Former President Bush Recalls 9/11



My Comment
: I was in my office in Montreal when I heard about the second plane striking the Tower. I then called my brother in San Francisco .... waking him up .... especially when I told him that America was now at war. Because the internet was incredibly slow, I then made the decision to go home and watch what was unfolding. When I got home was when I then learned about the Pentagon being hit.

I had 3 VCRs in the house, where I then started taping (non-stop) the news on ABC, CBC, and NBC, and I did so for the next 24 hours. It is almost 10 years since that day, and I have yet to look at any of the videotapes of that day.

  1. There needs to be a good
    compilation of these videos
    put together and offered to
    the public. There was so
    much that happened that day
    that is now forgotten. The
    on-the-spot-as-it-happened
    reporting was refreshingly
    honest. Not much has been
    that way since.

  2. Thank you OFS for your comment. I completely agree. Watching Peter Jennings on ABC reporting on 9/11 would be surreal though since he had passed away in 2005.
