I believe that was Jon Scott and, yes, he grasped the truth of the situation almost immediately. He evoked Bin Laden's name within moments after the first plane hit.
Obviously he's a newscaster who keeps on top of the minutiae of world events and history, not just an empty-headed teleprompter reader.
Yes, Jon Scott, and your assessment of his professionalism and intelligence is no doubt correct.
Jon Scott! Thank You! That's him. Yes he was spot on the whole time, even correcting someone when they said "in 1947 someone flew a B52 into the empire state"
