TV programs marking 9/11 anniversary

Sunday marks the fourth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on New York’s World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In addition to Discovery’s “The Flight That Fought Back,” several other new programs airing Sunday explore various aspects of the tragedy.

The History Channel (cable channel 37 in Spokane, 34 in Coeur d’Alene) offers “Osama’s Hideouts” at 7 p.m., tracking the movements of Osama bin Laden from Pakistan through other locations.

“The Man Who Predicted 9/11” follows on the History Channel at 8 p.m., spotlighting Morgan Stanley Dean Witter’s director of security, Rick Rescorla. He predicted the attack and led hundreds to safety out of the World Trade Center’s South Tower before he died in its collapse.

“Grounded on 9/11” at 9 p.m. on History Channel describes how the Federal Aviation Administration ordered all aircraft out of the skies after two commercial jetliners were deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center.

Several rebroadcasts also air Sunday:

“”The Anatomy of September 11th” at 1:30 p.m. on A&E (cable channel 52 in Spokane, 37 in Coeur d’Alene) offers a detailed account of the final 102 minutes before the World Trade Center’s collapse.

“”World Trade Center: Rise and Fall of an American Icon” at 4 p.m. on the History Channel explores the physical and symbolic stature of the twin towers.

“”Inside 9/11,” a two-part, four-hour documentary that looks at the terrorist attacks and the events leading to them, is rebroadcast at 10 a.m. on National Geographic Channel (cable channel 273 in Spokane, 120 in Coeur d’Alene).
