I think the controversy the last time around was about the sounds of the bodies of the jumpers hitting the ground and the tops of the building when the fireman gathered in the lobby.

And that the filmmakers were French. The movie was broadcast right when the French were leaving us out to dry and people weren't inclined to give these two the benefit of the doubt.

But I remember -- it was near the end, when the French brother who got the footage reappeared at the firehouse. His brother had thought he was dead and rushed over to him, but he walked right past and into the arms of a fireman. That brother and the fireman held each other and both sobbed.

Although the brothers who filmed the documentary are French, on that day they acted more like Americans. Their film is an important historical document.
