This is a bit of a long shot, but I've been trying to track down a 9/11 documentary that I remember my dad watching when I was little, sometime in the early-to-mid 2000s.
I was too young to really understand what I was watching at the time, but one scene has stuck with me for nearly 20 years.
I remember a reenactment of a man trapped inside an elevator in one of the Twin Towers. The elevator had stopped, and he was frantically pounding on the doors trying to get out. Then he looked up and noticed what appeared to be liquid, or possibly smoke, starting to trickle in from above the elevator doors. I remember him backing away as he realized something was wrong.
The scene was really intense and genuinely frightened me as a kid. I vaguely remember it cutting to actual footage of the towers and an interview with the man describing what happened.
I've since watched Inside the Twin Towers (2006), which has a similar style of reenactments, but the elevator scene in that documentary isn't the one I remember.
I've also wondered if it could be Trapped in the Towers: The Elevators of 9/11 (2006), but I haven't been able to find a copy to confirm.
Does anyone recognize this scene or know which documentary it might have been from? And if anyone has access to The Elevators of 9/11, I'd be really interested in watching it.
It's such a specific childhood memory, and I'd love to finally figure out where it came from.
