On the morning of 9/11, In Depth co-host Charles Feldman: "I was driving to work. Early call. I doubt the sun was even up yet in L.A. My pager -- remember those? -- frantically tried to jump off my belt at about the same time the news came on the radio. A plane apparently had struck one of the two World Trade Center towers.
And that is how it began.
At least for me. No doubt differently for you.
I had lived across the broad street from the towers for years and, as a correspondent, covered the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
Although I had since left New York for Los Angeles, 9/11 , for a short while, brought me back to help cover the day that changed the world.
Mike Simpson, In Depth co-host: "I was heading to school. At home, it was just a fire. By the time I was on the bus, the radio said it was worse. Another explosion. Then there was someone saying that one of the towers had collapsed. Which I didn't believe. Because it was the music station. Not the news. So I assumed they *had* to have gotten it wrong.
Once on campus. It was on the TV. And that's where we all sat. For most of the day. Watching the coverage. Nobody was quite sure what to say. So they sent us home early. And we walked back to our houses ... quiet .... because nobody was quite sure what to say."
Some say America was united that day as it has not been since. Others have a different view. That's fine. For the next 90 minutes, we will go In Depth on what happened that day to America, to the world, to all of us.
