he got his info from the writer of house of bush house of saud. One in the movie he NEVER says that they got out before airspace opened. But that as SOON AS IT WAS REOPENED THE FIRST FLIGHTS WERE SAUDI NATIONALS AND BIN LADEN family members. They were the first flights to be allowed. Also I recall that I read that at least one plane left the country a few hours BEFORE airspace was officially opened. Or something like that.
Peace

One thing I would have liked to have seen in that movie was exactly what you just did. He rapid-fired information without telling you where, when, and how he got the information. In any documentary, especially one of this nature, I'd like to know exactly what's going on, and I don't think I'm alone when I say that. He didn't list any sources, so it was hard to see where he was going, where he was coming from, and whether or not he could be trusted. Maybe he listed them at the end of the movie and I didn't catch it as I was walking out or something.

At the risk of being unjustly labeled as an anti-Semite, I'm going to say that I wish he would have mentioned Israel and/or US foreign policy regarding Israel at least once in the course of the movie. I know the film wasn't so much about why 9/11 happened as it was about the aftermath, however, I think he should have given that aspect of the story at least a little screen-time. The perpetrators of the attacks don't hate us because "terrorists are jealous of our freedom" as Bush so ( ... )
