Did anyone watch "Grounded" on the history chanel tonight?

There were 2 shows back to back. The first was "The man who predicted 911" and the second was "Grounded". Both are being replayed now on PBS.

I watched both. The first one was good, but it really was a tribute to one very brave security guy who worked for Dean Whitter. The second show told me a lot of things I had never heard before! ie: The poor communication ability between the air traffic controllers and incoming international flights that were still too far out to receive radio messages. They sent info to them via a 3rd part and the info somethings took 15 minutes to get to the pilots! Or the Korean flight they though had sent a message that it had been hijacked, so they diverted it to some small airport in Canada. Later they found the message they received was the pilot confirming he had received the info on the US planes hitting the towers.

There was a lot of info in that show I had never heard before, which surprised me because I though I followed all the public info very closely!
