Part 3/9:
Mariani became acutely aware of discrepancies and lack of transparency almost immediately following the tragedy.

Instead, she encountered bureaucratic roadblocks and a chilling indifference that fueled her resolve to seek the truth behind 9/11.

Her determination led her to consider whether the government—specifically the Bush administration—was involved in any cover-up of the intelligence failures leading up to 9/11.
