9/11 INSIDE THE PENTAGON reveals first-hand accounts of the attack that took place at the heart of the US’ military headquarters–an attack in which 184 people from inside the building and on board American Airlines flight 77 perished. 

The film revisits the events of 9/11 from the perspective of those who were in Washington, DC, working at or near the Pentagon. Using exclusive first-person interviews with Pentagon personnel, first responders, aviation experts and journalists, as well as rarely seen Department of Defense footage taken from inside the Pentagon after the attack, the special tells the story of heroism and perseverance in the face of unimaginable, life-threatening obstacles.

Unlike those in New York City who were completely taken by surprise, those in Washington, DC, followed the news coming out of New York and realized that unaccounted-for flights still in the air would likely target significant, symbolic and strategic sites in the nation’s capital—including the Pentagon.
