It's love that keeps them alive

Without much description, everything that happened during the entire disaster was revealed in understatement. The film is not just about documenting the entire disaster, but it is also promoting a message of solidarity and love for each other. People can live on as long as they have love. In the face of death, the love between teammates, their love for their lover and their family helped them survive.

Doug was hit in the process of saving his teammates and fired at the last second of his sacrifice, which made me a question mark. Why did he fire the gun? Is it for your own sacrifice? Or to attract the attention of rescuers at the last moment of sacrifice, so that their companions can be saved?

The scene of John and another teammate encouraging each other at the juncture of life and death is touching.
The scenes of relatives and friends encouraging each other and taking care of each other make people see the kindness of human beings.

When John was in a hurry for the emergency rescue team, he did not order anyone to go, but on a voluntary principle, whoever wanted to go would be listed.

When the rescue team did not arrive at the scene, some people were willing to come forward and risk their lives to rescue the wounded buried in the rubble. Before going down to save people, don't forget to confess your love to your lover and family. That is true, but also reflects the American side that is good at expressing their love.

The Navy Road Army's center guard stepped forward, looking for survivors in the rubble as New York City police and firefighters abandoned their search. It's ironic, but also a tribute to the unsung heroes who have come forward. Reminds me of superman when he shows up at the disaster scene.

In general, this movie made me understand the whole process of 9/11 more deeply, and how people encourage and love each other during the disaster; how the police, firefighters, rescue workers, etc., save lives .
