Don't blame her. She's just a news reader. Somebody else worte it,and somebody else had to approve it before she was ever allowed to say it.
As an aside, I recently watched archives of the news coverage of 9/11 as it was happening; I didn't see it as I was working in downtown DC that morning and was occupied with getting home safely. The quality of commentary ranged from superb to inane (one said that the fire in Tower 2 appeared to be going out, for example). It made me cry, too, seeing it all over again. We must never forget.
