Grounded on 9/11

GROUNDED is the harrowing story of four of the most critical hours in aviation history.

On a typical day, about 20 aircrafts are rerouted to new destinations per hour… On 9/11/01 Air Traffic Controllers had to deftly reroute more than 1100 flights in the first moments after the World Trade Center was hit…more than one every second—all without further death or injury to hundreds of thousands of passengers and crew at risk that day. Now, the question on every controller’s mind is, ‘How many more hijacked aircraft are up there?’

GROUNDED on 9/11 is a landmark documentary about the amazing people who have become overlooked-that watch over our safety in the skies every day – and a closer look into one very important day… September 11, 2001 began with nearly 65,000 planes in the air carrying close to 1,000,000 people and ended with quiet empty skies over a stunned continent.
