It has been 12-years since the first terrorist attacks on
American soil. 2,996 people lost their
lives that day. A very sad day for all
Americans. It is hard to quantify all
that has changed since then but we lost a great deal of our freedom that we once
enjoyed and perhaps, took for granted until the tragic events of that day.
I will never forget because I was the News Director at
KTLA, a legendary TV station in Los Angeles with a reputation for solid news
coverage. I got a call at home, as I was
getting ready for work from our morning news Executive Producer, RichGoldner. He asked me if I was watching
the program. I said yes and we both
thought that some crazy person crashed his private plane into the World TradeCenter. It was just so surreal that even
as experienced and skeptical news people we couldn’t fathom anything more than that at that moment. As we talked, the 2nd plane
hit. We then knew this was a story that
was much larger and significant than we could ever imagine. We mobilized our news team and we were on the
air LIVE for two straight days.
Today, let’s remember where we all were
when this tragedy happened and how it changed all of us. Let’s bring to mind our thoughts
and prayers for all of the innocent victims and their families and let’s resolve to never forget them.
What are
you thinking about on this 12th anniversary of 9/11?
