Why a Booktrail?
2011: What if the Sept. 11 attacks had failed, and Americans remained ignorant of the hijackers’ ultimate goals?
2011: What if the Sept. 11 attacks had failed, and Americans remained ignorant of the hijackers’ ultimate goals?
In this alternate history, several hijackers and their leaders survive and escape a botched Sept. 11 plot and plan a second attempt on the towers. Only one man in the government and an aggressive journalist suspect what might be afoot, but how can they convince a skeptical nation that the World Trade Center is in danger?
Imagine if the flights that struck the World Trade Center had collided mid air instead of hitting the towers.
The Pentagon attack is called off
Would the other terrorists have called the whole thing off, regroup and try again?
What would the situation be like in the world now? What would it be like boarding a plane? Would the war on terror have started? Would we be living in fear?
Of course the attacks did take place and the booktrail features the key locations in the real landscape. Of course the landscape would have remained unchanged and the towers would still stand if the worst had not happened.
