In 1956, No. 433 "Porcupine" RCAF Squadron flies the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck all-weather interceptor aircraft. The squadron is based at CFB North Bay, Ontario, and is responsible for an area that includes the immediate region and the Arctic. On a deployment to CFB Cold Lake, Alberta, where training for RCAF operational units takes place, experienced flight crews and newcomers in the squadron learn how to be more effective as a team. The work of the ground control and radar units that support the squadron are highlighted in a combat readiness exercise.
In 1954, the RCAF issues specifications for a new maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft. In order to comply with the RCAF's requirements, the Canadair aircraft company in Montreal, begins a re-design of the Bristol Britannia airliner. A prototype of the giant aircraft begins to take shape alongside the other aircraft in production at the Canadair factory. As each individual component is designed and tested, the aircraft given the company designation, CL-28, proves to be a complex technological challenge. Many of the specialized parts are sent to sub-contractors who have to meet stringent timelines and quality standards. As problems arise, computer analysis is available to provide solutions.
Recalling the stories of his late grandfather, a young man deliberates over the sale of a homebuilt replica of a S.E.5 fighter aircraft they had built together. His grandfather's voice comes back to him, relating his experiences, beginning with his enlistment in 1914 as a soldier in Canada. After a time in the trenches on the Western Front as an officer in the infantry, he applies to become an aviator and is assigned to a balloon corps as an air observer.
In the Yukon, American trapper (Del Henney) attempts to live in peace but is aware that other trappers resent his presence. When he is confronted by rival trappers, they bring along Millen (George R. Robertson), the local RCMP officer. Feeling intimidated, the trapper fights back, shooting his way out of his cabin, killing Millen and embarking on a desperate attempt to escape the authorities. The hazardous trek through the Arctic in the middle of winter becomes an epic manhunt, led by "Sarge" (Richard Alden). The RCMP eventually employ dog teams, radio and aircraft to bring down their prey.
Un travail minutieux de récolte d'images a permis de reconstituer, minute par minute, ce qu'ont vécu les New-Yorkais lors du 11 septembre 2001, entre l'impact du premier avion et l'effondrement de la seconde tour. De leurs appartements, de Times Square aux quais du New Jersey, les New-Yorkais commentent, observent, et surtout filment la catastrophe. Si certains restent incrédules, d'autres sont pris de panique. Les rumeurs circulent, les transports s'arrêtent et les lignes téléphoniques sont mises hors service. L'île de Manhattan se retrouve coupée du monde. Ses habitants cherchent à fuir en marchant le long des routes et prennent d'assaut les ferries.
Cinq personnes sont bloquées dans un ascenseur de la tour nord du World Trade Center au matin du 11 septembre 2001, et tentent de s'échapper avant l'effondrement du bâtiment.
11-Septembre - Dans les tours jumelles (titre original en anglais: 9/11: The Twin Towers) est un documentaire télévisé britannique de Richard Dale sur les attentats du 11 septembre 2001. Il est produit par la société de production Dangerous Films. Il a été diffusé pour la première fois le 3 septembre 2006 sur la chaîne de télévision américaine Discovery Channel, puis le 7 septembre sur la chaîne britannique publique BBC One.
Le documentaire décrit le déroulement chronologique du drame à travers le destin de plusieurs des protagonistes. Il se présente en partie sous la forme d'un docufiction : les événements, remis en scène et joués par des acteurs, alternent avec les témoignages des survivants de l'attentat. Se mêlent à la fois images d'archives, événements reconstitués et entretiens.
Le film a été plusieurs reprises sélectionné et récompensé. Il a notamment remporté d'un British Academy Television Award, et a été sélectionné aux Emmy Awards en 2007.
Dans un village au Moyen-Orient, la population se prépare à des représailles américaines en préparant des abris de terre cuite. Personne n'appréhende vraiment ce qui s'est passé à New York, mais ils savent que, même s'ils n'ont rien à voir avec cela, ils vont en subir les conséquences. Le film dénonce la manière dont des villages innocents dont la réalité n'a rien à voir avec les attentats du 11 septembre subissent finalement le même sort que les tours, sans vraiment comprendre.
The film opens with the hijacker leaving a plane by its aft airway on a clear day, parachuting into a forest in Washington. The man is later identified as Jim Meade (Treat Williams), an ex-Army man with big dreams. Meade escapes the manhunt using a jeep he had previously hidden in the forest and concealing the money in the carcass of a deer. He eventually meets up with his estranged wife Hannah (Kathryn Harrold), who operates a river rafting company. Meanwhile, Meade is being hunted by Bob Gruen (Robert Duvall), an insurance investigator who was Meade's sergeant in the Army, and Meade's Army buddy Remson (Paul Gleason), who listened when Meade had talked about hijacking a plane.
In 2009, American geologist Adrian Helmsley visits astrophysicist Satnam Tsurutani in India and learns that neutrinos from a massive solar flare are causing the temperature of the Earth's core to rapidly increase. Arriving at a party in Washington, D.C, Helmsley presents his information to White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser, who takes him to meet the President.
The film opens in with a title sequence showing a radar screen with air traffic controllers talking in the background. American Airlines Flight 117 appears on the radar screen, and the air traffic controllers instruct the aircraft to make an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport. The flight responds by saying that it is unable to maintain altitude, and begins an emergency descent. Meanwhile, a man is driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee down a mysteriously empty stretch of I-405 as it is shut down due to an investigation. Soon, AA Flight 117 appears on-screen, revealing Flight 117 to be an American Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-10. Soon, the DC-10 makes an emergency landing onto I-405. During touchdown, the plane's nose gear collapses, and the fuselage is dropped onto the Jeep's roof and pushing the Jeep to a much higher speed until both vehicles finally stop. In the process of slowing down, the plane and the man's car narrowly miss an elderly woman driving slowly in her car, though she is oblivious to this fact and extends the middle finger as she cruises past. The film ends with police cars, ambulances, fire engines and other emergency vehicles along with hovering news and police helicopters surrounding the scene.
