I know its not their fault and hindsight is 20/20, but CNN's eyewitnesses where pretty useless! Explosion from within the tower is forgivable, but "2nd plane was a prop" was completely wrong. Plus why the hell was the commentator speculating about a navigation system error when everyone else in the world immediately though terrorists!?

Subject: Historical footage

I watched this unfold on TV at my high school during my 2nd period history class. Instead of learning about 16th century history my teacher turned on the TV so we could watch history in the making.
To the commenters above.
There is overwhelming documentary, eyewitness, and first hand evidence to this day at the time of this writing that this attack was not pulled off by some shadow government. Further to claim that the attack didnt happen is on par with holocaust denial and the denial of the moon landings.

I highly suggest a trip to New York City (2008) the site is still under construction. Or if you are skeptical of the 911 report you can consult one of the living and many civil engineers that studied the report.
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology will be more than happy to provide you in depth documentation of the collapse of the towers.
Lastly to the nature of these comments, the internet provides a wonderful opportunity to see the past like you were there. But it also provides a sounding board for every racist nutjob on the planet to spew information that is incredibly false.
If you want to propose your own theory of what happened that day, back it up with evidence.

Subject: completely fake

the whole 911 is a scam, the tehnology of video today, and cnn on this day looks more like monchrome than color, obviously a blue screen used for the background, the smoke coming from the towers is choppy looks like a slow motion capture. only 1 live on the scene interview, doubt that is real, and then a funny thing they mention in the studio that the plane struck about the 80th floor and the witness right away says the plane struck from about the 80th, boy she has a good sense of distance from way down there. and then thereafter only phone interviews, the discrepancies go on and on, obvious a inside job, media included.. see september lies, octopus, and loose change for the true story

I find it odd that with all the stationary cameras these news affiliates have that they could not have captured both strikes.There is a lot of technology involved in these news broadcasts and it's impossible to believe that this is the best that they have to offer.

Subject: Excellent TV Coverage

Within three minutes of the initial crash into WTC 1, CNN was on the air. Within 2-3 more minutes, CNN was interviewing reliable witnesses to the events in lower Manhattan on the air.

The only disagreement I have with CNN in their initial coverage is when they briefly switched over to local affiliate coverage a few moments before the second plane hit. Obviously CNN didn't know the second plane was coming, however once it did hit CNN should have switched back to their own crews for reporting. Instead, several minutes lapsed before CNN brought its coverage back from the affiliate.

I enjoy the individuals that continue to manufacture various conspiracy theories. While I think each may have serious mental defects, I respect their ability to use their 1st Amendment right with respect to Freedom of Speech. While their concepts may be paranoid delusions, horrible attempts at humor, or any other variety of nonsense, they are still protected under the 1st Amendment. In the meantime those of us interested in the actual events of that fateful day will keep comments of a rational nature.

Subject: incredible tv fakery!

This was clearly a tv fake! Even the eyewitness said some people thought they saw a missile hit those towers..
No planes hit those towers to be sure.
The satanic cult in government that did this have installed psy-ops in the media as they are complicit in this cover-up!

Subject: great!

this is the best quality footage of CNN's coverage I've found online. Highly recommend this as it is completely uncut and included the first reports.
