News 24 had Click Online. Then at the top of the hour they added in a brief 15 second "More On this as we get it" With a Map. Then when more News broke they alternated between the death of Lord Jenkins and the hijack - getting Live Phone Calls on both. Then a cockup as we were meant to see Correspondant they started Click Online again, "Whoops! Youve already seen that. We Can now watch Correspondant". Then now into the 1700 hour with it the top story. The standard, overused, BREAKING NEWS was used.

I was watching "Clear The Skies", a documentary about September 11th, on BBC World at the time.

That sounds like a really interesting documentary - unfortunately for most of us in England we can't get BBC World, so do you know if it will be broadcasted on another BBC channel?

I think they showed it on BBC 1 a while ago, but I am not sure though. They might show it on N24 as N24 seem to show stuff seen on BBC World like Click Online, WBR etc.

If you have broadband then you can watch BBC World over the internet using your Windows Media Player.

It's 50 minutes long, so I doubt it!

Yeah, it was really interesting. It was about how the US military responded to the attacks, the movements of the President and Vice President, Dick Cheney, and how they ordered to "clear the skies" of all private aircraft. Unfortunately, I missed a bit of it with the interruption by the newsroom, and Pres didn't pause the programme!! I'll have to watch the last 20 minutes again in the next airing of it on World.

As for which channels it might be broadcast on...I'd speculate at BBC Four, as they sometimes share documentaries with BBC World, such as the current Profiles season on BBC World. Keep an eye out for it Ryan in the schedules!
