Can anyone tape this?

[paulthompson]

There are some interesting documentaries coming up and I'm wondering if anyone is taping them. I'm travelling right now so I can't, but I'd like to mine them later for 9/11 info. For instance, the two new CBC documentaries. This one also looks very interesting, on tonight:

"America Remembers: 9/11 Controllers" (8 p.m. Saturday on NBC, Channel 4): This NBC News special features exclusive interviews with 20 air-traffic controllers from around the country who handled the hijacked planes on Sept. 11, 2001.

I think that's a rerun from the first anniversary so it would be interesting to see how the stories jibe with the current official account.

1. What is CBC?

I'd be happy to tape them for you. I just need to figure out how to get them out of my digital cable box and onto tape to send them to you. Hmm.

2. I think it's Canadian broadcasting

3. Paul,

I just tried to tape "America Remembers: 9/11 Controllers" but I can't find it. I guess it isn't being shown here (Ithaca, NY). Sorry. I did find a show called "9/11: A Day in Time" on a New York channel. There was no info on it, so I don't know what it will be about. I'll tape that.

4. i can tape stuff

Paul, I just saw this, so I can't do anything Saturday night, but the CBC site says these are on Sunday night:

7:00 p.m. The Secret History of 9/11
The dramatic minute-by-minute account of the biggest terrorist crime in history, from the terrorists' secret meetings to the White House crisis room. An extraordinary inside account of intrigue, desperate pursuit and chaos in the highest reaches of power.

9:00 p.m. 9/11 Toxic Legacy
9/11: Toxic Legacy examines the environmental fallout of September 11, the resulting health dangers, and what this means for people working and living in downtown New York. What are the implications for the next disaster? Will we be prepared?

I'll set the VCR before I leave for work tomorrow!

8. CBC documentaries usually end up on bittorrent sites.

Will keep an eye peeled for them...also, they'll probably end up on Google Video or Youtube, as well.

10. Transcript

You can find a transcript for the Secret History here:
http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/secrethistory/index.html
Click on the transcript link at the bottom.

Sample:

Air traffic controllers realized immediately that United 93 had been hijacked but again, incredibly, no one advised the military. United 93 turned and aimed at Washington. Clarke remembers the panic, "One of the aircraft that looked like it was hijacked appeared to be heading on line toward Washington. And so we were being, the meeting was being interrupted every few minutes with word of where that aircraft was and how far out it was and it really did look at one point as though an aircraft was coming straight to the city."

I wonder which plane he's talking about. If memory serves, there's nothing like that in his book. Wait a minute:

Garvey read from a list: "All aircraft have been ordered to land at the nearest field. Here's what we have as potential hijacks: Delta 1989 over West Virginia, United 93 over Pennsylvania..."
Stafford slipped me a note. "Radar shows aircraft headed this way." Secret Service had a system that allowed them to see what FAA's radar was seeing."
AAE, p. 7

This is supposed to be taking place at around 9:33.

What happened to the recordings of the videoconference? If Garvey really said that then, Rummy and/or Myers haven't got a leg to stand on.

I must have read that bit a dozen times, but I never noticed the significance before.

Also:

Apparently, there was only one person at FAA headquarters who was authorized to call in the military. Ben Sliney was told that no one could find that person, "I said something like that's incredible. There's only one person. There must be someone designated or someone who will assume the responsibility of issuing an order, you know. We were becoming frustrated in our attempts to get some information. What was the military response?"

That's complete crap, lots of people from the FAA talked to the military that day.
