How would they have handled 9/11?
Would they have not touched upon it, tried to save the Twin Towers/Pentagon?
What are your thought or opinions?
The Event was too serious to touch upon. Not many Shows even mentioned it.
shareThey would have had an episode with a VERY strong Patriotic Message and left it at that, It would have lacked taste if they went back in time to try and stop it.
Cheers.
the show wasn't on when 9/11 happened was it? i still remember what i said that still haunts me here i am a 12th grader and i run outside to talk to my friend at lunch and i stupidly say where are the "z fighters" when you need them. and to this day i feel like a complete A$$hole b/c of it this will eat away at me forever.
Ban 1 1/2 minute waits to post again that's just *beep* anoying like a gnat at a barbque

dude don't feel bad, i asked myself the same thing "Where is superman when you really need him."
what ever your fantasy, everybody wished it was real enough to save the day and make it better.
I think even considering the risk with back-stepping. I think there would of been a line around the block to try. share
We all felt helpless. I was on the bridge crossing the Potomac into DC when the plane hit the Pentagon. I had a few cases of water so I went and handed it out, and listened to people talk about it. It was all I could do.

There's no reason for Seven Days to have even tried to do an episode about 9/11. A backstep could only go back 7 days (hence the title of the show). Seven days after the attack, most attention was still focussed on securing the country and rescuing survivors at Ground Zero. The only knowledge we had within a week about the attacks that the Backstep program could have possibly used was when and from where the planes took off, what times the planes struck their targets, and what times the twin towers fell.
That's all the info Frank Parker would have needed. With that information they would have detained every passenger on those planes and found out who the real terrorists were.

You're probably right about them not doing an episode where they prevent 9/11. Most likely they would have written an episode where Parker tried to stop it but failed.

I've always thought that they could have done a show where Frank was ready to backstep and fix 911, but something went wrong with the Spear. By timne the problem was corected, it was too late to backstep, and 911 never got corrected. It would have been lame to have them fix 911.
shareActually it could have been really easy to handle 9/11. I believe that somewhere it was mentions that jumps can't overlap so all they would have had to do was have him jump that morning (9/11/01), right before the facility gets notified of the attacks. Then even if they tried to stop it later, he wouldn't have time to do anything about it.
shareDC did a special book on 911 and used the characters, really touching book, I think anyone that had a show like this just wouldnt be able to do anything without looking like a sensationlist ratings grabber or someone that looked like they didnt give a *beep* just do it cause they can.
