The Path to 9/11
The Path to 9/11. A television mini-series on the events leading up to the US terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Plot:
September 11, 2001. Teams of terrorist hijackers board four American airliners and take control of the cockpits. Passengers and flight controllers quickly learn something is terribly wrong….
February 1993. On a similarly ordinary day, New York is stunned by a deadly bombing at the World Trade Center. The discovery of a traceable van part at the site leads to the arrest of one of the conspirators, and he is linked to a mosque led by the Blind Sheikh, a radical cleric. A valuable FBI informant helps bring down the cleric and his cell. A manhunt for elusive WTC bomber Ramzi Yousef ensues, and he narrowly escapes capture in Pakistan, where he is linked to the attempted assassination of Benazir Bhutto. Yousef travels to the Philippines, where he tests an innovative small bomb that kills a flight passenger and comes close to bringing down the plane as well…
In 2001, counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke’s warnings about bin Laden are downplayed, as is an FBI agent’s warning to his superiors that some suspicious individuals are learning to fly jet aircraft. O’Neill butts heads with the CIA over their lack of shared information, and while intelligence agencies squabble, al Qaeda terrorists, under the radar, continue with their hijacking plot. Via ABC
The Path to 9/11 is in great risk not to be shown. Many critics are opposing and that the mini series should not be shown if not edited.
“They started off this as being a documentary,” “They changed it to a docudrama and now it’s a work of fiction and that’s what it is. And, yes, they should pull it.” Democratic Sen. Harry Reid
The content of this drama is factually and incontrovertibly inaccurate and ABC has a duty to fully correct all errors or pull the drama entirely. It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known - wrote by Douglas Band & Bruce Lindsey
Bruce Lindsey was the head of the Clinton Foundation and Douglas Band was Clinton adviser.
