A new ABC News special titled “102 Minutes” has been released, offering intimate, firsthand narratives from survivors and first responders who were inside the World Trade Center during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The documentary arrives as the nation approaches the anniversary of the tragedy, with security measures being heightened across New York City in anticipation of commemorative events. The special highlights perspectives that have rarely been shared publicly, focusing on the harrowing experiences of individuals who endured the 102 minutes between the first plane hitting the North Tower and the collapse of the South Tower.
ABC News has positioned the release within its broader coverage of the 9/11 remembrance, which includes additional reporting on the long-term health impacts faced by first responders and the ways survivors have found healing through media projects.
The broadcast is available for streaming on Disney+ and represents the latest in a series of documentaries produced by the network to mark the anniversary of the attacks.
102 minutes must have felt like an eternity. Glad someone is finally sharing these untold perspectives properly.
Another anniversary documentary? I feel like we keep rehashing the same stories instead of focusing on healing.
Streaming on Disney+ seems odd for such heavy subject matter. Would not have expected it there.
My uncle was a first responder. Does this special mention the long-term health issues they are still facing today?
This sounds incredibly powerful. I hope more people watch it to understand what those survivors truly endured.
