VIDEO PREVIEW: Encore presentation of ‘Footnotes of 9/11’ airs Saturday, Sept. 8 at 8pmET

CNN investigative correspondent Drew Griffin reports on the people who went to work on 9/11 – and unexpectedly became part of history.  Each of the eight people profiled by investigative correspondent Drew Griffin for this documentary is mentioned in The 9/11 Commission Report – their unique experiences are drawn from the 1,742 footnotes of that report and offer critical detail to the tragic events of that day – they are literal and figurative footnotes to one of America’s darkest days.  They include ticket agents who checked in some of the terrorists, a maintenance technician who answered a call from one of the planes under attack, and the Lt. Col. in the Massachusetts Air National Guard – also a United Airlines pilot – who scrambled to provide defense to New York, and faced possibly having to shoot down a passenger plane.

CNN Presents: Footnotes of 9/11 airs Saturday, Sept. 8 at 8:00pm and 11:00pm ET & PT on CNN/U.S.
