What follows is a succession of "BREAKING NEWS" bulletins, as they happened live, beginning with WNYW-TV in New York. WNYW (Channel 5) was the first TV station in the world to interrupt their regular programming with the breaking news at 8:48 that morning, just two minutes after the impact. CNN's "breaking news" bulletin follows at 8:49, and so on. Included in this "BREAKING NEWS" segment are the original bulletins from WCBS-TV (Channel 2, New York), WNBC-TV (Channel 4, New York), WABC-TV (Channel 7, New York), Fox News Channel, WPIX-TV (Channel 11, New York), NY1 (New York One, All News), MSNBC, CBS News, ABC News and NBC News. (Also included in this segment, for the sake of completeness, is an original "breaking news" audio bulletin from a local NYC news radio station, WCBS-AM 880. Accompanying this audio-only clip is some generic "B-Roll" video footage from the streets of Manhattan that morning)

This is an exeprt from the DVD - "September 11, 2001 - As It Happened - A Composite."

  • I never thought of ...

    I never thought of that at all. Excellent observation, but of course we may never know. It's obviously filed away with the hotel and surveillance video images of the Pentagon itself.

  • I'm not a ...

    I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination but I find it absolutely incredible that there are only two videos of the first impact (and one timelapse video), considering the amount of Webcams situated around New York and the sheer amount of other cameras. Its incomprehensible to believe that the Naudet's video was the only one trained directly at the North Tower at the time of impact.

  • To be fair, at 1:56 ...

    To be fair, at 1:56 there is a live video feed from the Empire State Building looking South towards the North Tower. Flight 11 flew right past the ESB. This camera MUST have had a great view of the first plane hitting the North Tower, where is the footage?

  • I truly respect the ...

    I truly respect the NYFD and the police departments, they truly sacrificed that day and still sacrifice today. It boils my blood that the men in power put more people at risk than needed. But it sounds like a phony call.
    I do belive a tragedy happened that day and that terrorists attacked us.

  • sorry, meant "late ...

    sorry, meant "late edition" from the night of the 11th, not last. Seats and other plane parts were found as well all over the area. NYPD and FBI had to rope off areas as evidence. many areas were not accessible to civilians, we had to be careful treating people as not to disturb any of it while we were there.

  • and by the way, ...

    and by the way, today, Dec 1, we bury another brother who died as a result of the health effects that day. Lt Brian Ellicott, otherwise healthy guy. We called him Shrek. Big dude, 6'7, 280. Non-Hodgekkins Lypmphoma diagnosed 3 yrs ago. So I STILL bury collegues. Once again, this did happen as it did. Tell him and his family there were no planes.

  • u wanna know how ...

    u wanna know how many body parts were initially found on the roof of the Marriot Hotel (3 WTC, on the west base pf 2 WTC) prior to the collapse? Tons. The daily News in the last edition from that night had a very gruesome pic of a severed arm w/ wedding band still on it. So yes, there were body parts. Many lost after the collapse

    Funny the most animated caller, says he sees firetrucks and police moving down there but it is dead quiet.
    And what of the large wheel 2-4 blocks away? the landing gear would have been internal on the plane so for it to survive the impact is phenominal! why no seats/bodies/ect....

    v=azURaXAe2mY
    Gary Welz, a paid actor, was a witness who "saw the plane" later admitted he did not see a plane. He is believed to also do "Tony Arrigo's " voice. I looked at Arrigo's location on google maps 3d and you can not see the wtc from there.

  • A LOT of the ...

    A LOT of the reporters did not see planes. One, Dick Oliver; a local FoX reporter kept trying to tell them people were saying they saw a missile, and they say "no I can see a plane ON THE TV screen. But he was THERE. Don Dahler watched the 2nd explosion and did not see the plane, and they were saying yes it's on our screen. Someone else was sending them footage with a plane added in.

  • These images are ...

    These images are doctored. There was better technology than those blurry videos in 2001. If you look at a lot of these images you will start to notice buildings in different places, etc... That opening shot was impossible, with the towers just behind the building like that. Anyone can say they "saw the planes" on the internet. If there were really planes they wouldn't have to hire actors to say they saw them and families of media.

  • we saw the planes, ...

    we saw the planes, we survived the collapse (thank Christ myself and my cousins made it, can't say the same for so many of our brothers and friends), and we worked the pile for weeks on end. It F**king happened AS YOU SAW IT ON YOUR SAFE LITTLE TV SETS!!!!!!! So shut that conspiracy S**t up!!!! But seriously, thanks for this post. I only saw some of the WB11 broadcast before I left home, this was good stuff. Thanks again. God bless.

  • Back to the intial ...

    Back to the intial reports, find links to the FDNY radio transmissions. All reports said it was a plane. Bn 1, E7, L1 witnessed it firsthand, E10 (right nextdoor to the towers) heard or saw it. I was on B'way and Fulton when the first collapse happened and ran into 222 B'way for cover with the person I was helping on the street and a few other medics. the top portion leaned first, broke, then the pancakeing.

    2, you can see the WTC from 12th st. Hell, you can see it from 25th at certain vantage points. We were on the LIE from my house, then the BQE and had clear view to the trade ctr all the way. Google maps, please, talk to us who live here and lived this.

    ok, time to set you fuckers straight. 1, it was a plane. As a member of the fire dept., Batt 1 Chief gave the initial report. I got a call from my cousin who was the 5th alarm assignment that day. He told me to pick up my other cuz (another ff) and roll to our repsective houses since a total FDNY recall would be in effect. We were on the BQE when the 2nd plane hit, and Tommy said "F**k this, head for the trade center!!!!"

  • Zeppelin, the ...

    Zeppelin, the Channel 5 report you see is the very first of the day, only two minutes after the crash. They were nearby covering elections that day when they heard (not saw!) what happened and were able to turn their camera in the direction of the WTC and interrupt programming. I'd say that's pretty amazing work for something that happened just two minutes prior.
