has a right to exist.

September 11 will forever remain in the memory of humanity as a day of catastrophe. But let us not forget those who tried, fought, and did not give up in the face of this tragedy.
