I, too, was watching the Today show while reading the morning paper....I was kinda paying attention when *something* happened....
I started channel surfing to see what was happening and all the news shows were showing what Today was...I went to CNBC which had a view from the other side of the Manhattan....
CNBC knew something major happened. They had Ron Ensana (TV financial analyst) go down to see. He ran down to the WTC with camera men and was there when the second plane hit....they had him live on the air. He was in tears.
I was crying....All I could do was cry.
For months, if I saw footage or read a story about it, I cried. I am crying as I type this. Watching people's horrified faces on live TV, while they watched people jump from buildings will be forever burned in my brain. Watching them run in terror, in the ash and soot.....I will never forget
ABC just showed their footage of Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer from 9-11-01...they were talking and suddenly they cut to the WTC burning saying it looked like a plane must have hit the buildings and because of flight plans and the way plane routes are, it would be unbelieveable for a plane to get that close.....it had to be a horrible accident....it could not be planned.
They continued to show them talking about it and showing the image of the burning tower; suddenly, Charlie groaned/yelled. "Another plane just hit the other tower....this was not an accident".
FOX News just ran all of their coverage from 9-11-01, the most chilling:
Watching people jump from the buildings...the reporters on the street were yelling that people were jumping to their deaths to escape the flames and death by fire.
How could someone jump from 80 floors up, knowing they were going to die?! I am chilled to my bones thinking those persons last thoughts......
Hamas, your comments are very insensitive and uncalled for. I am disappointed.....
