CNN will mark the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks by replaying on the Internet the cable network's coverage of that day's events.
Viewers can watch how events unfolded starting at 8:30 a.m., minutes before the first reports of an airplane hitting the World Trade Center. The feed will run in real time, as the network showed it five years ago, until midnight.

Online viewers will be able to watch live reports of memorial services through one of the feeds. So that viewers won't accidentally stumble upon graphic footage from 2001, the replay feed will be covered with a notice instructing users to click only if they want to watch.
"Our users may choose to view the stream of coverage from Sept. 11, or live coverage of memorial services at Ground Zero, or they may click through the numerous interactive elements on the site," said David Payne, senior vice president and general manager of CNN.com. "They have the power to determine the best way for them to remember the anniversary."
CNN is a unit of Time Warner Inc.
It's a great idea, but it will be very unsettling.
We should be unsettled from time to time.
Never forget!!!
Thanks for letting us know about this.
Are they going to show Bush reading "My Pet Goat" too?
Now starts the whining by the left.
I'll echo that!
Yes, but I never got to see the live coverage until 11 a.m., when my students went home. I had the TV on in the schoolroom, but with the sound off, and where they couldn't see it. I don't know if I'll watch it, but I think it's important that it be made available.
I wonder how many dumb asses out there will see it and think it's really happening. It will have an Orson Welles effect!
I agree, this needs to be done. America needs a slap-in-the-face reminder.
No. I think we need more Jon Bene Ramsey coverage. There is just not enough! /sarcasm
Me neither. Free Republic was the ONLY information source I had other than local radio until we were sent home about 2 pm, and finally then I could see TV coverage. All the other news websites were too jammed up to function, but FR still worked (albeit very slowly).
The first I knew anything was happening was when a co-worker mentioned something about a plane hitting the WTC. When I couldn't get to any news sites, I hit FR, despite the fact that my workplace had recently blocked FR for some reason. On 9/11, fortunately, the block wasn't working (or they took it down) and I could read the threads as the entire day unfolded.
We need to see this coverage. It will, God willing, give us the strength to do what needs to be done against our enemies, foreign AND domestic.

That that's a conspiracy.
More dead white chicks!!!
But I have to work that day!
I wish it were possible to synchronize the playback of three or four network feeds from that day and see it unedited and uneditorialized.
No, no, no! On the 12th, it will be another Fox News Alert Cat in A Tree, or Car Chase in L.A.!
Why not just go to YouTube and watch the videos of the people jumping off the buildings, of the different angles of plane 2 hitting the tower that were never broadcast?
I did that the other night and had nightmares.
