comment
Tempting Fate: During the beginning breakfast scene in The Pentagon, one of the Republican Senators wonder what threats the United States faces in the 21st century. Another one replies that threats come in the form of North Koreans with Nodongs, Persians with Pistols, Saddam Hussein, and cruise missiles. Terrorism was not mentioned despite the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the Khobar Tower attacks, the 1998 Embassy bombings, and the USS Cole bombing.

We ARE Struggling Together: During a teleconference with George Tenet, director of the CIA, and Robert Mueller, director of the FBI from the bunker below Offutt AB, Bush is displeased to hear that the CIA and the FBI do not have information on who the culprits might be due to interagency rivalry between the two.

comment
The Apocalypse Brings Out the Best in People: While the attacks weren't apocalyptic per se, it did unite Americans from all walks of life regardless of race, beliefs, and political views. This is evident when a sibling of a fireman killed on that day gives Bush his brother's badge, even stating while he didn't vote for Bush, he stands by with the President in his efforts to boost morale to a wounded nation.

Rousing Speech: Bush gives three of them. "A great people has been moved to defend a great nation". Bush's speech from the Oval Office addressing the American people and the world that terrorism will fail. "I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you!". Bush appears in Ground Zero to boost the morale of the rescue workers and those who lost loved ones in the World Trade Center. Bush's address to Congress on September 20, 2001.

 DC 9/11: Time of Crisis / int_ad1db87c
comment
Oh, Crap!: Happens several times Bush can be seen appalled when a Secret Service agent informs him America is under attack. Dick Cheney and the rest of the White House once they realize a plane is inbound for Washington...just as it disappears on the screen. Bush's staff once they realize that Air Force One may have been compromised due to a mysterious aircraft approaching their position, though it later diverts. Around 11:50 PM, Bush and the first lady are awoken and evacuated to the bunker as another aircraft was believed to be approaching the White House. It later turns out to be a false alarm though reasonably the Secret Service weren't taking their chances.
