New 9/11 oral history recalls the sensations of tragedy

Season 2019 Episode 287 | 8m 43s

But details of what the victims, survivors and emergency responders endured have faded from national consciousness over time. Now, a powerful oral history from Garrett Graff, “The Only Plane in the Sky,” offers a lasting reminder of that pivotal moment in American history.
