In the following minutes, the horror escalates as viewers witness United Airlines Flight 175 crashing into the South Tower live on ABC News.

The video continues with important moments, such as President George W. Bush addressing the nation from Florida, and breaking news from CBS as the Pentagon is confirmed to have been hit. Viewers are then brought into the collapse of both towers, with live coverage from NBC, street-level footage from Japan’s NHK, and emotional reports from Russia’s NTVi and Canada’s CBC Newsworld.

Throughout the afternoon, the video captures key moments, including the first footage from the Pennsylvania crash site and reports from as far as Iraq.
