A Wake-Up Call
angelaharveyblog15 September 2017
Honestly, I have always been entrapped by the concept of cover-ups and discrepancies involving this tragic date and I feel as though I have been given the full perspective. I have never come across a more concise and perfectly structured documentary in my life.

Not one word in this INCREDIBLE film is biased as it reveals the quite embarrassing flaws in the scenarios of 9/11. It highlights the indisputable evidence ranging from the quite ridiculous incompetence of authorities that the world has been told to trust.

This powerful and eye-opening masterpiece should be viewed by everyone. It doesn't bother bombarding the viewer with baseless conspiracies, it practically injects factual and proved information into the dishonesty.

Please, avenge the people stolen from this Earth and devote yourself to this film. Knowledge will always be power and currently the wrong people have it.

Must see
thomashulstrom-404-20044819 October 2014
If you are interested in 9/11 and what was not shown, not asked and swept under the carpet this film is a must see.

Bush, Cheney and Rumsfelds suspicious behavior investigated.

Illegal wars and thousands of innocents killed based on the official conspiracy theory - which is taken apart by this thorough film. After all those years 9/11 still dictates western policies and the loss of civilians rights.

Way more interesting and exciting than any Hollywood blockbuster - as this is the real world exposed. Absolutely filled with interesting facts. Must see.

Compelling, whether you believe the theories or not
sccoverton10 July 2015
I write this review only to provide some sense of balance, as at the time of writing there is only one other review on here.

I have no particular opinion on whether 9/11 was an inside job or not, neither do I believe in the New World Order or anything else like that. I was attracted to this film by its length and by how its arguments are constructed using publicly-available documentation, news footage, and the arguments of its /detractors/. There are some talking heads in support of the overall argument, but they are kept to a minimum. It is, in a way, an excellent example of the socratic method, whereby simply questioning a person (or organisation, or government) on its stance can cause it to break down and refute itself.

As such, it is a compelling watch. I watched it in two sittings in one day, and I didn't really feel the time. The arguments are carefully chosen, supported and summarised, each one with a single, simple question aimed at the proponents of the official story. Whatever you believe about 9/11, this is an admirably constructed documentary that is very clear in its purpose and demonstrates the kind of research and insight that is only possible in the Internet age, where disparate people of a shared mind can combine their time and resources and produce something way beyond the sum of their parts.

And to be honest, if you watch this you will at least be made aware of the very fluid nature of "truth" in a late-capitalist world, if not entirely swayed to the side of those who question the official 9/11 story. I recommend this to anyone who cares - or thinks they care - about truth, freedom and democracy.

Arguably one of the best investigative documentaries ever made
PopeyeTheSailor8 August 2020
There are a lot of documentaries about an alleged conspiracy to cover-up the true cause of 9/11. None of them reach the level of The New Pearl Harbor both on a sheer informational level as well as from a storytelling angle. If you only watch one doc related to the attacks, this is it. Period. A lot of the stuff presented is all available to the public but this is where the talent of Mazzucco shows and reminds us how powerful + important the art of film can be really be. I personally put this as the single best expository documentary of the past 10 years.

If you're not ready for 5 hours of this masterpiece, "Decade of Deception" is definitely the best out of any of the rest under 2 hours and it documents an important event related to the movement. I've watched a solid number of the most popular ones and these are the only 2 you need.

The best documentary on 9/11
berlinerhelper17 October 2015
Having recently seen this epic, seminal documentary, we were completely shocked that it has only received 2 reviews here. An absolutely must-see film for every American. Disturbing, based on an extreme proportion of scientific fact in relation to possible speculation as to what happened on September 11th (whereas most other conspiracy documentaries have offered the opposite). The film is VERY long (all three parts equal almost 5 hours) but worth every minute, breaking down every possible detail of the twin towers, Building #7, The Pentagon, the alleged "pilots", Silverstein, and an extensive breakdown of the so-called "debunking" movement that attempts to justify the "official" story from the government. It offers a clear look at the deception NIST as well as the 9/11 Report and Popular Mechanics have displayed to the world in careless, heartless arrogance. A MUST SEE!!

Masterpiece
leedalton-218242 December 2016
The major problem immediately and in the years after 9/11 is these documentaries leave you with more questions than you have answers and like most people I just said 'maybe, maybe not'.

This documentary proves without shadow of any doubt that the official events of 9/11 that we are supposed to believe as fact are completely false. I've watched this documentary 4 times now and my skeptical friends have also sat through it and we are all in agreement. False.

The documentary doesn't prove every aspect of 9/11 as 'conspiracy,' in particular, what happened to the passengers? "It's a frame" Maybe...but where did that poor lady go? Wonderfully though, the documentary after each part simply asks vital questions for each argument - instead of telling us what is what. That's crucial.

Where it slams home is the towers themselves. Wonderful, wonderful wonderful. Proves without doubt the towers came down with controlled demolition as any other explanation breaks the laws of physics, hahahaha!! I was happy that awful argument about heated metal was laid to bed. The amount of leading professionals from pilots to engineers who have joined forces to reveal what happened that day with science is overwhelming.

Give it your time and you will not be disappointing.

In my opinion, the best documentary on 9/11
riccardodp710 December 2018
Having also watched Mazzucco's first documentary on 9/11 (in Italian "11 settembre 2001: Inganno Globale") I would definitely recommend this one to anybody who is interested in the events and dark sides of the tragedy. The crucial point here is the set of questions which is posed to the debunkers and the fact that the documentary not only deals with the exposition of the problems and inconsistencies of the official version but also contains constant and precise confutations of all the vague points made by the debunkers themselves against the movement for the truth about 9/11. To be honest, I approach so called "conspiracy theories" with a lot of skepticism, but in this case, given the overwhelming amount of information and scientific data presented in this extensive work I find it very hard not to take a stance. Another fact that needs mentioning is that the documentary is available for free on YouTube by will of the director himself, or you can buy it from an official DVD store and the director himself encourages you to copy it and share it with your friends. That alone is proof to me that this is a serious project, an honest and open demand for truth and not a money grab on some funky story. This is a serious matter, and I believe that anyone who watches the movie will at least admit that the points presented are very scientific and well-researched.

A Must See Documentary
justacomment18 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
The reality is that for many Americans this video will be hard to watch because it is exhaustive, detailed, and it clearly shows that 9/11 was an inside job. However, 9/11 is the single most important event in American history, therefore, watching this is a priority. As Americans, you are tough enough to face the truth and act accordingly.

There is absolutely no way you can walk away from this video with your head in the sand any longer. Sources are cited. You literally see and hear testimony for yourself. There is just no way to get around the reality of this video. It will be difficult for you to watch. I am just being truthful, but if you turn away and do not watch, well then, deep down inside you already know the truth. You just do not want to face it. You cannot argue facts and this video simply gives you fact after fact after fact.

I wish this was not the world we live in, but it is. It just is. It is how we meet this world that defines our lives. We are not our borders. America is simply set of ideals. That is all. One of the major ideals is that we stand for truth no matter how ugly it may be. Let us meet our truth well as Americans.

The best presented evidence available in visual form that thoroughly dismantles the official 9/11 version of events
take2docs4 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I've often wondered whether the people who're dismissive of 9/11 conspiracy theories (aside from the professional 'debunkers'), if they've even bothered to examine all the meticulously detailed and well-researched information that exists on this subject outside of officially approved sources, and how it is these ridiculers can possibly regard themselves as well-informed and authorities on this subject when they cling onto their close-minded and pre-conceived biases at all costs. Far from being tinfoil hatters, quite to the contrary, many a critic of the official version of 9/11 happen to be highly educated, level-headed people. Among this camp include architects, engineers, lawyers, pilots, journalists, among other professionals. Crackpots? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

As one who has seen several documentaries debunking the official 9/11 narrative, I can state with certainty that this one is by far the best among them.

SEPTEMBER 11: THE NEW PEARL HARBOR is a documentary that contains many thought-provoking questions, for the intellectual benefit of all save, among others, 'debunkers', who for the most part are lacking in critical thinking skills and whose job it is is not to think. Indeed, why is it that when most 'debunkers' are heard defending the official line (as they are here), that they always sound a little nervous and not fully convinced of their own arguments, or sound like they're concealing information as quite possibly hired gatekeepers out protecting their masters/handlers?

Yes, there's a shot of a professional 'debunker' in this, the smug Michael Shermer, as well as others, seemingly included strictly for some comic relief. But we also get to hear from more credible and honest sources: air-traffic controllers, airline pilots, a South Tower survivor, and even a CIA whistleblower. Additionally, there are numerous brief clip-appearances from other respected sources, such as David Ray Griffin, Paul Hellyer, and Webster Griffin Tarpley.

There are so many inconsistencies and discrepancies with the official 9/11 story, with this doc pretty much covering them all, breaking each one apart until there is nothing left of them. This here is quite the deconstruction, to say the least, literally a frame-by-frame analysis at times. Suffice to say, it's not for a casual viewing audience, but intended for serious, studious minds. That being the case, it's unavoidably longwinded, that I had to watch it in intervals. If you go into it aware of this being akin to an advanced educational course, and not just something to pass away the time, how anyone could come away from it feeling the least bit disappointed is beyond me. SEPTEMBER 11: THE NEW PEARL HARBOR is in-depth, comprehensive, and I would hope not just for nerdy types to appreciate.

Although certain segments do feel draggy (as with the entire analysis of what happened to the Pentagon building), others are quite intriguing. Did I hear it correctly, "It's a frame"? Those three words in the context that they are spoken are chilling. We hear them whispered during an audio clip taken from an alleged phone-call a 9/11 passenger is said to have made to a relative. (As I listened to this snippet of audio, it reminded me of a phenomenon of what in paranormal circles is called EVP, short for electronic voice phenomenon. As a further aside, although I am highly dubious of 'reverse speech technology,' it would still be interesting to see if any telling messages could be gleaned were these audio recordings of the 9/11 phone-calls played backwards.) Whatever the case, if what is described in the film as 'Operations Northwoods' actually occurred, my next question would be, whatever became of the 9/11 passengers? Unfortunately, the doc fails to address/speculate on this glaring curiosity. Did Barbara Olson, for example, survive and might she still be alive? It's an intriguing thought.

Consider if no such thing as air piracy ever happened. The documentary makes a strong case for this and it's certainly no more outlandish a theory as the official narrative. Were there hijackers involved in 9/11 and were the planes that hit the Twin Towers commercial airliners, or military aircraft? Questions, questions, and more questions. Heck, outside of this film, I've even heard it said that yes, hijackers were involved, but that they parachuted from the planes only miles from impact, departing these craft after leaving autopilot programming in charge to finish the missions, but for me the question then has to be asked where they ever learned to operate a parachute, especially when I'm guessing a number of them probably couldn't even fly a kite.

That last remark, a little joke, but definitely not as amusing as the official 9/11 version of events and some of Dubya's outtakes and verbal blunders. Re: Dubya. Why, when shown in video clips of him reciting from scripted speeches, did he always seem to appear like he was partly smirking or on the verge of breaking out into a hearty chuckle? The guy always struck me as two-faced and when in front of the camera speaking to the nation, to me he gave off the impression as if he was always doing his best to keep a straight face while fully aware of his spouting hooey.

Soon after 9/11, many Americans were able to see through the events of what later transpired for what they actually were, wondering to themselves why the Bush administration had targeted Iran and Afghanistan for invasion, and reaching the conclusion that this was probably carried out with the intent of gaining control over the region's primary resource. Yet, as documentaries like this one leave any unbiased viewer questioning, there certainly appears to have been a much deeper level to all this.

As my own research into 9/11 has indicated to me, although the late Philip Marshall's investigation was accurate on one level (in its detailing of the Bush-Saudi connection), as one delves further into this area of study, one quickly begins to realize that there must have been even deeper layers of intrigue other and beyond a Deep State involvement. I've read several books by various 9/11 researchers, and of them the one I'd recommend most to anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding and broader picture, is a book by Joseph Farrell: "Hidden Finance, Rogue Networks, and Secret Sorcery." In my opinion, it best explains this hypothesis of there having must of been a third and ultimately controlling conspiratorial party involved (fascists of some Fourth Reich, perhaps?).

Incidentally, Marshall died under mysterious circumstances (reminiscent of patriot William 'Bill' Cooper's suspicious demise only months following 9/11 and his rather vocal criticisms of the official story). There are those who are of the belief that Marshall had been 'taken out' on account of getting too close to uncovering the truth. (May he rest peacefully, alongside JFK.)

My account isn't fake ?
cheekyma6 June 2022
The best and most revealing insight into the most insidious cover-up in the history of time .

From defying the basic principles of gravity to lying , obfuscation and lack of evidence to support "Theory".

I am firmly in the camp of A&E.

This is the accounting of the truth ,the NIST report is the conspiracy .

Watch alongside "911 The myth and the reality" .

Sobering...Truthful....Factual....
friedokra-4007810 May 2023
This documentary is one of the most thoroughly researched, honest, unbiased compilations of evidence, footage, interviews charts, graphs I have ever seen. I was stunned....a Must See for the inquiring mind.

It does utilize the Socratic method so that the viewer can make up their own mind as to what happened, why, and who benefited.

I highly encourage everyone to see this and pass it on. How it took me until 2023 to even hear of it, I don't know, but my heart goes out to the victims families, and to the still-dying firefighters who suffer from cancers due to the inhalations.

Incredibly well done...fascinating. I was floored...aghast...and sad to think that everything it reveals ... is more than likely true.

More research required
bountyfour30 July 2017
Hmmmmmm...... As other reviewers note this is a very powerful documentary, and very engaging. You cannot come out of it with a zillion questions and quite emotional. However, you have to be very very careful with this stuff. Its 5 hours long, but this is not long enough to enable the makers to cover many of the claims made in proper scientific detail. Its very easy to claim something without having to explain it properly.

Some of the questions raised here do need answering. But whilst there are problems with the official investigation, and with the NIST collapse models, some of the ideas floated here are misguided at best, plain lies at worst. There's a lot of questions over 9/11, and if you're curious then this is a good place to get an overview of the '9/11 Truth' arguments. But do not take this as gospel. Use it as a starting point to do some research.

Spectacular
tjg-3738019 April 2023
This documentary does not take any logical leaps to draw conclusions. It simply presents arguments from the official story, presents counter-facts that are extremely well sourced, and then questions the incongruence between the two. It is a well-crafted, Socratic debunking. It asks many questions we will certainly never get "official" answers to. But what is indisputable by the end is that we have been deliberately lied to by the government and the media about the events of that tragic day. The documentary leaves the speculation of why up to the viewer. This was clearly meticulously thought through and put together, and I think the creators should be proud to have made this. S/o Tim Dillon for the recommendation too.
