Zero Hour

On a balmy evening in October 2002, young Western tourists and Balinese revelers pack the bars and nightclubs that line the main strip of Kuta, on the resort island of Bali. The night seems full of promise; of sizzling romance and unfettered fun. However, for hundreds of these partygoers this night will be their last. Just after 11 pm, Islamic militant suicide bombers detonate their deadly payloads inside two of the area’s most popular nightclubs - Paddy’s Bar and the Sari Club. Barely a year after the 9/11 attacks in New York City and Washington, Bali adds fuel to the fear that terrorism is now a highly organized, global conspiracy. Zero Hour 2 – The Bali Bombing recreates the final hour leading up to the most devastating terrorist attack in Asian history. Using dramatic reconstruction, as well as interviews with survivors and experts, the episode unravels the truth about the so-called global conspiracy and reveals the inner-workings of a terrorist cell on the verge of a strike.
