Following the broadcast of The Path to 9/11, ABC's owner, the Walt Disney Company, better known as simply "Disney", reportedly ordered an internal corporate investigation into the movie and alleged partisan-slant in its content.
Amy Madigan, who plays Patricia Carver, was actually born on September 11 (although in 1950).
At sixty-seven, Harvey Keitel was significantly older than the real John O'Neal, who was forty when the World Trade Center was bombed, and was forty-nine on September 11, 2001.
Shaun Toub, who portrayed Emad Salem (the F.B.I. informant in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing) in this miniseries, also portrayed El Sayyid Nosair (one of the men responsible for the 1993 bombing) in Path to Paradise: The Untold Story of the World Trade Center Bombing (1997).
Numerous public figures came out in opposition to the mini-series after it aired, citing factual inaccuracies. (There is a disclaimer at the start of the film detailing how events have been telescoped for the purposes of dramatization.) One of those to publicly take issue with the film was Madeleine Albright.
