545 | 9/11 25th Anniversary Special

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, America is safer from the kind of large, coordinated terrorist plot that struck New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.  But the threat did not disappear. It evolved. In this sometimes emotional, special report, I revisit the day that changed the country through the memories of former D.C. Fire and EMS spokesman Alan Etter and terrorism expert Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, Senior Director at the Counter Extremism Project. Their accounts connect the fear and helplessness of September 11, 2001, with the more fragmented, digital and difficult-to-detect terrorist threat facing the United States today. 9/11 at 25: The Threat That Changed examines what America fixed, what terrorists learned—and why the country can never afford to let its guard down. Twenty-five years after 9/11, America is better prepared—but the threat has changed.
