102 Minutes

The Untold Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers

De: Jim Dwyer, Kevin Flynn

Narrado por: Ron McClarty

The dramatic and moving account of the struggle for life inside the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, when every minute counted.

At 8:46 AM on September 11, 2001, 14,000 people were inside the twin towers -- reading e-mails, making trades, eating croissants at Windows on the World. Over the next 102 minutes, each would become part of a drama for the ages, one witnessed only by the people who lived it -- until now.

New York Times reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn rely on hundreds of interviews; thousands of pages of oral histories; and phone, e-mail, and emergency radio transcripts. They cross a bridge of voices to go inside the infernos, seeing cataclysm and heroism, one person at a time, to tell the affecting, authoritative saga of the men and women -- the 12,000 who escaped and the 2,749 who perished -- who made 102 minutes count as never before.

A must listen too

I have read many books, stories and watched movies and shows relating to 9/11. This book, in my opinion, would have to be at the top or very near the top of the list of material relating to that fateful day. It is very captivating and extremely gut-wrenching. This book tells the story from a perspective of inside the WTC. Since that day, I have always said that I cannot imagine what it must have been like for the people inside the towers. This book lays it out in horrific detail. I will listen to this book again, after a bit of time.

Phenomenonal

A riveting book. Everything is good here. All I wanted to know and a lot I didn't know I wanted to know.

Gripping, Terrific, In-depth storyline.

The title has great narration. Loads of in-depth information about NYC emergency responders, the twin tower and stories from 9/11/2001. Couldn't stop listening! Highly recommend this!

Compelling and Emotional

This audiobook will have you at the edge of your seat, your heart beating fast and feeling extremely emotional all at the same time. For us who clearly remember the events of 9/11 in real time, this audiobook presents a perspective that no news reports captured during those times. The narrator was also excellent in his delivery.

September 11

Read it years ago. Listened via audible this time. Can't believe it happened over 20 years ago now. This reading took me back in time to a history changing event
