History TV18 will premiere ‘9/11: The Legacy’ on Monday, September 11, 2023, at 9:00 pm to commemorate the profound impact the catastrophic day had, and the legacies of the children who suffered deep loss.
The one-hour special offers an intimate look into the events that unfolded through the subsequent days, and 20 years. It encapsulates the memories and emotions through the lens of these now young adults, who try to make sense of what they thought it meant then vs. now and share how the experience altered their lives forever.
The documentary offers tales of humanity and focuses on the historical impact of 9/11.
“From seeing the towers being struck by planes, to evacuating under suffocating smoke, covered in shards of fiberglass, discover the raw, emotional and harrowing details of how 550 students in attendance at a high school in the vicinity of Ground Zero reached home safely. This ill-fated day had a long-term impact on people’s health; by 2019, there were over 32,000 cases of 9/11 related illness,” as per the company statement
“Listen to the children of the firefighters who hauled debris from the site in the aftermath, about the “Bucket Brigade”, and the valuable legacy they left behind for the families of those affected through the 9/11 Survivors Compensation Fund. These first-responders were never properly advised on the precautionary measures to take. Years passed before studies confirmed the entire site was toxic, leaving these frontline heroes suffering from fatal cancers over a decade later,” the statement further added.
