This is an accurate depiction of the events which took place on the 4th hijacked plane of Sept. 11. Noah Lee Margetts as Todd Beamer plays the role with just the right amount of stress and not to much fear. The hijackers all play their roles with absolute fidelity. All the passengers including Laura Brook and Gia Francis interpret their roles with affection and real emotion.
Although shot on video format, giving the show a TV feel, the piece overcomes this and still manages to rip the heart strings right out of your chest. Based on real phone calls and interviews with those with whom the passengers were talking, Chris Oxlev does a marvelous job of turning these facts into a tangible medium for the expression of an emotional and important telling of events. Highly recommended.
