Shep trying to paint a rosy picture. Now reporting that three weeks prior to 911 OBL promised a big attack.
Saw it on the Net first...then turned on the TV...CNN...I ran to wake up my roomate....Then my Mom called....then my Dad....Then I called my Boss...I started talking to people at work that I'd never talked to before....People were scared and angry at the same time.
I don't know Shep seems like the type who would have took his cousin to the prom.
Arab paper in London quoted OBL, three weeks previous, saying he'd attack US interests. There was a warning for US interests after that issued by US govt.
Now going to sleep!
All the dims need to have their eyes taped open like in the movie 'A Clockwork Orange' and be made to watch these tapes until they come to their senses.. if possible.
I think I remember he made his first initial press conference about 1.5 or 2 hours after the attacks begun.
Just keep thinking of Shep's reporting during Katrina
All these folks knew who Osama was...all these people knew Clinton did NOTHING about him.
This was around the same time the Christian Missionaries were kidnapped in Afghanistan, and I remember the Taliban warning that the US would pay.
I was asleep through all of it. My son-in-law, a sergeant in the Army, left a message on my phone to turn on my tv and see what had happened. I was numb watching hit after hit after hit. My husband was on the waterfront in Jersey City in a high-riser 20 floors up, he eyewitnessed the 2nd plane hitting the 2nd tower...saw the plane coming over the Hudson. He was visibly shaken when he got home at noon, our son was with him, they work together setting tile.
Thank You.. It's a wonderful thing being on the Right side.
My son and I had just moved to Seattle and were still unpacking and sleeping late, getting used to west coast time. I awoke to the radio news saying a plane had gone into one of the towers. Like you, I turned on the tv in time to see the 2nd hit. I ran to wake up my son and quickly told him what happened and to turn on the tv. Meanwhile, having just moved from DC, I started calling family and former co-workers, and of course, couldn't get through for many tense, worrisome, hours.
found the thread about Kerry ... though it doesn't show him bumping into anyone (can't rememebr why I thought he did)
Though if you read down .. seems he told two different stories about that morning
Video of Kerry Leaving Capital on 9-11 from BBC

Same here. I thought Shep was excellent during the Iraqi War, and also enjoyed the segments with Rick Leventhal.
So much burning . . that pile burned for days and days and days.
Initially when the first plane hit the towers the local morning CBC host was reading off the Canada Press wire that the World Trade Center had a huge explosion, and they didn't think anything of it. I did capture the first plane hitting the tower on videotape because I had videotaped Imus that particular morning. That's the only archive I've got of 9/11.
Amen!
First two names that popped into my head after watching the second tower get hit were "Saddam Hussein" and "Osama bin-Laden", because both of them had been calling for Jihad against the west for years prior to 9/11.
