The 9/11 Hotel – Part 5 of 5

Seven years after 9/11, this powerful documentary brings a fresh angle on the terrorist attack. It reveals the extraordinary stories of the people trapped in the 22-storey Marriott World Trade Center Hotel, which nestled beneath the twin towers. Up until now, these stories of luck, sadness, bravery and heroism have rarely been reported; this impressive programme more than compensates. The Marriot was one of New York’s busiest hotels. At 8.45am on 11 September 2001, the hotel was at full …

    I use to go to the gym in the Marriott hotel after work. the arrangement of machines was not normal. The machines were all around the swimming pool almost on the top floor. So we were working out around people swimming.

    Interesting comment beginning @ 7:00: “..it’s easy to become indifferent to people.” … and his decision to make a conscious change in his outlook.

    Also interesting that it takes a disaster or a near-death situation to put someone into this state of mind. Until then even the ‘citizen of the year’ will continue to further his own interests usually at the expense of everyine else.

    Interesting too is how in this case as well ‘evil’ is the father of ‘goodness’!

    Excellent video; with all of the documentaries of 9/11 focused on WTC & the Pentagon, you forget that the Marriott was in the midst of trouble, also. Thank you for uploading this documentary; it is greatly appreciated and once again shows me know how miraculously blessed some were to get out of those attacks alive. Again, thank you.
