Twenty-two years after the horrific event, UNANSWERED QUESTIONS tells the story of how the persistence of the 9/11 families persuaded the United States Government to further investigate the attacks of September 11th. UNANSWERED QUESTIONS is centered around a dozen selected questions posed by relatives to the ‘9/11 Commission’ that were either answered, evaded or remain unanswered by the 9/11 Commission.

All the family members quoted in the book were interviewed by Ray McGinnis, distinguished author and educator. He has taught at conferences, colleges, retreat settings, churches, synagogues, grief and loss support groups, hospitals and provided professional consultation for first responders and lawyers. McGinnis crafts a compelling narrative around the bereaved family members as they question the accuracy of how this historical event was reported. McGinnis substantiates in UNANSWERED QUESTIONS there persists multiple issues which merit further investigation.

The questions range from, Why jets dispatched from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD ) weren’t able to intercept the hijacked planes? To why then-President George W. Bush did not immediately return to Washington DC once informed of the attack. Also examined is why Bin Laden family members and other Saudi citizens, were flown out in complete secrecy when all other USA flights were suspended.

The book has 24 chapters divided into four sections. Part One provides the background to the 9/11 families’ shift from grief to pressing their government to form a blue-ribbon 9/11 commission. A Family Steering Committee (FSC) representing 9/11 families was formed to persuade the 9/11 Commission to investigate why the Pentagon’s trillion dollar defense fund utterly failed to defend the nation against the 9/11 attack.

The formation of the FSC was necessary, according to McGinnis, “because the Bush administration was reluctant to conduct a formal investigation. In fact, it took 14 months to appoint the Commission. In contrast, the inquiry into the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion was concluded within four months. Part Two details the proceedings of the 9/11 Commission and the Family Steering Committee attempts to keep the inquiry on track.

Part Three, Citing his references in the the 83-page addendum, 70 percent of all the questions posed to the FSC have still to be addressed or answered. The Fourth section of the book details some of the family’s satisfaction with the official account and those who want a new investigation and/or wish to pursue legal action against those suspected of being complicit in the attack.

“The ability of the 9/11 families to come together, educate themselves about national security and national politics, and raise their voices to demand action, is in the best tradition of grassroots democracy in this country.” ~ Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, 9/11 Commission Co-Chairmen, Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 911 Commission
