3SE Summary of the first ten minutes of the film “World Trade Center”

Last time we watched the beginning of the film, World Trade Center by Oliver Stone.(O. Stone is an American film -maker) The World Trade Center was the name of the two twin towers there were in Manhattan before the attacks of September 11^th 2001. We saw a policeman getting up early to go to work and many people going to work using different means of transport: the subway (US) (tube GB), their car, the bus, the ferry (to go from Staten Island to Manhattan), the taxi.....

We saw some famous places in Manhattan: first the skyline of Manhattan with the WTC, the statue of Liberty, the Empire State building.

At the beginning of the film the atmosphere is quiet. Almost everyone is sleeping and gradually it is getting noisier and noisier especially after the crash. We could hear the sirens of the police cars, ambulances and firemen lorries.
