Customer Reviews of Twin Towers
Brief but a great memorial This 35 minute documentary really illustrates the quality and heroism of the people that died on September 11, 2001 in New York. <
> <
>This film is a brief tribute to a few of them. Particularly the Vigiano family that lost two sons (a firefighter and a police officer)in the World Trade Centers. These men and those like them were heroes and civic role models. <
> <
>No greater love has a person than to lay down ones life for a friend. <
> <
>After watching this film, I am moved to say thank you to every police officer, firefighter and first response person. I was saddened by the tragedy but also extremely encouraged to get a glimpse at the quality of goodness in the people that helped save so many lives that day. <

Twin Towers, an example of true service to the community.
Twin Towers shows the true commitment of a small portion of the NYPD to the safety of people living in and visiting New York City. While the Vigiano family lost two sons, there were 13 other ESU officers killed on 9/11 and two others from the same squad; Officer John D'Allara, a former teacher and 17 year ESU veteran and Sgt Mike Curtin who was a former Marine Sgt. Major who fought in Desert Storm and was a rescuer at the first Trade Center Bombing and also did rescue and recovery work at the Oklahoma City Bombing.

Rodney Gillis, PO Brian McDonnell, PO Vincent Danz, PO Jerome Dominguez, PO Walter Weaver, PO Stephen Driscoll, PO Santos Valentin, PO Ronald Kloepfer, PO Thomas Langone and PO Paul Talty.
Stirring Documentary of NYPD and America's Saddest Day
"The Twin Towers" started out as a documentary about the New York City Police Department's Emergency Services Team (EST), the elite group of police officers that deal with everything from suicidal people determined to jump off bridges to hostage situations. The story of these heroic young men so intrigued television producer Dick Wolf (best known for the "Law & Order" series) that he began this documentary as a means of selling a network on committing to a series based on the day-to-day lives of these men and their fascinating job. It's entirely conceivable that such a show would have come to fruition, had not the events at the World Trade Center taken place.

<
>As noted by the editorial review, this documentary feels abruptly cut short: after all, the main subject of the piece,
<
>DET Joseph V. Vigiano, died in the September 11th attacks. What began as a look at the lives and work of the EST becomes a memorial to what we lost that day in the form of a father who lost his two sons (Det. Joseph Viggiano and his brother John, a NYC fireman) in the attacks.

<
>It is the incompleteness of this documentary, and the profound sense of unfulfilled curiosity about the men it profiles, that leads me to grant the story four stars instead of five. In no way is it an idictment of its' ability to stir and inspire.
