Currently watching and recording this...if you have a chance, it will open your eyes and give you MUCH food for thought, and plenty of "if I were there what would I do" scenarios. I feel for everyone involved, from the victims, to the responders, to the guy wielding the camera while wearing a gas mask. Catch it if you can.

Hover over "schedule" to see the upcoming showtimes.

It is showing right now on HBO WEST (which I don't have ). Next Eastern U.S. showing is Thursday, September 25th at 3:50pm and 11pm.

It is also on BBC 2 at 9pm tonight.

Watched this tonight. A broad contradiction of words to describe it. Brutal, fascinating, anger, sympathy, incompetence, bravery and more.

Should be required watching for anyone who has any interest in urban preparedness no matter what country they live in.

For those though who may not be able to watch the documentary due to scheduling or lack of HBO channel access, the NY Times has a good summation of it. Also on Youtube, there are many clips of the documentary.
