Did anybody watch the 9/11 thing on National Geographic?

[NTB]

And for anybody that *wants* to watch it, let me know. I captured the whole thing. Just need to re-encode it to a more managable size.

EDIT (for the mods): I put this in OT because I thought more people would see it; if it becomes too political, feel free to move it.

Can you give more info on what it was about specifically?

Can you Torrent it?

I'd like to see it... If its a reasonable size I can even host it...

I watched it. I saw a lot of footage that I hadn't seen before.

Also, I'd have to say it was pretty sad when they were showing the search crews after the towers fell, and you could hear dozens of the electronic buzzers going off that the firemen carried so they could be found in emergencies.

I am hearing about it this morning on several local radio shows. Apparently it is going to be replayed a couple times as well. I would be very interested in getting a copy; if you could, let me know or post here once you get it into a format you are happy with. Thanks :thumbsup:

From what I have been hearing, it was a very eye-opening documentary.

 

[Night201]

What channel was it on? What was the name of the documentary? I'd like to look it up.

 

[MisterJackson]

I'd like to d/l it.

Define "reasonable" - there's roughly 4 hours of video here, and I've got it split into 4 1-hour pieces.

National Geographic Channel - part of expanded basic cable, I believe. For Charter Communications here in St. Louis, it's channel 57.

I was wanting to watch it but I thought it was on the Discovery channel. Damnit! I was wondering what happened.

It covers a whole lot of ground; like I said, I have nearly 4 hours of video here, even after I cut out what few commercials they showed. Most of it seemed to be about events leading up to the actual attack.

I only have about 1 gb of storage left on my server right now... so nevermind...

Guessing torrent would be the way to go anyway...

Someone got a link on how to do this for him?

Thanks for the offer anyway If anybody has any other ideas, take your time. I'm going to set this up to burn to DVD, then start encoding it. I'll let you know as I get the pieces done.

I saw it, it started on Sunday and finished last night.

The first two hours really explain the start of the Al-qaeda from 1980-90's and the explanation on how Osama got to the top. They also show several background details about the hijackers and how they met and how they started and how they finally met with Osama... they also show how the U.S. had several chances to kill osama but stopped the mission. Finally the first two hours end with the hijackers already in the U.S. ready to go for the attack.

The second two hours explain how the got through the airport and boarded the planes and very detail explanation on when they took over and the time line of events until the strikes on NY and D.C.
They then concentrate on the Towers and Pentagon and explain were the planes exactly hit and detail explanation on why the towers fell etc etc. It's a very good documentary that will be replayed for a long time.

Edit: here is the link to the website Inside 9-11

 

[0roo0roo]

has it hit the torrents?

 

[bleeb]

nno

I sat through the first 45 minutes last night. It was very well done IMO and I would highly recommend it. It takes time to go into usually overlooked background details regarding the emergence of OBL and Al-Qaeda in general. It's particularly disturbing how many warning signs were overlooked along the nearly 10yr road to 9/11.

Personally, it was quite eye-opening, being from Brooklyn and growing up 1/2 mile from Atlantic Ave., where much of radical Islam got its start in this country.

Crap...there were 4 parts to it? I only caught the two from last night

EDIT: after reading the rest of your post (oops ) it looks like I did get the whole thing. They just ran it back-to-back over 4 hours last night.

First hour is encoded and ready to go; I just need a way to get it out, and I hope everybody's got broadband: each piece is in the 350MB range. I coul've made it smaller I guess, but I wanted to shoot for a decently-sized picture and decent audio, too. If it's too big, I can always re-encod it.

EDIT: used DIVX-5 and mp3 audio; nothing fancy.

EDIT 2: If I re-encode the first part and do the rest at 288x224, I can knock the size down 225MB or so. Should I, or would the picture be too small?

I watched it and really liked it, if you could get it all set up that would be great

I missed the first 45 min. of the 2nd day


NOTE: they seem to be replaying it next weekend if anyone missed it
