102 Minutes: The Untold Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers (2005) Kevin Flynn (Author) Jim Dwyer (American journalist) (Author)
102 minutes is all that it took from the moment of impact of the airplane with the first tower to the final collapse of the second tower on September 11, 2001. Although the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center has become legendary, New York Times writers Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn manage to bring a deeply personalized perspective to the incidents inside the buildings during those 102 minutes. Based on hundreds of hours of emails, radio transcripts, phone messages, and personal interviews, Flynn and Dwyer not only convey the range of reaction and experience of the people inside the towers during the attacks, but also take to task the authorities for everything from safety failures to faulty communication and lack of terrorist preparation.
