Description: The 26th Street Garage: The FBI’s Untold Story of 9/11 is a documentary that delves into the aftermath of the World Trade Center collapse on September 11, 2001. The FBI’s New York office was in chaos as agents evacuated, uncertain if their building in lower Manhattan would also be targeted. Amid the thick smoke and falling debris, FBI agents worked tirelessly to rescue survivors and gather information. Upon receiving directives from Washington, D.C., they realized their critical mission: to uncover the masterminds behind the attack.
Barry Mawn, then Assistant Director in charge of the FBI’s New York office, faced the challenge of finding a secure location near Ground Zero to establish a command center. The 26th Street Garage, an automotive facility near the FBI’s New York headquarters, became the unlikely choice. Special Agent Kristy Kottis initially questioned how the garage could function as a command center, and Mawn acknowledged it was far from ideal. However, looking back, Kottis now regards it as one of the greatest untold stories of 9/11.
