It took less than one minute from the time a second plane struck the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, for Fox News anchor Jon Scott to utter the name of Usama bin Laden on air.
Scott’s chilling, eerie intuition before the towers collapsed seems remarkable two decades later – while the Al Qaeda founder has been known as the terrorist who masterminded the attacks for years, many Americans didn’t even know who bin Laden was at the time.

The Cole led to the Modern Bojinka.
I went to a US Government Class on WMD and Mass Casualty and who was on the cover of our book but UBL himself, this was 1997. The Feds should have been on the lookout.
I started my day on September 11, 2001 at 6:00 AM Pacific Time by starting my truck in the driveway to warm up the engine when I heard an ABC News reporter on the radio say that a plane had struck the World Trade Center.
I have to admit, before that moment I had never heard of the World Trade Center not being a follower of what goes on in New York. The news report made it sound like a small plane had crashed into the building, so I went back inside to grab a cup of coffee before climbing back into my truck to head off to work and then heard that a second plane had just hit the other tower. My first thought was “terrorists” then bin Laden because I had read an article about him in the L.A. Times a couple of years before naming him as a terrorist to watch out for.
