About September 11, 2001
On the tragic day, out of four planes hijacked by terrorists, two crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, another into the Pentagon in Washington and the remaining fourth into a field near Pennsylvania. The coordinated attacks, carried out by al-Qaeda militants based in Afghanistan, resulted in the death of over 3000 people, including passengers, crew members of hijacked planes, people in the targeted buildings, police officers, firefighters and others.
Right after the horrific attacks, a global manhunt was launched to look for Al-Qaeda head Osama, based in Afghanistan. The series explores the ten-year search for bin Laden through interviews with key US government officials who were involved in the operation. The series delves into the extensive efforts made by various agencies to track the terrorists down.
