Connections Series 1 part 1.
Spanning three decades, James Burke made three fabulous series about the serendipitous connections between cultural events and scientific innovation.

It opens in New York at the World Trade Center. Co-incidentally, it shows that the power blackout could have caused commercial airliner to crash into Manhattan had the pilot not averted disaster. The flight number of the plane was 911.
