In the days following the attacks of September 11, 2001, the world struggled to find answers. 
Who were the 19 men who hijacked the planes and committed mass murder and
what could compel them to become martyrs to their cause?

One of the most enigmatic of the hijackers was Ziad Samir Jarrah.  The fifth estate investigated Jarrah's story
and less than a month after 9/11, broadcast the groundbreaking documentary of the young, educated man from a respected family in Lebanon who ended his life at the controls of UA Flight 93. 

Now, with new and important information about Jarrah, the fifth estate adds to the dramatic story of The Pilot.
