Modern history can be divided into two time frames: before 9/11 and after 9/11.
This five-part docuseries from director Brian Knappenberger is a cohesive chronicle of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S., offering illuminating perspectives and personal stories of how the catastrophic events of that day changed the course of the nation.
From the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 to the country’s breathtaking collapse back into the hands of the Taliban just weeks before the twentieth anniversary of the attacks, history continues to be made.
The September 11, 2001 attacks changed the world in ways that have taken decades to understand. Twenty years later, following the longest war in American history and Afghanistan once again in Taliban control, TURNING POINT: 9/11 AND THE WAR ON TERROR answers the questions: Who attacked the U.S. and why?

So far, it's a decent compilation of all the facts leading up to 9/11... and a recounting of the events of that day. But, typical Netflix style, they can't help but try to canonize the TRAITOR, Dem. Barbara Lee, who actually voted AGAINST the Authorization of Force that Congress... (ALL but ONE).. granted to W. Not sure how this series will end. But, I'm guessing, it's Anti-US. Good re-counting of events... but, very mis-leading in presentation. But folks, THIS is the story American of today will see, and believe.
9/11 happened on a Tuesday morning. Like most, I will NEVER forget. I was at work, in an inside office at my new company, as of May of that year. My first inkling that ANYTHING was wrong was when, I tried to log on to Free Republic, as I always did, to see the news of the day. The page would not load. Eventually, it started to... and, all I saw was: Plane hits WTC in NYC. I could barely see more. The internet was slowed to a crawl.
I went to my Admin’s desk and we turned on the radio. We heard news reports. I immediately went back to my desk and call my wife. She was watching TV reports. That’s when the 2nd plane hit the WTC. Instantly, my wife and I BOTH KNEW what was happening and we began a prayer, together, for our country.
In the hours to follow, we followed events.. hearing about the towers falling. I spent a few hours contacting our sales people scattered across the US, trying to get back to Louisville. It wasn’t easy. Many had to drive from long distances.
By noon, I decided to leave the office to head home to my wife. I’ll never forget: As I was stopped at a red light, I saw a poor black man standing on the corner. He looked me in the eye, and I him... and, we each gave a short nod to the other. For one moment in time, we each were united in understanding that, we MUST stand together. It was America United. Sadly, it didn’t last.
Half way through Episode 3 now, and of course.. Netflix is attacking Cheney, and Bush... this isn’t going to end well. They’r leading up to Abu Graib, I’m sure.
It ends with Biden about to successfully hand Afghanistan back to the Afghan government and it’s military.
Oopsie.
KITE PLANE MUST HIT STEEL!
Ever since Netflix peddled soft pedophile porn our household will never subscribe to them again.
I could not stand to watch fictionalized movies like United 93 or WTC. I can’t stand to think day to watch any nonfiction accounts. About the best I did was the Nova episode, which just said the same thing I knew from the day itself.
It was islam, vs steel. And islam won. 9/11 was the biggest PR Coup of all time.
I figured I’d save myself a lot of angst by not watching.
The Left just cannot present something without massive
propaganda > IMO.
The CEO of Netflix gave 3 million dollars to help newsom(sp?)against Larry Elder!
But when they peddle some soft kiddie porn, yeah I will boycott. We are done with them.
A bunch of clowns got lucky. They stole OUR PLANES. AND ONLY THE PA FLIGHT KNEW TO GROUND IT
PEARL HARBOR. IT WAS NOT. NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY CLOSE
I have zero interest in Netflix take on the history of America vs. Jihad.
America’s #1 Jihads, Barry and his brood-sow, Big Mike, speak through Netflix, are worshipped by Netflix.
No thanx.
These evil Netflix producers didn't even bother to mention the names of the brave heroes on Flight 93. No Todd Beame, no "Let's roll". They did show the photo and name of a black female flight attendant and play audio of a call she made.
This is probably the end of my Netflix experience. I've had an account since forever. Probably would have cancelled years ago, but my two sons watch on our account. But, they're grown now. They can get their own.
Still 2 more episodes left. Not sure I can finish it. The last part I saw was a long criticism of our harsh treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo. What breaks my heart is, this tripe is ALL the younger generation will ever know about 9/11.
I’ll bet they didn’t mention the top leaders of the Taliban
have ex-GITMO prisoners in the mix, I believe I read five of
them are.
I knew stuff like that would pop up.
As I understand it, we got some pretty decent intel out of
those prisoners. How could that happen, if they were
totally innocent.
It really isn’t much of a leap to call the Left in the
US the American Taliban party.
I heard that its chock full of wackjob guy named La Porta and Susan Rice was a producer on it before she left Netflix.
Yes, you had to live thru it to recall the amazing change in attitudes and positive treatment of others etc. Sadly, it didn't last.
The RATS never change their colors . You can bet the overwhelming majority of cops, firemen, and those that died from working on the pile were conservative Republicans. RATS are the problem.
Do they cover where the FBI had credible reports of Saudis wanting to learn to fly but uninterested in landing?
They knew of all the hijackers ... spit.
I was getting our son ready for kindergarten when the first plane hit. When the second tower was hit I knew: “We’re under attack” as I’m sure everybody realized at that moment.
In the same day FR had identified Osama Bin Laden as the likely culprit.
Thanks JimRob. At least if we know who’s trying to destroy America we have a chance to stop them. God bless Free Republic. ;-)
In NYC, pretty much everyone is a Democrat… even the emergency response people.
