CGI graphics and eyewitness interviews unravel the split-second events of September 11th in visual detail, explaining the answers to the questions that haunt the American public. If it didn't fall from the first terrorist attack in 1993 and it didn't fall when the planes hit, then why did both buildings eventually crash to the ground?
