Speaking of the World Trade Center, there is a pretty good documentary called The Falling Man thats worth checking out.....

9/11: The Falling Man

This horrifying, yet mesmerising film captures 9/11 as no other. The now-calmed detail offered by relatives is graphically presented. There is Jack Gentle, working across the water in New Jersey, who learnt of the first crash into the North Tower and immediately called his wife in the South Tower to see if she was all right. "Not really," was the reply. Elaine Gentle did not know that a second plane had hit her building, just that there had been another explosion. Jack and Elaine talked together until the end.

But this film's focus is the image taken by photographer Richard Drew of a man falling from the North Tower. Drew, accustomed to the filter that the camera places between him and the horror of any given moment, had just kept working. Two hours later, sorting the images at the offices of Associated Press, he called his editor over. "I really like this one," he said.

Next morning several newspapers published his picture, none more boldly than The Morning Call, in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It brought howls of protest and would not be seen again. But who was the falling man, dressed it seemed in a waiter's uniform? Esquire journalist Tom Junod decided to try to find out. This is film is ultimately a dispassionate account of his quest.

The people who did that to us are still at large.

Bonus question: Where are the conspirators in the 1993 WTC Bombing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_bombing) right now?
