John O'Neill: The Man Who Came Close to Preventing Sept. 11th

Heartbreaking true drama of John O'Neill, who was Chief of Counterterrorism at the FBI. He was flamboyant, extremely sharp, hardworking, and determined. He was the first to have a glimpse of Al Qaeda's connection to terrorism and to suspect Al Qaeda's intentions in the United States. Unfortunately, because several higher-ups in the FBI did not like him, his own agency fought with and bad-mouthed him, hurting his investigations.

He came THIS close to finding and preventing the Sept. 11th attack. But he was ignored.

PBS's Frontline tells the whole frustrating story in The Man Who Knew. Gripping. Please watch it in streaming video!
