A true reproduction of that morning

I don't know how many people have seen both Flight 93 and United 93 like me. First watched Flight 93 and reviewed it as United 93. In all fairness, Flight 93 is a pretty good movie, and it's cheap (because it's a TV movie), so the story focuses on the cabin, air traffic control, and the homes of passengers on the ground. The plot is more of a drama, and it is full of tension from beginning to end.

But United 93 is absolutely unbeatable. Not to mention anything else, just the actors inside, including the commander of the air traffic control center and the commander of the military base, many of them were the personal experience of 9/11, and they were playing themselves, (such as Ben Sliney, 9/11) 11 was his first day as head of the FAA's Virginia Control Center), giving the entire film an unimaginable sense of realism. United 93 felt tense and more helpless, and that helplessness was what everyone really experienced that morning. What happened? Is the hijacking real? What hit the World Trade Center? Another plane? America is under attack! ! But which plane? What, American Airlines 11 is still flying in the sky? Do we have fighter jets available? Another one was hijacked? Damn, what the hell happened? ... We watched the chaos in the sky and the ground, but someone made a decisive decision at a critical moment, "What we want is not an update, we want action!"

The situation in the cabin, United should be better than Flight is closer to reality. What the passengers learned from the phone was chaotic and vague, but they decided they couldn't sit still. They did not raise their hands to vote, but whispered to discuss ways to attack. When they called their families to say goodbye, their voices were trembling, and they couldn't help themselves or even go on. We'll never know what really happened at the time, but I think as an ordinary person, United 93's rendition is more believable.

The end of the film came to an abrupt end, and my breathing seemed to stop as well. Oh yes, that was that morning.

(For those who have seen Flight 93, I highly recommend watching United 93 again.)
