I caught it a little before the second plane hit and they were discussing the possiblity of it being an accident. They may have mentioned the terrorism aspect before I turned the TV on. We don't get cable so I don't think the reporting I heard was the same. We have to depend on ABC, CBS, NBC. I do remember clearly, though, that when the second plane it, it settled the issue, especially in my mind.
I heard it on 580CFRA on the way out the door that morning.
In the driveway, I mentioned to my husband that some idiot was trying for the Darwin Award.
On the car radio, they mentioned a second plane had hit, and my husband and I both said "Terrorist attack".
IMO, if there had only been one, none of us would know what it really was.
A friend had put me on track so I had been reading alot about Global Terrorism and the Iraqi OCB connection before 9/11 so I was sure immediately that it was deliberate, not to mention the odds of something like that happening at random are pretty slim.
I guess the MSM was trying to buy time until they could think of a way to blame it on Rush.
I have all of it on tape. I'll have to check, but I think I remember the anchors on FNC discussing the possibility it was terrorism, and even mentioning Bin Laden, just moments before the second plane hit.
Check out the 9-11 Remembrance Archive of posts from that day and you'll see that Fox did speculate it might be deliberate, but Freepers were way ahead of Fox and pinned it on OBL within minutes.
