I wound up spending this evening with CNN on the morning of September 11, 2001.

I just hit the point when CNN reported that a 747 had gone down in Pennsylvania.

I was listening to Bob Edwards on the radio at that point on that awful morning and distinctly recall his stricken voice stating that the missing flight had crashed in Pennsylvania.

I credit CNN for their video.

But wow: they taped the second airliner going into the south tower and their bobbleheads on air don't realize it until two minutes later.

Later they didn't get the comtemporaneous information that there was a fourth hijacked plane in the air: they didn't mention United 93 until this point, whereas the radio newsmen knew enough about it to know that there was a fourth hijacked airliner in the air.

As I was typing, I just hit CNN 10:49am and their guy in DC mentions a 2nd strike on DC averted

What was going on with the early reports of a fire on the Mall and at the State Department?



This is wrenching.


I'm riding this out.
