Or how about the depiction in graphic novels? I remember the graphic novels that came out from DC and Marvel shortly after the event, and they are (I think) still in print. They didn't focus so much on the event, but rather how the comic book artists reacted. (One cover showed Superman standing watching a giant tv screen showing the police and fire/rescue personnel and thinking "Wow! Those are REAL heroes".)
