Sunday, February 24, 2002 TV Highlights Daily TV highlights for the week beginning Monday By Terry Morrow It was Sept. 11, and French filmmaker Jules Naudet was in lower Manhattan shooting a documentary on local firefighters when he heard a roar from the sky. He turned his camera upward and captured what is believed to be the only video of the first plane striking the World Trade Center. With his camera still rolling, he followed his firefighters to Ground Zero with his brother, fellow documentary maker Gedeon Naudet. For hours, they shot unprecedented footage of the tragedy, including 45 minutes from inside the North Tower. Their cameras witnessed rescue work and escape attempts minutes before the tower fell. "9/11," their resulting documentary, will air commercial free at 9 p.m. Sunday, March 10 on CBS. Robert De Niro will host the two-hour special. March 11 marks six months since the attacks happened. In another Sept. 11-related special, "New York Firefighters: The Brotherhood of September 11" is an intimate portrait of how one firehouse is dealing with the loss of eight of its men. Stockard Channing narrates the special (9 p.m., Friday, March 8, Discovery Channel). Notable shows of the week: MONDAY "World's Best Beaches 2002" (9 p.m., Travel Channel).
