A 9/11 Story: 8. The Party
Summary
In this episode of *Intrigue*, retired FBI agent Danny Gonzalez returns to the 9/11 investigation to assist families’ lawyers in a lawsuit against Saudi Arabia. The team uncovers the full, previously withheld video of the “welcome party” at the hijackers’ San Diego apartment, which contradicts official reports that the attackers were isolated. Digital reconstruction of the footage reveals the two hijackers mingling with a support network, including a dentist, challenging the narrative that Omar al-Bayoumi was merely a chance acquaintance.
