Critical response
John Anderson of The Wall Street Journal described the series as a "tour de force", adding: "The series is deliberately, painstakingly, enthrallingly thorough—so much so that the impact of the second plane into the south tower doesn’t occur until halfway through the feature-length opener."[12] David Sexton of New Statesman wrote: "However much you have watched footage of, or read about, the attacks, it forces you to endure the day as never before; to experience it more directly, in greater detail."[13] Melanie McFarland of Salon wrote: "By having subjects speak directly into the camera, the filmmakers create an intimacy between the survivors and the viewers that makes is easier to bear witness and relive that nightmare with them and for them."[14]
