My clammy hands grip the seat tightly turning my knuckles white. My heart beats as if something is trying to frantically pound its way from inside my chest. Frenziedly, I search for my seatbelt. It’s across my lap. Thank god! The relief that the seatbelt gives me is short lived as I hear the plane’s engines shudder under the pressure of flying against the ferocious wind. Fire erupts from one of the wings as it is hit by an enormous bolt of lightning and I feel the plane lurch forward, plummeting…

Review of On Native Soil In 2006, only five years after the most well-known attack of the 21st century, Linda Ellman completed her documentary, On Native Soil. The film went through the stories of several survivors of the 9/11 attack as well as the families of some victims, all of which were seeking answers as to how such a tragedy could happen here in the United States.

Phil Atwater's helicopter landed on the roof of the Government facility where his office was. He told the pilot an address and instructed him to bring up the coordinates to that location. Governor Commins temporary office in Bermingham would be Atwater's next stop. The pilot nodded as he began typing on his computer. Atwater hurried to the elevator door and pressed the button. The stainless steel door slid open as he stepped in and pushed the button to his floor. Trying to sort things out in…

Not a whole lot has been written about the 200+ people who committed suicide by jumping from the top of the World Trade Center Towers on September 11, 2001. There was a specific moment, as they held tightly to the windows high up above the New York streets with the relentless heat and smoke drawing closer and closer, that they decided to jump and, in that one moment, they become angels returning to their point of origin. “Falling Man” focuses largely upon the identity of only one of these…
