Reviews

matthijsalexander The minute I opened the road to 9/11 I was very worried, as the symbol said H. History Channel. This is the channel that comes with the worst documentaries ever. Much to my surprise, this was excellent.Straight forward witness interviews, straight forward timelines and no attempt whatsoever to change facts. Excellent job in connecting dots. Just informative and factual.For those who have followed 9/11 and are aware of the history from Oklahoma, Blind Sheikh and Ramzi, there isn't much surprise but surely the interviews give the documentary character.I think I am getting a whiff of bias toward Bill Clinton (Dems), as at some points the narrator blames lack of media attention due to scandals in the white house (and later on Shark attacks). I think this is highly unreasonable as the interviewees contradict this statement by simply admitting that their cries have been ignored by Washington suits, and that there were a dozen chances to eliminate Osama before 9/11. But, was he really the mastermind?
