*MAY CONTAIN DISTURBING FOOTAGE*

September 11, 2001.

It was a day I will never forget. I was in Basic Training at Lackland AFB on my final week when tragedy struck. I decided years later that I would remember those lost the best way I knew how, with a film in Flight Simulator X.

The film also features a United Airlines aircraft to commemorate the brave souls who fought for their lives in the air on United Airlines flight 93.

As you watch this film, think of the innocent victims on the aircraft, the towers and those inside the Pentagon.

God embrace you,
-Valkyrie

Thanks for watching. I hope I didn't bastardize the film. I attempted to make it as tactful as possible while not going into all the political stuff. This isn't a glamorization. This is just a film about the events and remembering them. I hope people think that when watching it, but considering the content you just never know.

At any rate, I had to make it for myself if nobody else. Ever since the events of 9/11 I have been carrying a burden on my shoulders as it effected me very deeply since I was a military member just prior to the events happening. It was a very hard video for me to make emotionally but I feel much better, like something lifted from my shoulders, now that it is done.

I don't expect everyone to get it, but I hope everyone remembers,
-Valkyrie

I loved it. It was in no way offensive, quite tasteful actually and all the shots were very well done, especially the blue light monument at the end.

Beautiful!   :lol: :wub: :lol: :angry:

A very nice composite there. But I don't think the melodi fits the video 100%. Beautifully made anyway, may the victims of 11 September rest in peace.

8/10 :lol:

Great little film. I would have just made it a 757 not a 747.

Very nicely done and commemorative video. Like said before if would have been better if you had used the correct plane model, but it's a touching and wonderful video nonetheless, great work :lol:

May the victims of 9/11 rest in peace, and may the victims of the wars started as a result of 9/11 also rest in peace.

I thought about using a "correct" plane 757 model, but the aircraft itself was not to physically represent the aircraft... I chose a 747 on purpose, and if you look at the livery it is the NEW United Airlines livery. The United 747 flies over the monument at the end, destination unknown. It represents us moving forward from the ashes of the sad event.

Would that have made it a better video? I say no.

Depends on how you look at it i guess in a historical point of view i guess just to show what happened.
