60 Minutes Reports on “Evidence”, “The Future of Warfare”, & “Lourdes” August 24 2025
This Sunday, CBS presents a special postseason edition of 60 MINUTES, airing from 7:00 to 8:00 PM ET/PT. The hour features three compelling stories that span history, technology, and faith.
Evidence
Cecilia Vega investigates new evidence that could reshape our understanding of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The segment reveals that critical information handed to the FBI shortly after the attacks was never shared with the bureau’s field agents or senior intelligence officials. Among the findings is a video of a Saudi national filming the U.S. Capitol, believed to have been al-Qaeda’s fourth target. This report comes amid a lawsuit against the Saudi government by families of the nearly 3,000 victims. The story promises an in-depth look at previously undisclosed details of one of America’s most tragic events.
The Future of Warfare
Sharyn Alfonsi travels to Costa Mesa, California, to meet Palmer Luckey, the tech billionaire behind Anduril, a defense company producing autonomous weapons now deployed by the U.S. military and in Ukraine. Alfonsi examines the artificial intelligence behind these systems and highlights some of the company’s most advanced creations, including an unmanned submarine. While critics refer to these as “killer robots,” Luckey emphasizes their role in the future of warfare, raising important questions about technology, ethics, and global security.
Lourdes
Bill Whitaker reports from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in Southern France, a site recognized for 72 medical miracles. 60 MINUTES goes inside the Lourdes Office of Medical Observations, where expert doctors and researchers examine claims of miraculous cures. The segment explores which cases can be explained by science and which remain mysterious, offering a fascinating look at faith, medicine, and the enduring power of belief.
With stories ranging from groundbreaking investigations to technological innovations and spiritual mysteries, this episode of 60 MINUTES promises an hour of insight, reflection, and discovery.
