The cost of 9/11 - a podcast by triple j

On September 11, 2001 planes hijacked by terrorists crashed into New York’s World Trade Centre, starting a day of horrifying attacks that would kill 2,700 people.

Almost immediately, the Australian Government committed to sending troops to Afghanistan with the US, effectively to get revenge. Two decades on, Hack asks leaders of the day if it was worth it.

And, we hear from family members of those who died in the attacks

Plus, young Muslims talk about living in an inflamed era of Islamophobia.

Live guests:
John Howard, former Prime Minister
Sanam Wahidi, a young Afghan Australian from Afghan Women's Organisation
