Uh oh. From the guy who created the Disney/ABC error-riddled tv show about 9/11:
Asked about the film's opening sequence, which has prompted a protest from Amercan Airlines because it wrongly put the onus on them for allowing Atta on board on Sept. 11, Nowrateh answered: "That whole sequence was vetted. Attorneys and advisors looked at it." He said he didn't know anything about American's threatened lawsuit.That wasn't really a denial about the scene's veracity. In fact, it seems to me that it implies there was nothing wrong with the scene because it was vetted by lawyers and advisors.
And there's more:
The intervieweer, citing obligation to truth and history -- and the fact that a large number of Americans, for example, still think Saddam was involved with 9/11 -- asked if he think he misled people. "No," he replied, "I think the hubbub is because we got to the truth.Oh, the truth. So American Airlines IS responsible for September 11? So American Airlines did flippantly let Mohammad Atta slip through its fingers negligently while a big warning flashed on the check-in computer screen? Is that what Disney/ABC's guy is now saying?
I'm sure American's lawyers will be thrilled to hear this.
