First aired by CNN at 10:10 a.m and replayed partly at 10:19, for a rare example.
CNN had their camera at 5 Penn Plaza (their New York headquarters) up and running early that morning. See a still from 8:00 am on CNNfn (taken from this news compilation from the Ebbetts DVD “September 11, 2001 – As It Happened – A Composite“).
As the footage plays, anchor Aaron Brown says, “It almost looks like one of those planned implosions.” How true. Of course, what else would it look like?
