CNN.com to Replay 9/11 Attacks Coverage

[Real World]

This is surprising. CNN is probably the most lefty of the cable media outlets, yet, they are going to show live 9/11 coverage as it happened 5 years ago. Seems strange as this would, to me anyway, serve to help the GOP.

NEW YORK

CNN will mark the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks by replaying on the Internet the cable network's coverage of that day's events.
Viewers can watch how events unfolded starting at 8:30 a.m., minutes before the first reports of an airplane hitting the World Trade Center. The feed will run in real time, as the network showed it five years ago, until midnight.

For the day, CNN will make its online video service, CNN Pipeline, available for free. Normally, viewers pay $2.95 a month or $24.95 a year for four separate video feeds.

Online viewers will be able to watch live reports of memorial services through one of the feeds. So that viewers won't accidentally stumble upon graphic footage from 2001, the replay feed will be covered with a notice instructing users to click only if they want to watch.

"Our users may choose to view the stream of coverage from Sept. 11, or live coverage of memorial services at Ground Zero, or they may click through the numerous interactive elements on the site," said David Payne, senior vice president and general manager of CNN.com. "They have the power to determine the best way for them to remember the anniversary."

CNN is a unit of Time Warner Inc.

Sounds fishy to me, CNN is the last place that I would expect to see 9/11 photo's.
It is well known that the Left Wing Liberal Big Shots don't like this kind of thing (it makes Americans MAD) and if the people get mad they might support the Hated Bush.

I wonder if they will edit out (censor) the shots of people plunging to their deaths from the Towers?

Thats the big thing the Uncle Teddy Gang doesn't want you watching.

Auntie Pelosi has a picture of the "Muslim Murderer" with ladies underwear hanging off his head on her Piano, she says "she never wants to forget"

You are allways claiming this and that about liberal media or liberal space programs, if there is a liberal connection in your mind it's junk

You have been railing for how long now? that the liberal media refuses to show 911 images and instead focuses only on the poor smelly muslim rats.

And now that YOU have witnessed this ONLY once in the history of liberal media showing images of 911 and not those smelly muslims you smell something fishy? Probably it's the 10lb cod rotting in your azz

I watch history channel, military channel, pbs, cnn, fox, msnbc and c-span, read the wall st journal the ny times and the boston globe for my news and more sources on the net..Since 911 I have watched parts of these images on all these sources of news including ''THE EVIL LIBERAL MEDIA'' right up till this day.....You need to focus on more reality and less bullsh--....
Even the hated CBS has many a show centered on 911 and those that lived it and were affected by it, fireman, families, police and rudy and more..

Go back to hating everything that is liberal related and spew your venom, your a great NEO-CON who is well versed in the mantra...

And throw that fish away for christsakes harryboy

To me, this type of coverage seems more like a voyeuristic thrill than something solemn. Wouldn't it be better to have coverage about how those families who lost a loved one have done since the tragedy or perhaps brief biographies of some of those who died. You righties seem to get an unnatural thrill over death, and believe showing the tragedy will remind people of why you thought it was a good idea to kill 2500 more Americans in an unrelated war. I fail to see why you are happy CNN will show the events again. Does it have something to do with your political objectives? If so, then why not show the funerals of soldiers and the loss of lives in Iraq?

That's exactly what it is. I missed the morning to mid afternoon coverage because at the time I was still in the eighth grade ( ) and I had football practice afterwards. Well here like a year ago, there were a few weeks that I became fascinated with 9/11 and particularly the live TV/radio coverage of the attacks. I downloaded as many of the 9/11 broadcasts as I could find. All in all, I listened to about two hours of Howard Stern, a little bit of Imus, and watched Peter Jennings and the ABC coverage. By far the most chilling was listening to Flight 11 (the first plane) flight attendent Betty Ong calling American Airlines control, talking about people be stabbed and how worried she was. The call abruptly ended. :sad:

It is good to reflect on what our enemies have don and want to do to us.

Saying peple are thrilled by death? What proof do you have for that. That is a despiciable. I lost friends and co workers there. How dare you say that.

What a bizarre interpetation. Naturally, I was referring to the fact that some people are happy by the prospect of this tragedy being replayed. After all, that's what the thread was talking about, not about the tragedy itself. It's frankly idiotic to think that any of us are happy about the deaths.

I still don't see why you're so happy that this is being shown again. There are much more profound ways to remember the tragedy. To watch it is simply voyeurism. For me, the images are burned into my memory. I certainly don't need to see them again. If that's not the case with you righties, perhaps you're lucky.

Well said Patters...makes no sense to me.

Above all the thought of the rescue personel running into those buildings to die is most haunting to me. I know that sounds unequal...like some lives are worth more than others....but that's not the case.

The people who ran into those buildings without hesitation were not initially a part of that tragedy...very sad they ran to their deaths to save the lives of others...I see no need to see that again....the day it happened is more powerfull than any replay could possibly be.

I hurt my back that morning putting my shoes on. Pinched a nerve in the lowest 2 disks. I could barley move for 3-4 days. I watched that scenario unfold and my pain abated....I felt guilty even saying my back hurt.

No movie or show could reproduce the emotions of that day & week...so I'd rather not watch because I don't want to remember it any other way than the horrific way I viewed it the 1st time....and I certainly don't want to see finger pointing because of it.
