{ "item_title" : "The Day of 9/11", "item_author" : [" Jd Arden "], "item_description" : "At about 8:25 on the morning of 11 September 2001, someone in a cockpit pressed the wrong switch, and air traffic controllers heard what the passengers did not. What happened next, minute by minute, and what do we actually know? The Day of 9/11 goes back to the sources: the 9/11 Commission Report, the federal investigations of the World Trade Center towers and Building 7, the National Park Service's transcript of the cockpit recorder from Flight 93, and the official records of the Coast Guard, Transport Canada and the Environmental Protection Agency. It tells how the plot was planned, what the warnings said, what happened in the planes and the buildings, how the military and the aviation system responded, and what came after. What you will find inside:Four airports, nineteen men and a plot that took years to prepareThe summer of warnings, and the leads that were never joined upThe first calls from the planes, and the stairs of the North TowerThe announcements in the South Tower, the largest rescue in the city's history, and the order to get outWhy the towers fell, in the words of the engineers who studied themThe Pentagon, and the response that did not need to learn each other's namesUnited 93: the calls, the assault on the cockpit door and what the passengers stoppedAn improvised defence: what the military was told, when, and the account that was wrongOperation Yellow Ribbon, Gander and the empty skyThe boatlift, the pile, the air and the backlashWhat the investigations found, including the plain answers to the claims about Building 7Laws, wars, trials and the long illness that followedThe book names its sources, gives the figures from each when they disagree, and keeps the evidence apart from rumour. The people who died are treated factually and with respect, and no group of people is blamed for what a small organisation did. A closing chapter, What We Don't Know, lists the open questions, and Sources and Further Reading says which sources were opened and which were not. Written for readers who want the real story told in a plain voice. No specialist knowledge required.
