I haven't seen it yet, and will likely wait till it comes out on DVD - but I somewhat feel the same as what you expressed. Disconnected is a good way of describing it, even though my wife got me out of bed that awful morning in time to see the second plane hit the tower.
From what I hear of the movie, it sounds like it does a good job of portraying the heroics of the passengers that day - and in that respect I think its a good thing to remind people that despite all the tragedy...at least some genuine heroism emerged to demonstrate how the ordinary, average person can face such an awful scenario with bravery and courage.
Someone on the news the other night made the comment, "If you feel compelled to see the movie - go see it. If not...don't." While I can understand the sentiments of people who aren't inclined to reopen relatively fresh wounds in their memory...perhaps too many are judging a book by its cover here.
