Remove this ad They're showing it tonight at 8 pm and again at 10 pm on TNT. Has anyone seen this? I missed it in theaters, but I heard it's good. "Offering a realistic, documentary-style re-creation of events rather than a fictionalized dramatization, British director Paul Greengrass has carefully avoided turning one of the most painful moments in recent U.S. history into a piece of Hollywood entertainment. But in so doing, the tragedy of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in a Pennsylvania field after passengers overpowered their hijackers on the morning of September 11, 2001, becomes one of the most harrowing, viscerally upsetting films ever made. Unfolding in near real time, the film begins with the boarding of United 93 on a picture-perfect morning, and the dawning realization at several air-traffic control centers that something is terribly wrong."

When it went dark you could've heard a pin drop. Everybody just shuffled out slowly and silently.
