American Airlines Statement Regarding The Path to 9/11 on ABC-TV Monday September 11, 6:03 pm ET FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Airlines today issued the following statement regarding the ABC-TV program The Path to 9/11: "The Disney/ABC television program, The Path to 9/11, which began airing last night, is inaccurate and irresponsible in its portrayal of the airport check-in events that occurred on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. "A factual description of those events can be found in the official government edition of the 9/11 Commission Report and supporting documents. [The film claims it's based on the 9/11 Commission Report.- -JS] "This misrepresentation of facts dishonors the memory of innocent American Airlines employees and all those who lost their lives as a result of the tragic events of 9/11."
