COUNTDOWN TO GROUND ZERO is a gripping look at the extraordinary events of September 11th, 2001--not just the infamous attacks, but how this day came to be.

Through the dramatic stories of people whose lives converged at a moment when history turns, this incisive special recounts the story of Al Qaeda's agents as they planned and executed the most deadly strike on the US since Pearl Harbor. It's also the story of the men and women who were attacked in the World Trade Center, and of the heroic rescuers who risked everything to save those trapped inside the doomed Twin Towers. And finally, we’ll look at the FBI agents and counterterrorism experts in the months leading up to the attack, professionals who desperately tried to convince key players in both the Clinton and Bush administrations of the dangers of Al Qaeda and the possibility of a deadly attack on U.S. soil.
