Introduction -- Tuesday, September 11 -- Wednesday, September 12 -- Thursday, September 13 -- Friday, September 14 -- Saturday, September 15 -- Sunday, September 16 -- Monday, September 17.

Review: "Watching the world change is a unique and powerfully affecting account of the most universally observed news event in human history: the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001." "Imperiled office workers, horrified tourists, professional photographers, documentary makers who happened to be filming in downtown Manhattan that day: these were the people who, facing disaster, took photographs of it, and so placed the horror of the attacks before our eyes. Their images were beamed around the world immediately, so that two billion people watched the terrible events as they were happening."
