Poor Communication Kills | |
| World Trade Center / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Just like the actual incident, a lot of the problems stem from people not believing what has happened. As well, communications were either down or very spotty, leading to the officers getting trapped in the collapsing tower. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| World Trade Center / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: First, a plane hits the World Trade Center. Then a second one. Then the towers collapse. Then two port cops get trapped in the rubble of the World Trade Center, stuck beneath it. Then John's knees get crushed. Then another cop's gun starts going off. Then they get burned by jet fuel. Once John and Will are rescued from the rubble, it's only then that they learn that the towers are gone. | |

| World Trade Center / int_82a631b8 | comment |
Present-Day Past: Since the film is set during the events of 9/11, there are a few post-2001 cars that appear such as a few Saturn Ions, Chevrolet Trailblazer and a 2004 Dodge Durango in one scene. | |

Oh, Crap!: When the rumbling of Tower 2's collapse occurs, everyone starts panicking, but it isn't until they can see flaming debris dropping outside does McLoughlin order everyone to the elevator shaft. | |

| World Trade Center / int_c696f3ba | comment |
Heroic Willpower: It's only through this that John and Will survive. John credits his wife with giving him the will to go on in spite of being trapped, saying "You kept me alive" once he makes it to the hospital. | |

Spiritual Antithesis | |
| World Trade Center / int_ce2969d8 | comment |
Spiritual Antithesis: To JFK. Both are Oliver Stone films about real-life tragedies that have since become fodder for conspiracy theories, and as a result, many critics feared that this film would become a platform for Stone to promote crackpot ideas about who was really behind 9/11. Instead of a Conspiracy Thriller, however, World Trade Center was a Based on a True Story Disaster Movie that stuck to the facts of what had happened that day. | |

Honor Thy Parent | |
| World Trade Center / int_e979656a | comment |
Honor Thy Parent: When McLoughlin's wife Donna is informed that he is trapped somewhere within the site of WTC terrorist attacks, she is about to leave for somewhere closer to the scene. Donna tells her roughly 12-year-old son to stay put. He reacts with a resolute "No!" and demands to go with her. Donna is taken aback by his defiance, and attempts to make her son comply; however, he won't back down and angrily protests. Finally, Donna reluctantly agrees to take him with her, but you can see that she is still angry at having been so blatantly contradicted by her son. This example shows how shocking an instance of outright defiance by a child can still seem even today to a 21st-century parent (and in this case, the son is just acting under duress due to his father being missing in action). | |
