9/11 Fifth Anniversary

CNN's online video service, Pipeline, will be showing CNN's coverage from September 11th 2001 exactly as it unfolded 5 years ago.

It starts at 1.30 pm UK time (8.30am New York) - just before the first plane hit the World Trade Center.

You normally have to pay for Pipeline, but it's free all day today - you can find it on CNN's website. They also stream CNN International, so you should also be able to watch their coverage of the anniversary.

Earlier, Pipe 2 was showing a live raw feed of a CNN reporter at Ground Zero, who was doing live interviews with various local stations.

Elsewhere, WNBC and WCBS in New York are streaming their live anniversary coverage, starting at 1.30pm UK time. I'd imagine WABC will do the same.

When I open the annivesary stream (the as it happened coverage), I get...


Is this coz I'm outside the US, or my work internet restrictions?

Mark, is it possible for you to record the first couple of hours of the Pipeline 4 stream showing the original broadcast using something like WMrecorder?

If you can, I would be extremely grateful and would be able to offer something in return for your troubles.

The 'as it happened' coverage seems to be working ok for me - although it's just a holding screen at the moment. CNN Pipeline is available in the UK normally, so there shouldn't be any problems seeing it here.

I'm really sorry to disappoint, but I don't have the PC power to record any of the streaming - my laptop would grind to a halt! Maybe someone else can help, though?

Thanks anyway. I hopefully have someone on DS who can record it.

I'd record it myself but I am stuck at work and have no remote access to my home PC

Folks does anybody know how to view the Pipeline feed in full screen? In the 'help' section it tells you to double-click the video, but that doesnt seem to work??

Something I've never known for sure...when did BBC One break the news? I know it was after Neighbours, but was it before or after the second plane hit?

BBC1 broke the news right after Neighbours - by which time both towers had been hit.

That's the first point at which I heard the news, actually. I'd tuned in for Diagnosis Murder - which, ironically, was due to be the second part of a two-part episode involving a plane crash.

Ok, thanks. I first heard when ITV broke the news after the first part of Crossroads.

Those who were in TV Forum chat on the 10th September will remember we all pretended to get on a plane. Which then crashed.

And Asa reuploaded the original 9/11 thread earlier this year, at http://www.tvforum.co.uk/cgi-bin/sept11.cgi .

Any site where I can find the BBC coverage from 2001?

MSNBC is also broadcasting NBC's coverage from 2001 in real time - but without any of the original on-screen graphics.

Strangely, the picture is really saturated - although there's a better stream via the link on the WNBC site.

At the moment it's extended coverage from the Today Show, with Tom Brokaw presenting alongside Katie Couric and Matt Lauer.

This is how BBC World reported it...

This is how BBC 1 reported it straight from Neighbours
