The Liquid Bomb Plot (DVD)

In the summer of 2006, as many as 18 conspirators planned to simultaneously blow up almost 10 airplanes by bringing hydrogen peroxide-injected soda-bottles-turned-bombs onto flights bound from London to the U.S. and Canada. With unprecedented access to undercover agents and top officials from British Counter-Terror Command, the CIA and Homeland Security, National Geographic goes inside the true story behind the largest and most sophisticated terrorism plot since September 11, 2001, which changed airline security measures around the world. From the producers of the critically acclaimed series Locked Up Abroad, The Liquid Bomb Plot, delves deeply into the investigation from both sides of the Atlantic with rare surveillance footage and exclusive, firsthand interviews with some of the most senior officials involved in the race to stop the bombers just days before they put their plan into action.
