I did not see the first half, just last nights. What I saw did and at times did not jive with what I recall on reading the 9/11 Commision Report. Specifically, the majority of the Air Traffic Control scenes did not match up with the 9/11 Report. The timing of the Air Force flights over the capital and NYC were all wrong, the fighters from "Detroit", all wrong when compared to the 9/11 report. They were definitely done for dramatic a`nd not historical effect. I have heard that the first part was even worse but I have not seen this yet.
What I also saw was that they took a few scenes almost verbatim from several real documentaries that were filmed live that day (like the one from the that firehouse with the 2 brothers filming).
Overall I was not impressed by what I did see. Though the story focusing on FBI Agent John O'Niel was intriguing and I would like to find out more on that. A previous documentary on Rick Rescorla who saved many lives in the first tower hit (and he was also a decorated veteran on Ia Drang in Vietnam and written of by Gen Hal Moore in "We were Soldiers Once, And Young") is also important - I think - for people to see.
