It's a movie!
Yep, and a very well-done one at that. All the actions depicted onboard the aircraft are speculation. Not all. They have the results of 20+ phone calls made from the plane. They know what was being planned. There may be some factual descriptions about what was happening with ATC and NORAD as NPR has been reporting all weekend that the actual people portrayed themselves in those roles. Yes, ATC has the real-deal ring of truth. What's really nice is that they don't dumb it down or explain everything. If you understand ATC-speak, you "get it" -- if you don't, it's probably gibberish. It didn't seem to bother anyone in the theater -- but it sure added to our movie experience, and I really appreciate the fact that the director did it that way. Best of all, they made the movie based on the actual timeline of events. Things unfold at precisely the same pace that they did on September 11th, which really gives it an authenticity it would not otherwise have. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
