Naudet brothers 9/11 documentary where are they now

Released on CBS in March , this emotionally raw and traumatic minute documentary showed audiences what the first responders — many of which perished attempting to save people in the World Trade Center and surrounding area — saw as they became part of history. One part of the documentary that sticks out after all this time is how the Naudet brothers become separated from one another in the midst of the chaos and destruction.

The brothers, though terrified, lost, and confused, continue to capture footage to tell a complete story of everything that unfolded on a day no one will ever forget. To help better explain everything that transpired that day to young children, HBO released What Happened on September 11 in , a minute documentary that combines conversations between school children and survivors with brief segments touching on different aspects of the attacks.

On one hand, it does a brilliant job of explaining everything to young children but on the other it helps parents come up with ways to have those difficult conversations with their children. As a parent, documentaries like this help me figure out what and what not to include when explaining September 11, to my young children.
