On Tuesday 11th September 2001 the world – as we knew it – changed forever. The horrifying events that took place on that day in New York City and Washington D.C, claiming the lives of 2,977 people, will forever be remembered as a turning point in The United States (and the world’s) history. Though the main focus of historians and columnists focus on the build up to the attacks as well as the hijacking and crashing of the planes into the World Trade Centre and Pentagon on that day, there are a few other things that must be discussed in regards to the aftermath of those tragic events. In this episode we will take a look at 5 things you didn't know about 9/11 and hopefully uncover a few facts, figures and mysteries that require further investigation or explaining.
