Practically Taliban propaganda. The only thing this documentary got right was the timeline.

An interesting watch, but not only does it fail to present anything new, it misses a lot of key information, and in some instances distorts the event.

As an example of this distortion, the documentary splices together air traffic control andAn interesting watch, but not only does it fail to present anything new, it misses a lot of key information, and in some instances distorts the event.

As an example of this distortion, the documentary splices together air traffic control and NORAD audio to try and make it sound like they knew American 77 was hijacked and heading for Washington, and they were scrambling fighters to go after it. This is a total fabrication. They used NORAD audio responding to information American 11 was still airborne and heading towards DC, cut off the part where they said "American 11" and tried to make it look like they were responding to American 77. Aside from that, there is almost nothing about the 4 pilot hijacker's activities in Germany or the US, very little mentioned about the 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, no mention of the Bojinka plot, glosses over a lot of information surrounding Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar.

This documentary says the CIA just didn't talk to FBI for reasons.. nonsense. There was not a lack of information sharing, the fact is the CIA kept this information from everyone, not just FBI. Even right up to the September 4 meeting, when the CIA heads are at the White House begging for action against al Qaeda, they still don't mention that 2 al Qaeda members, known to be involved for Kuala Lumpur planning session, had been in the US for over 16 months. This documentary fails to mention any of this. Overall, it's an interesting watch, but for the amount of praise this documentary is getting I was expecting a lot better. You would be better off watching "The 9/11 Hijackers: Inside the Hamburg Cell", "The Lost Tapes of 9/11", and "The Secrete History of 9/11"… Expand

This is an evenhanded look at the events leading up to, during and after 9/11. Those who say this is overly political have a strange axe to grind. Well researched, respectful, and pretty neutral as far as politics. This could be used to teachThis is an evenhanded look at the events leading up to, during and after 9/11.
