I was flipping channels earlier this Sunday afternoon and came across this PBS Frontline episode from 2002. It was about John O’Neill, a cranky and prescient FBI agent who investigated Al Qaeda attacks in Yemen and Africa. And in a wild twist, became the head of security at the twin towers after being forced out of government work. You can’t make this stuff up.

“A controversial figure inside the buttoned-down world of the FBI, he was forced out of the job he loved and entered the private sector – as director of security for the World Trade Center.”
