In the Book 102 Minutes Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn wrote about the time that elapsed before and during the unforgettable tragedy on September 11th. Each chapter of 102 Minutes was at least one minute, and in those minute the reader was provided with information about the attacks as well as the stories of workers and heroes. The authors lead the readers up to the horrible happening by giving us stories about how people led their day-to-day lives, then gradually shift to panic and intensity. They were able to accomplish this due to interviews, first-hand accounts, radio and 9-11 phone transcripts, cell phone messages, e-mails, and official reports. This led to a very detailed book about the workers inside The World Trade Centers and the heroes of September 11th. For example Dianne Defontes, a main receptionist for a major law firm, in her regular routine of unlocking the doors was

On the date of September 11th 2001, a horrific terrorist attack took place on the World Trade center. From this one act of evil caused thousands of individuals to perish in the matter of minutes.

In the movie Apollo 13, Ron Howard experienced many challenges trying to recreate authenticity in the Apollo 13 space mission’s story, while still adding his own creative spin to the movie. In April 1970, National Aeronautic Space Agency (NASA) launched a spacecraft with three astronauts on board this flight. During this mission, Apollo 13 experienced multiple issues, which caused the mission to end earlier than expected. After 20 years had passed, Jim Lovell, one of the Apollo 13, and Jeffrey Kluger wrote Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13, which chronicled this event in NASA’s lunar space history. Soon after its release, this book caught the eye of famous actor and soon to be famous director Ron Howard, which caused him to adapt

He took it as his duty to display the truth of what happened in Benghazi. The actors, producers, and extras were blessed with the presence on set of the surviving heroes of Benghazi. Mitchell Zuckoff had the same help when he wrote the book 13 hours: The inside account of what really happened in Benghazi. He had the help of the brave americans in Benghazi; Oz, Tanto, and Tig. These men were helping both Mitchell Zuckoff and Michael Bay with detailed descriptions and memories of the most stressful 13 hours of their life. They gave the actors who played them advice and imitations of what they felt like that night (Zuckoff 128). This helped Michael Bay make the most perfect scene-capturing and historically accurate action film. The words "Based on a true story" is usually exaggerated on how accurately a film depicts the real events but the movie 13 hours falsifies that

April 15, 2013 hundreds of innocent Americans were traumatized forever. The 117th annual Boston Marathon was hit with an act of terrorism. Two-hundred-sixty people lost their legs while three people lost their lives. On this day Americans realized how important security is. One thousand federal, state, and local law enforcement personnel sat down and watched surveillance footage for hours tracking the terrorist that caused the Boston Bombing to occur. April 18, 2013 the FBI released footage and images of suspects whose identity was once unknown to gain more knowledge. Due to security footage the men who committed the monstrous act were brought to justice. Without the public surveillance these terrorist would have never been found.

The day started with a routine training run for Jack Chavez and his squad members, who were all members of the NYPD Emergency Service Unit’s Apprehension Tactical Team, which was an elite group of officers trained in hunting the most dangerous criminals in New York City. The run was nothing new to most of the men, and then had run about two-thirds of the course, when they were suddenly interrupted and ordered to exit the pit and make their way to a briefing room.

The question of who was responsible came up quickly. When asked, White House officials, including Hillary Clinton, responded that the attack was spurred on by an anti-Muslim video on YouTube. The owner of the video was taken into custody. However, the truthfulness

Using London as the backdrop for the terrorist attacks in London Has Fallen it has Americans are unfamiliar with London and how the city works. We may know of London but not many can say they truly understand the British Government. This makes this movie have a twist of its own because of unfamiliar territory.

My final rating of the movie is three out of five stars because the sound effects were pretty good. The camera movements were good. The fight scenes were realistic and the characters didn’t fit their description but played their part
