his was one of the greatest disasters in years and all u fucking people are on about is the news reporter taking so long to announce stuff in England and she's dumb yeah because i forgot u american's are so fucking intelligent ain't u
And in the case of 9/11, they did it poorly. For example, when the second plane hit, it took the reporters there at least 10-15 minutes to even NOTICE that gee, a second plane has hit!
Also, if they report "facts, not opinions," then why did they immediately assume that 2 planes hitting 2 towers was an accident. That's every bit as much a conclusion drawn from an opinion as the assumption that it's from a terrorist attack is.
at the beginning the reporter is trying to sound all calm and cool while they show scenes of people screaming, panicking, hiding behind cars, etc. ...
It's pronounced, "Pent-a-gahn," not Penta-g'n, We actually pronouce that last "o," we don't cut it off into "g'n." I'm sorry but it's driving me nuts.
Like I said before, the reports from the US news agencies (two of which were right there in New York City and one in Washington amongst the chaos) were more spot on than the BBC. Anyone seen any reports from other parts of the world?
then why did they immediately assume that 2 planes hitting 2 towers was an accident. That's every bit as much a rash conclusion as the assumption that it's from a terrorist attack is.
I hope the News Anchor got fired after this. OUR news Anchors were spot on. This autrocious act by the Terrorists will never be forgiven. We Americans will fight til' the Death. Death to the Terrorists & to Terrorism! The USA wil be victorious and will not stop until Bin Laden is hanging by his neck on the Flag Pole of the White House!!
@GuatemalanKid17 You must understand that the british have a different national characteristic and the BBC are very much old-school - the brits believe in stiff-under lip, being cool under pressure and in a crisis etc. They also are neutral and report fact, not emotion.

The BBC footage is all screwed up. Anyone notice that at 9:08 when the man is talking to the reporter that the 2nd tower is STILL standing?

Considering their limited resources in NYC, as well as the desk reporter is in LONDON might have caused her "idiocy".
Wake up.

This anchor is dumb or something. She says "well atleast one plane has been hijacked...but were not sure about the other two".
