I'm working on a project that I thought this community might be interested in.
 
'Tuesday Morning in September' is a two hour account of 9/11. It is continuous, in real-time. It is emotional, but genuinely so. The account is captured from a fire escape in Jersey City, across the Hudson River. The videographer, Jim Kosior, can be considered the conduit. There are several other individuals in this account that make this unequivically unique. Jim's extenuating circumstances, outside of the World Trade Center attacks, give the viewer contrast and shifts attention to other happenings in Jim's life on 9/11.
 
'Tuesday Morning in September' begins innocently at breakfast, 15 minutes before the first strike, with his downstairs neighbor. At one moment, Jim is staring down at an omelet and the next he begins to film what, in time, may be concerned the most inclusive account of the events we know as 9/11.
 
The vantage that 'Tuesday Morning in September' is captured from is one of two main iconic views that people coming into Manhattan experience. During the filming there's panning that encapsulates the entirety of the cityscape. To the left of the World Trade Center is the Empire State Building and to the right stands the Statue of Liberty in the Hudson Bay. The moment that you see these two monumental national symbols, you begin to understand your surroundings. The footage allows you to grasp the environs in a manner that is lacking in any account known.
 
This account is the virtual reality that allows viewers to experience the events of 9/11 without the steady release of adrenaline, that so many prevalent accounts have exhibited. 'Tuesday Morning in September' presents a bearable view of what happened that fateful day.
 
Throughout the account you will notice that Jim's response to the cathastrophe is nothing short of a genuine human reaction to such an overwhelming stimuli. At times, the emotions are so viseral that you feel what Jim is feeling and even sense what he is thinking and going to say. It is as if you are there with Jim on that fire escape.
 
Perhaps the most interesting piece to 'Tuesday Morning in September' is the fact that Jim has another issue at hand during the account. For a short time, attention is shifted from World Trade Center to the Empire State Building. The reason for this is because Jim's wife works only blocks away from the Empire State Building. Jim pleads with his wife, over the phone, to get out of New York City.
 
'Tuesday Morning in September' showcases what many Americans might have felt that day. Being uncertain of what was going to happen next. Or perhaps, this account will be what some Americans take away as their account of 9/11.
