This guy said a lot more intelligent things than most of the other radio stations and especially television stations. He didn't try to say that it was a small plane, didn't act like the second building should have been completely evacuated by the time the second plane hit, didn't try to say that there was a problem with air traffic control, recognized that there was very little chance of survival for anyone above the impact point and he called it as terrorism right after the second plane hit. And I'm only about 25 minutes in and I'm already impressed. Some of the other DJs and TV news reporters said some of the dumbest things, even considering that it had just started and there was so much they didn't know. But this guy did drive me crazy when he kept saying the smoke was bellowing over and over instead of billowing.
@@jerradmechals1 as someone who took Journalism class in High School even if it is obvious you have to ask an eye witness such questions because they have a different point of view than what may be seen from a tv camera Some channels had a camera view that didn't see the 2nd plane, just an explosion. Some eye witnesses had a similar view.
@@basedjiren3889 that was so sad but they didn't have a crystal ball to know that the second tower was going to be hit especially since they were assuming that the first crash must have been an accident. In their thinking, they didn't need 50,000 people all evacuating the buildings at one time which would have made it even more difficult for emergency vehicles and equipment to be brought in. Plus people would have been at risk from falling debris. They thought the people would be safer staying put. Some people just weren't comfortable staying in the tower just in case and evacuated anyway. But even then not all of them would have made it because it took so long to get down from the upper floors and they only ended up having 18 minutes to do it.

I keep going back and watching and listening to these broadcasts to understand what I might’ve felt like as an adult when this happened. I remember being 8 and in my third grade class, and at that age you don’t really have the capacity to interpret a tragedy even of just one death let alone thousands. I didn’t understand why we got sent home from school early. I didn’t understand what terrorism was. And the first flight I ever went on was in 2003 in the midst of the War on Terror. I was so excited and my parents were terrified to fly again. If that would’ve been my first flight as an adult… I would’ve needed a Xanax…. No way would I have been so excited to fly. Like it’s so crazy how much a little kid’s brain just can’t understand……
My Kid was 5, first day of kindergarten. He told me they just played in the playground all day but he recognized the sadness and wanted to know what was going on. My wife at the time was working at the four season boston and they locked down the hotel as the saudi royal family was staying there and they figured out saudi was involved pretty quick. She didnt come home for 3 days. As an adult at the time I actually did need xanax the first time I flew after that so its funny that you reconize that! It was terrifying. I was in the Boston area at the time and as you know one of the planes came from there. One of my co-workers son was on the plane, another just happened to be at windows of the world on the 110 floor and also didnt make it.
I was in third grade and our teacher kept walking out of the room. We had just won a fundraising contest and were supposed to have a pizza party that week, so that’s what we thought was going to happen. Then one by one kids kept getting called to the office and told to bring all their things. The fire drill they held they day after probably wasn’t well thought out
I was in 3rd grade too, and I'm grateful my teacher kept us from knowing what was going on. My older brother saw it at school and then my dad was watching the news when we came home from school. I'm honestly glad I wasn't an adult when this happened. The closest we've probably experienced as adults is January 6th and the Ukraine invasion, and both of those gave me anxiety for days. I definitely needed Xanax for that.
I was 20 when this happened and was very much clueless, uneducated and in the dark as anyone your age at the time could have been, honestly. I grew up in Southern California and even at that age had no idea what the World Trade Center was just because it wasn't ever anything that was relevant or a part of my life until 9/11.
I was playing drums at a weekly gig the night before 9/11 so of course i slept through the entire thing….I guess thats why i have always sorta been obsessed with the media coverage of it being either tv or radio (clearly i need better hobbies) none the less this is a great time capsule of that truly chaotic day….You all did well to go from a rock n roll morning show to a news show in no time flat
7:50 Regardless of how true this actually was (people claiming to see them leaning. It’s honestly hard for me to tell in most of the old footage.), the fact they were already talking potential collapse that early is crazy, as a lot of news you hear didn’t really discuss that possibility.
I can truly appreciate the swift counter and disgust to all the racism they were flooded with while taking calls. Even in 2022 that was hard to listen to.
Almost a full 24 years now for WHAT? This nonsense day cuz it is nonsense go listen to drew and mike show from this day they are the most intelligent at least a Lil bit talking about it looks and feels like someone is pushing a button and bringing these buildings down ...🫤
As a Canadian, I'm not offended at all about the remarks. We did a great job during 911 helping out and other situations too...but let's not forget our part in Air India and our completely inept security at the Vancouver Airport. Thanks for uploading this tape. The coverage was good and the opinions were interesting.
You mentioned this would be the first major tragedy for some kids. This was mine. This was what my dad said “My JFK shooting.” Dad was 10 when JFK was shot and he was in class when they heard the news. Same with me being 8 and in my 3rd grade class when they turned on the news of 9/11.
@@FallenAngel53 In other words: “How could the dj have known this was terrorism before the news reported it?” And “how could the dj have known the towers would collapse before they did?”
1:37:08- Amazing that he nailed the exact thing that happened with Flight 93 well before any of the national media bozos which didn't know til the movie was released years later.
Ahhh not correct in the least. By the next morning we all knew of the line “let’s roll” from a passenger about to attack the terrorist. The movie was a retelling of what anyone that watched the news during the day and weeks after 9/11.
@@SaltyChip people don't proof read on RU-vid so sometimes you'll see comments like this, vfgyfdyrchyddg and the person actually typing will think it's a proper sentence.
Listen, I know they are reacting out of raw emotion due to the event that unfolded at that time, but blowing up other countries in retaliation solves nothing. It just creates more damage, more suffering, and more casualties...
Wow this is really interesting to listen to and hear the caller’s and host’s innocent speculation, a lot of it turning out to be spot on correct. Amazing how our gov’t spent the next 10 years making sure no single person entered this country without an extreme vetting and yet today our gov’t has totally dropped its guard and allows millions of completely unknown foreigners to just walk into the country unvetted, even incentivizing them with taxpayer's cash and benefits.
1:49:35 only person i have ever heard correctly guess there was a mutiny on flight 93. wow. pretty much the best guess of the entire day along with the expert on Sky News who predicts the towers would fall. real credit to both, on a day of terrible guesswork not many people got the detail right.
The only thing I can’t stand about this broadcast is the annoying lady talking over everyone. Rest In Peace to all those innocent people. Never forget. ❤
@@TupacNation because you were the one who enjoyed using those words on people and not one of the people who were hurt by your words. You can still use any word you like, it’s just that now, we’ve realized people like you are jerks who deserved to be called out for being so. Boo hoo, people get mad at you when you’re mean to them.
@@jtr9492 what's better with Howard sterns reactions? He wants to end it every 15 minutes and almost panicing. Now he tries to remove it from the Internet.
No hate but the talking over each other was very frustrating. With the comment “it’s easy to get into Canada” is so unfair & inaccurate comment to make. Also keep in mind Gander Newfoundland helped so many Americans & other countries during that day & time. RIP 🙏🙏🙏 to all those we lost that day ❤️ from 🇨🇦 Vancouver
@@yeetnama9094 I hope you're being sarcastic. Because the entire US is in betweeen Mexico and Canada, so where are people mass migrating into Canada from? If from the US then their mass migration can't be higher than ours because every one of the ones going into Canada first came through the US. We know that all immigrants don't leave into Canada so Canada would only have a fraction of what we have. I think what they were talking about is how easy it is to cross the Canada/US border at legal border crossings and perhaps how lax airport security was. Whether it was accurate or not.
Yeah unfortunately one thing that Americans tend to do is try and make others out to be guilty of things that it becomes apparent the US itself is guilty of. It's easier for them to think that another nation allowed 4 groups of people onto airplanes with weapons capable of taking over the planes. Turns out not only did they board in the US but they trained to fly the planes right here as well. I think the fact that Canada allowed a huge number of airplanes to land in their nation that were bound for the US is amazing. They didn't know if those planes had hijackers on board. They then took care of the passengers that were stranded there instead of being at their destination. We should be thanking Canada instead of criticizing them. Thank you! Not surprising though because the same guys assume that all taxi drivers from ME decent are terrorists. It's the ugliness of US bigotry.
First time me hearing of the third explosion which took Amanda’s phone out then just a few minutes later the first tower fell. First time I’ve heard of that explosion in the msm
Watch and listen again. They clearly say that what was first described as a third explosion was actually the building collapsing. Not a seperate explosion.
Yes there were warnings in the sense that an event was imminent, the lights were blinking red, lots of chatter and yes I think we got caught sleeping that day. However, the warnings weren't specific enough to know exactly where, when and how unfortunately.
Interesting the raw reactions to the fact that there were indeed explosions in different spots of the towers that everyone now denies exists and blame the collapse "only" on the planes.
Exactly!!! I always thought maybe that bombing in 93 was a practice run. And it’s so weird that one of the flights was flight 93 which was the same year of the bombing.
What rubbish, of course there's going to be loud noises and confusion when massive towers have massive damage. Everyone attributes loud noises to "explosions", never mind that massive numbers of videos showing *zero* "explosions". Likewise the zoomed in video showing one of the towers pinching inwards from structural failure immediately before the collapse.
Only this week I learned there was a 5th Plane which fortunately returned to the Gate. The lead Flight Attendant had incidentally informed the Pilot there were “four Arab men sitting in 1st Class”. They got away but their luggage was filled with their usual shi7.
@@batmanrobin2011It's plausible. There's an interview with the flight trainer that was training Hanni Hanjour in Phoenix. He noted that in the days immediately after 9/11 that airlines were finding box cutters on other planes. He said it long before TMZ.
Man the racism was cringeworthy. I'm not talking about assuming it's someone from the Middle East or of Muslim faith, I think that is automatically suspected because of who typically committed attacks against US targets, but the taxi driver comment, wow.
5:31 "Terrorism from within the country" never a truer word spoken in more ways than one. 7:48 If they were starting to lean then they would fall over,, Not straight down in their own footprint. Well I'm leaving now at 10:31 because this was obviously scripted and recorded well after the fact. The audio after 2:pm being missing is one hell of a big clue. Yes I decided to stay and listen 23:35 It DID come out of the other side of the building but unless you can find the real footage it is not shown, I watched the second tower strike live from Australia and what came through the other side of that tower was not a commercial airliner. It had the nose of a supersonic aircraft, think of a Concorde (although they no longer flew then), no way was it a Boing or anything like it. 23:58 I find the mention of the toppling of the towers amazing at this stage as at this time NO high rise or skyscraper has ever come down due to fire. 24:00 Back up the places of departure and when you knew of them! 32:58 We are one of your allies. But a statement like "WE ARE THE STRONGEST NATION IN THE WORLD"?????? I'm bloody glad you are not a diplomat mate, just look where the world sits now! It aint so. 36:30 This time I'm off, hoo roo.
It didn’t just come down due to fire. They were also basically sliced where the planes flew in. If you watch any close up videos of the collapses, you can see they start to crumble right exactly where the planes flew in And also people never seem to understand this We didn’t NEED to demolition the buildings down to justify going to Afghanistan. The 3 planes targeting and crashing were enough to justify it.
I remember vividly during the footage of that day, during people reacting overseas, a man holding a sign that said "US do you wonder WHY you are hated?" I was a young adult and knew little of politics, but boy did that make me think. I've never been able to find that footage.
How would they? It came in out of the blue, unexpected and really fast. And anyone standing on the opposite side of the building that was hit wouldn't have seen the plane, just the explosion. That's why some people thought it was a bomb at first. Even the people that were in view of it wouldn't have known unless they happened to be looking up right before it transpired.
@@mothershelper1981 That and just the utter confusion, disbelief & conflicting information from witnesses during those first few moments. Some of these reporters I would guess were playing it safe at first (or some were just clueless) as to not cause panic, but after the 2nd plane hit it was plainly obvious what was really going on.
There is a camera that is always on the Manhattan skyline. The camera was point and focus on the WTC immediately after the crash and a minute later the picture was being shown live. The reporters can only say what they know and all they knew for sure was there was a huge fire.
