We have to say, it was hard to the point of almost getting up and leaving at one point...knowing it was based on true events. My imagination hadn't conjured up quite all that the victims must have gone through being buried in the rubble. The movie relaxes tension just when you need it, the conversation between the two trapped men is so real, so exactly what you'd "joke" about and want to share about your family. The heroes make you cry with relief. This is also a laughing through your tears movie... My favorite line, when hope of rescue was first apparant, Will Jimeno called up through the rubble, "Please don't leave us!" And the man replied, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm a Marine, and YOU ARE MY MISSION!" What a lifeline, for those men. That someone would be risking their life after dark, ready for any challenge and promise not to give up. Only 20 people were pulled alive from the towers and these two men were #'s 18 and 19. Awesome...and Jesus has done this and will continue to do this for any who call on His name. I highly recommend this movie. Two cautions: there's bad language, and if you lost a loved one in the 9/11 attacks it would definitely be one to wait and watch in the privacy of your home once it comes out on DVD.
