Advantages: A Good Insight into the Survivors Battle Disadvantages: Very sad if you only focus on the event and not the rescue mission
WorldTrade Centre, as it says on the DVD cover, is definitely a true story of courage and survival. I saw this in my local Asda and thought it would be interesting to watch. It did not disappoint me.
THE FILM
The film is based on the tragic events of the September 11th disaster in America where the WorldTrade Centres were flown into by 2 planes and ultimately collapsed.

The team is trapped and only one of them is able to move and as he starts to try to free the others the rest of the tower falls down and he then is also trapped.
