9/11 Kids looks at American life through the eyes of the children sitting with George Bush that morning
9/11 Kids (Documentary). President George W. Bush with the Grade 2 Class of Booker Elementary School on September 11, 2001. It’s one of the most memorable moments from 9/11: White House Chief of Staff Andy Card walks up to President George W. Bush and whispers in his ear: “A second plane has hit the second tower. America is under attack.” The place was Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida. Sitting in front of the President were sixteen school children, all 6-7 years old. What happened to those kids? Which ones went on to graduate college and get a good job? Who fell on hard times and why? We’ve tracked them down to find out what they remember, what’s happened since, and their dreams for the future. Courtesy of CBC Gem
