15 Years After 9/11: Are We Safer? : Boston, Paris, San Bernardino, Brussels, Orlando, and Nice: These are just a handful of cities that witnessed horrible acts of terror in recent years. This month will mark 15 years since the devastating terrorist attack in New York City on September 11, 2001. And as hard as it might be to admit, this year will be the first year that children in schools will learn about the attack as an event in history instead of a day they will never forget. Does terror look the same today as it did on the morning of 9/11? Producer, director, and correspondent Miles O'Brien will join us to discuss his new
