One of the oddest things that I saw/heard was one of the talking heads (Dan Rather I think) with the “live video” behind him and getting a report over the “wire” (or cell phone) that one of the towers had collapsed. He said something like “well - that’s obviously not true as they are still standing”. Then, like a minute or two later (but not a 7-second delay) - the first one DOES collapse.
I had a lot of it on tape - but not that. Still not sure what that was about. I wonder if they had it on a longer delay or something.
Since I’m on the west coast, it had happened as i woke up to my radio issuing reports of it. I turned on CNN and watched in horror as it unfolded.
When the first tower collapsed, the CNN anchor kept saying it looks like an explosion or someting, he couldn’t tell what was happening.
I couldn’t believe that as any fool could see the building was coming down.
