FOOTNOTES OF 9/11 features interviews with people who went to work on September 11th, 2001 - 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 - 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.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta Reports: Terror In The Dust examines how responders who breathed in the toxic dust and noxious fumes at New York City's Ground Zero are coping with the health effects of the attacks. The environmental hazards at the World Trade Center disaster site - mercury from fluorescent light bulbs, dioxin and benzene emitted as the jets burned, asbestos from the building materials, and more - have caused severe respiratory ailments, immune problems and, some suspect, a greatly increased cancer risk.
Among those who speak to Dr. Gupta are two brothers - firefighters who searched for survivors in the pile of the collapsed towers - one whose lungs are now failing and the other who appears to have had no permanent physical effects. Ten years after the attacks chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta speaks to first responders who continue to experience emotional trauma. Dr. Gupta's investigation includes never before broadcast footage of the collapse of the Twin Towers, the medical consequences of the killer dust, and safety recommendations for future crisis responses.

BEYOND BRAVERY: THE WOMEN OF 9/11 profiles the sometimes overlooked female rescue workers who raced to the Twin Towers in the wake of the attack. Anchor and special correspondent Soledad O'Brien looks at the work of these rescue workers over the decade following their life-altering experiences.
Among the stories of these heroic women of New York's Ground Zero is an African-American firefighter whose company lost seven of the 342 firefighters who died that day. She is pushing to recruit more women to this dangerous job, even as the number of female firefighters has dropped to less than one percent of the NYFD. O'Brien also speaks with the family of a decorated police officer and mother who was photographed rescuing survivors just moments before the collapse of the towers. O'Brien reports the present-day health and emotional struggles of these unsung heroines and hears about their determination to be prepared for the next attack - and to restore hope.
