Cannot get alt text working

No matter how many times I stare at my code, it looks to me like it's the exact same as the code in the video. I can't figure out why my alt text won't show up. Here's my code:

        <?php 
          $thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id(); 
          $thumbnail_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $thumbnail_id, 'thumbnail-size', true );
          $thumbnail_meta = get_post_meta( $thumbnail_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true );
        ?>

        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $thumbnail_url[0]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $thumbnail_meta; ?> featured image"></a>

Sorry, this should have been in WordPress. It's from the Bootstrap to Wordpress course and the video, "Finishing Up Our Bootstrap Slideshow Carousel." I thought it would have been posted under the topic for that exact video when I created that.
