Very interesting that Regis knew what was happening IMMEDIATELY. He was an old-school guy, he knew what was up.

I watched yesterday that it was Regis that got her through that broadcast. She was completely traumatized and wide eyed and I thought any second she would burst out crying. She was so young and you could see fear in her eyes. Regis was visibly upset but in control.

What a nice, decent, normal, honest, sincere person. It was riveting for me to hear all 12+ minutes of what she had to say. Thank you, Kelly. I'm viewing this on 9/11/2023.

Anybody who thinks Kelly Ripa is an airhead is totally proven wrong. She articulated so much of what I experienced that day.

I just watched the clip of Kelly and Regis on 9/11. The look of horror on her face embodied what everyone felt in the moment. I was just 5 years old but as a New Yorker it’s very ingrained in me because our parents had to come get us from school.

I had a much different 9/11 experience than most. When the events happened, I was in the operating room, assisting an orthopedic surgeon (my boss) with a bilateral total knee arthroplasty. Every so often, we would have a patient who preferred to have both knees replaced simultaneously....and the morning of 9/11 was one of those rare occasions. We were in the OR, scrubbed in and our patient had just gone under anesthesia when talk of a small plane hitting the trade center went around. It was discussed, but as a team we were focused on other matters. In the time period after the initial news, the first incision was made and the procedure was well underway.. Focused on our task, we were interrupted by the screams of staff members outside of the OR in the surrounding corridors. There was a sense of utter panic outside of the OR suite, which of course triggers a concern for one's immediate safety. In my decades of work and to this very day, it was the ONLY time panic had ever occurred in such a way. Inevitably, the door to our suite was thrown open by a circulating RN and I'll never forget her screaming, "Oh my God, Terrorists just flew a huge passenger jet into the trade center on live TV...it's horrible...people are jumping." The next interruption was a panicked, "Now they got the White House!" The wise, curmudgeonly surgeon I worked with did exactly what was needed. At the top of his lungs, he ordered HIS OR doors to be closed, sealed and ALL personnel uninvolved with the procedure were to be immediately removed. I'll never forget him saying, "By God, I don't care if it's the second coming itself. I don't care WHAT is happening, those of us in this room are NOT to be interrupted again...for anything....now get the hell out of my OR." Doc gave us a minute to collect ourselves, asked if anyone had family in NY and needed to go. Everybody agreed to proceed and we finished our 2 knees, ate sandwiches for lunch & moved onto our other surgeries. Doctor and I agreed it was best we ate lunch together & "quarantined" ourselves to the OR area as to remain focused on our duties throughout the day. Other than hearing whispers of the towers "falling down", a statement I couldn't grasp or picture in my head, the Dr. & I stayed oblivious until we took our leave of work for the day. I always had great respect for the doctor I worked side by side with and never more than I did on 9/11. I heard radio reports on the way home, but I didn't fully grasp EVERYTHING until I got home to my family & saw it for myself... For me, each event was immediate and required immediate acceptance, as did the sudden realization of an collective innocence lost. God Bless those innocent victims, the brave first responders... So much to say... We did what was best for our patients that day....any fear, curiosity or grief would have to wait. God Bless You Doc and may you rest in peace.

Really have to commend Kelly here. In an age where journalists often celebrate themselves and try to make themselves the story, she spends her time commending her colleagues for the work they did and how it helped her, while honoring those who were directly affected by the attacks. Love her humility while sharing her own story. It was a privilege to hear this side of it.

The day that changed my perspective about pretty much everything. I was there inside (subway level) when the first plane hit. I remember the sound. I remember the person next to me asking me “Oh wow what was that? A car accident?” We both wondered. See, it didn’t make sense to think it was anything else but a car. We were below street level so that’s what we imagined it was. It was the loudest bang I’ve ever heard. I lived in New York City from 1996-2005. Shortly after my 27th birthday, 9/11 happened. I lived to tell the story of that day while so many didn’t. I remember what New York City was like before this attack and what it was like for years to come. There are moments in our lives that will always be etched in our spirit. There are days we will always pause and remember. Since then, I promised myself to live with more gusto. I knew that we all have this thing called “death” lurking in the shadows and we never know when it’s our time. I miss the old NYC skyline. I miss the innocence of my early 20’s before this life experience shook me. To those that weren’t so lucky, I think of that every year on this day. I specially remember “the donut man.” Once I got out of the building, he was there yelling “that is my office!” (Repeatedly). He is alive because he went to get donuts for his office. I remember the fireman on the subway level that told me to “please get out of the building” as I hesitated because he was ruining my commute. I think about that fireman. Did he make it? This nameless person saved my life. I will always remember. 🙏🏼

She makes such a great point about the sanitization of the coverage since the tragedy. What we saw in real time isn’t really the imagery we see today.

I haave never heard someone, in the 22 years since, so acccurately describe the feeling and the gravity and the atmosphere of exactly what 9/11 felt like. I mean, she nailed every salient point and emotion here. I was taken back to that day in just listening to her, and having just watched the first 10 minutes of theit show from that day.

Regis went into professional mode immediately at that broadcast. Even before the show aired, Regis knew the plane crash was a deliberate attack. Regis relied on prior training to bring the facts only while trying to keep emotions and speculation out of it. Kelly it seems was operating from a naivete most of us had. It is so relatable. You were afraid to be inside, but afraid to be outside too. No place felt safe. Anyone born after the 90's has no idea what life was like before that day.

"my daughter who was 3 months old" "my daughter" "my daughter was 3 months old, she was with me" Honestly as a new mother - it must have been uniquely terrifying for her. i can't even imagine how vulnerable she would have felt - on live television to boot.

When Americans were breaking down and needed a dad that day, we had REGIS😭 He seriously was the ONLY PERSON on air that day…that offered humility and sincerity in such a chaotic situation. He was the father we ALL NEEDED THAT DAY. I was 5 years old, and I remember watching Regis feeling he was the ONLY PRESENCE IN ALL THAT CHAOS that offered a safe space. No adults made any sense that day I remember, but he did. And because of that I felt safe enough to sit there and strong enough as a child, to accept the situation and WANT to UNDERSTAND it. I sat frozen, yet felt present again when he kept speaking so calmly. He got the message out, brought us to present moment and feelings, and GAVE US ALL PERMISSION.

Her recount of the event is so spot-on and immaculately expressed, you can tell she's visualising the memories playing out infront of her as shes speaking

I remember how traumatized I felt that day. I can't imagine being in NYC, not being able to leave with such a young family to protect. Well done, Kelly!

“The thought that human beings can do this to one another”…has been more than a thought since time immemorial.

I was working at a Saturn dealership near New Orleans when this tragedy happened. We were all working when a page came over the speakers. It said, "All available employees to the showroom right away". We all got there just as the second plane hit. To this day, I don't recall anybody talking over the TV. I can honestly say it was one of only a very few times that I was genuinely frozen in fear for total strangers. In fact, I think everybody was frozen in fear.

Kelly is such an Elequent Speaker!!

I remember flying from Boston to NY not long after the airports opened again. It was the quietest, most tense flight I’ve ever been on.

She is absolutely correct, you didn't want to sit tight inside BUT you didn't want to be outside because of the chaos and uncertainty. It was so intense and sad and all of the horrible descriptive words.

I was 8, almost 9. I remember it vividly. My auntie is a flight attendant for American Airlines… she called out sick that day and the flight she was suppose to be on went into the North tower of the World Trade Center. Her name was released on the manifest as one of the crew members who had perished. Her phone didn’t stop for days. She miraculously had called out sick that morning!! I remember being picked up from school and being told what had happened. I didn’t understand the gravity. We went straight to her house, my mom told me my aunt had a very hard day and I needed to give her a hug. It’s the first time I ever saw adults cry like that…that’s when I started to understand what had happened was a big deal. My older cousins told me about people jumping and I cried every night to my mom about it. The thought that the conditions of what was happening in the buildings was so horrendous people chose to jump was too much for my little brain to comprehend. It upset me so much. What a tragedy. It’s crazy so much time has passed that a whole generation wasn’t alive to witness it. We must always remember and pass these stories on. 🙏

I watched the clip of the intro to that episode of _Live with Regis & Kelly_ and the look on her face as they realize on air what's happening was chilling. Kelly's eyes (and how she kept moving to the side) clearly said, "I gotta get out of here." Hearing her talk about it here so candidly really confirms the authenticity of those moments from 2001.

I still remember that day like it was yesterday. It was my first year of college and I didn’t feel like going to class that day. I asked my dad if I could stay home? And he told me I was in college now, I could do what I wanted. So I got back in bed and turned on the tv expecting to fall back asleep eventually. Little did I know id be glued to the tv in horror for hours. Such a tragic day. I’m almost 40 now and even now I get that same feeling in my stomach watching as I did that day.

Kelly has the sweetest, most genuine voice. It was mesmerizing to listen to her recount that horrible day. She's adorable, and I loved her on All My Children and Hope and Faith. She found her true calling in the talk show genre. Absolutely gorgeous, plus brains and personality. Hope she's in the business as long as Barbara Walters was.

I fully agree that the re-broadcasts got "cleaned up" as she says. Because I was on the west coast getting ready for school, riding the bus, and in a classroom where the teacher kept the tv off. So I did not see any live videos except for right in the beginning, I saw images of the first tower on fire. I saw nothing else until later that day. I can tell you, the stations were not showing the extent of the horror. It wasn't until recently that I saw how many people were in the windows, trapped, jumping. I had seen a picture here and there, like the Falling Man. But not the sheer amount of people looking out, helpless. Honestly, even though it feels dumb to say all these years later, I'm a little shook.

What a great interview. Kelly, the morning of the attacks was so emotional and shook. I knew, there would be no way that show could go on and I felt how her and Regis were struggling with what to do. We see them as stars, but they are really only humans. God bless them for doing their part in reporting this tragedy.

This brings back so many memories and feelings about 9/11. Kelly really did express the gamut of those feelings. I didn’t see the show that day but I’m sure she and Regis helped people cope. 💗

Kelly seems to have become more real to me after hearing her on this interview as she realizes that she is an entertainer but somehow needs to actually help people with the platform she is on, must have been tough.

I have been watching this entire series and I'm a little surprised at how egocentric some of the celebrities are but not Kelly Ripa. She's clearly caring, thoughtful and anything but an egomaniac. Very sweet, down to earth and clearly cares about others and about the tragedy's impact on people other than herself.

I just saw the 5 or so minutes of Live with Regis and Kelly from that morning. It was chilling watching them, and the audience, experience and realize what was happening. You should watch it.

Watching that live was living PTSD. Everything was live - even hearing the thud of humans hitting metal awning.

I saw the second plane hit the tower live from my balcony in Newark NJ where I lived ill never forget that image

Miss Regis so much! He was a class act and large than life. ❤

It's chilling to hear what she & Mark saw. That day was a horror; this video and her recounting what it was like for her is excellent and stunningly sad.😭

This is a powerful perspective, having been living, working, and raising a family in NYC. I held my 2-week-old infant as the events unfolded and thought also that it was a single-engine airplane, pilot error, or suicide. When the 2nd plane hit, our perspective was flipped so joltingly with the second plane hitting, and the immediate logical conclusion that this was an organized attack.

It was beyond belief. I remember watching when the first tower fell, the absolute horror and disbelief. Never ever did I think the towers would fall. Kelly is perfectly describing what so many of us felt.

Kelly is completely correct when she said they don’t show the original images that we saw live that day. I watch every September 11th, and it is nothing like the horrific scenes we saw happening on that day. Which is probably a good thing, because it absolutely traumatized most of us.

I like Kelly Ripa. Always have. She shows here that she is articulate and caring.

She’s a sweet soul. And so hilarious on the show. A real gem.

I watched everything happen from just after the second tower was hit. I lived in NW PA at the time, and little did my parents and I know, but while we were watching flight 93 was flying DIRECTLY overhead and in the middle of their hijacking.

I remember I was in 10th grade and they announced that a plane hit the World Trade Center. I was so oblivious to what was going on and it really wasn’t until I watched it all going on live and watching the second plane hit and then seeing people jumping out of the windows that I really started to feel the gravity of the situation. 😢. My goodness still feels like yesterday

I was in a crowd of people watching a single TV at work in a break room. I'll never forget when the second plane struck the building. Everyone made the same sound at the same moment - a groan of unspeakable horror and shock that hundreds of lives were gone in a second. Then people - including myself quietly starting sobbing and saying no, no, no, as if were some sort of collective nightmare and we could make ourselves wake up from it. But, there was no waking up. Everyone in America's life had changed. We were targets and we had been infiltrated by evil.

What a fantastic person. Loved listening to this compassionate woman describing these awful events

Every year they show these images and videos I saw live, and it still makes me sick inside and I think about all the people who had no option other than to jump from a building 80 stories to the strreet below, knowing they would never survive that fall, My God.....saying it was horrific is seriously understating it.

All of us who were old enough to remember that day also remember where we were and how we felt. Tragic day in American history. This brought me right back to that day. My thoughts and prayers are always with the families of those who were lost.

It was truly the scariest day. I was working in Toronto in the financial district and I remember being horrified but also really afraid. No one knew if they would target anywhere else. Places like the cn tower seemed like they could be a target. I was so glad to leave and get home to the suburbs. You could feel the shift of how the world felt before and after. How everyone lost a little part of their innocence and hope for humanity that day.

As horrible as that day was, the days and weeks that followed were almost beautiful. Our citizens came together like I never saw before or since. It's sad now to see how low we've fallen from that time.

Realizing she had her 3 month old there with her, as a new mom, I empathize. How terrifying that day must have been for everyone, but wondering about your son in nursery school, about your studio possibly getting bombed, afraid to even return home. Like I can't imagine how just overall horrifying that must have been from her POV. It was truly a terrible, horrific day for so many

It was my first day of kindergarten. I was dismissed before lunch. I remember the horror on the faces of every adult I saw that day.

Seeing this…reliving this through her words, just made me cry. Again.

I was a sixth grader at the time. It was picture day and my class was among the first group to go, so I went to the auditorium as instructed. The hush that came over the room when the TV turned on to show the North Tower ablaze still gives me chills. Not even ten seconds later we watched the second plane hit the South Tower. My mom scooped my brother and I up shortly thereafter. My dad was in Philly and my aunt was visiting us in Miami. Their flights were scheduled for that morning. The wave of relief that came with hugging my aunt and hearing my dad’s voice letting me know he was safe was immense, but it was followed by a sadness knowing even at that age that so many others didn’t get that same feeling because their loved ones perished in a senseless attack. To this day, I get jumpy when I hear a jet flying overhead.

I can't imagine the PTSD of everyone, thevictims, their family and friends, those who witnessed the horror, and the heroes. God bless America.

I'm from Northern Ireland and remember being in college in Belfast and going to the small shop in the college for a coffee with a classmate and on the TV there was the images of the towers on fire and we asked the assistant what the movie was and she said it was the news not a movie and when she said it was the twin towers we couldn't believe it. When we passed the news on to others we really weren't sure if we should as it was so unreal we couldn't really believe or accept it was real. Such a horrendous day for all those affected and caught up in it. 🙏

What a difference the passage of time, and the revelation of details has brought to this event in history. The raw exposure of the fragility of our world was introduced to everyone on the planet.

She describes that day so well and sincerely. It was an awful day. On Labor Day that year, my grandfather was rushed to the hospital, having suffered an abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture. By the time 9/11 came, my family had been sitting in the hospital CVRU waiting room for 9 days praying that my grandfather would pull through. On the morning of 9/11, we were all sitting in that waiting room watching the TV as all of this happened. We were going through our own very personal traumatic family experience and then we saw all this happen on TV, and I honestly felt like the world was ending. It was the most surreal, painful time. My grandfather passed away the next morning on 9/12/2001. I was 24 at the time, and I remember knowing that the world as we knew it was gone.

She effectively described the stun that affected us all when it happened, disbelief, where to go, where not to be, what the hell has happened, back and forth, incomprehensible.

It’s was a bad day for me and change my life forever because my husband was there he was a responder in my life has not been the same since I have PTSD from it I’m afraid to go into a building because I think that it’s gonna fall to go over my life. Such sad please never forget keep this in your heart forever 🥲

It was a horrific day and time in history and I never felt so helpless. Because we didn’t know what, who, why and what else. I have never forgotten it and never will. 😩😭

Wow..I was in tears listening to her 😢😥

its amazing to think about how the entire world remembers where they were, what they were doing, and how they felt on September 11th, 2001.

I was 5 years old when this happened. I was in kindergarten, and I remember them playing it on the small box tv in the corner ceiling of the room. Even at 5, it was horrific to watch. I will never forget it

I don't know who Regis is because I'm British but I've seen the footage and he was slick. Calm and professional. Old school. A man

Shes very good at explaining her expieience. Brings you right back there.

I think she really understood and expressed herself well about the events of the entire day! Well done. After listening to what she said I am beginning to understand those events and I have been wrestling with it since day one. The show on 9-11 I think she and Regis handled very well in their own ways on that show on Sept. 11 as it happened: Regis trying to remain professional and Kelly's expression of shock. She was allowed to express shock because this terrorist act was so devastating. They handled it extremely well. They deserve thanks.

I was 21, and on the west coast, seeing everything unfold as I was getting ready for work. It’s as if the entire country watching stopped and couldn’t break away from the awful images on the television. Nothing was the same after that devastating day. I remember not being able to stop crying for days from the loss of life and the trauma of it all.

She is being so authentic and naturally beautiful in this clip.

Regis brought comfort to many viewers.

Well expressed Kelly, my feelings, thoughts and memory of that horrible day😢

Kelly has such a sweet soul. I love that she truly has empathy and compassion for others.

I remember i was working at the Hollywood bowl as a green room chef, we had sold out concert that evening so me and my crew were busy in the kitchen when Hollywood bowl security started evacuating us! i remember they didn't even let us clean the kitchen we left it dirty i just remember dumping food in the walk in refrigerators and running out of that place asap!! the Drive home that morning was extremely weird and scary!! i remember driving trough downtown Los Angeles and seeing hundreds of people on the streets trying to make their way back home! it was Chaos!!! not seeing any airplanes was the weirdest part!! i live under a flight path and im so use to hearing airplanes all day everyday so that silence was absolutely frightening !!

Kelly did an excellent job of describing the feel of that day. At first it was shock, then such deep sadness. My mother and I were watching the coverage at the same time while on the phone. We had just lost my father earlier that year and were already grieving, then the immense loss of those poor souls struck our hearts like nothing we’d ever imagined. When the pentagon was hit, I vividly remember the fear and shock I felt. At 30 years old, I had never considered our country could ever be under attack on our own soil. Ignorance is bliss, as they say. I’m very glad that I wasn’t under the pressure of watching it unfold in front of a national audience like Kelly was. Not sure I could keep my composure as well as they did. I think many of us cried the whole day, as well as having our perspective forever changed. What a horrible, tragic day 😔

Bless her heart and her and her family. I love her 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🤗

My Dad's national guard unit was sent to ground zero for clean up. He came home a different person. To this day he won't talk about it.

I vividly remember where I was on 9/11 like it was yesterday. I’ll never forget it. It was one of the worst days in American history. I can’t even imagine how horrifying it must have been to be in NYC when this tragedy happened.

Wow 😮 I just watched that episode. She was so heartbroken. And Regis was on top of it. That was a sad day in America.

22 years later and still I cried like a baby yesterday, that is my hometown, I remember being 7-8 yrs old and my parents taking us to staten island when the north tower or maybe south cannot remember still had like 3 more floors to be done, and I can see the brown on top, so when they went down and I saw on TV on sept 11 2001, was just too much, but most importantly of course was I cried and did yesterday for those souls that were losing their lives--- just still so heartbreaking

Regis, KLG and Kelly came into our home every morning and became virtual friends. It must have been a bit comforting to go through these moments with them also.

Thank you for putting this up. It was one of those before/after moments that changes everything.

Thank u for sharing the view.

9/11 is my mom’s birthday. On the day of this tragedy, I called my mom to wish her a happy birthday. She immediately informed me of what had happened. With the thought of quitting my job for weeks, I decided to make quitting a reality on this day. Went home and watched the news unfold with my wife.

On that terrible day I was actually watching Regis and Kelly as I was pulling on my trainers to go for my morning run. My husband was at work, the kids were in school and I had planned to can a bushel of pears. Needless to say I didn't run that day, I didn't can anything all week, and I could not get over the idea that many families were shattered that day. I was stuck watching tv for days, in absolute shock. I had to physically prevent myself later that week from turning on the tv. What a horror it was.

I was on my first trip out of the US, walking down Khao San Road in Bangkok, Thailand. It was was early evening on day 4 of my planned 6 week trip, and suddenly everybody in sight was watching any tv they could. The broadcast was in Thai, but the video was clearly the Twin Towers. Very Surreal experience.

I flew home.on.Sept 11 2001.Took a red eye from Vegas I was one of the last flights to arrive by the time I got home I had heard about the tragedy arriving at Logan Airport. The pilot John Ogonowski is from my town I have never forgotten that day.

I remember watching this show live that morning. I’ve referred to it often when reminiscing. I was off that day, just finished washing my car and came into to eat. Turned on TV to their opening show. I think she was fairly new at the time. She gives a very accurate side of what everyone was feeling at the time. First it was a small plane then the shock everyone walking around in a daze then a very united country seeking vengeance.

I’m writing this on 9/12/23, it’s so odd out of all of the 9/11 footage I’ve digested over the years since…yesterday was the first time that I saw the footage from, “The Regis & Kelly Show”. I wish I had seen it sooner. I grew up with a grandmother that religiously watched Regis, starting when it was “Regis & Kathie Lee”. Together we’d sit together at the kitchen island, watching Regis, eating Grape Nuts, and working on word finds or crosswords. Pretty sure my grandmother started to teach me to be an, “little old lady” when I was 4 years old. I’m probably one of very few kids in the world, that actually enjoyed Grape Nuts (I still do). So in a way, I grew up with Regis. He was like a grandfatherly figure to me, or what I imagined a grandfatherly figure to be like. I cried when I heard of his death in 2020. When I watched their footage from that horrific day, he was a ever the professional journalist/ television host. He walked out holding Kelly’s hand. He remained calm and put together. Ever the grandfather, trying to protect his family. Careful not to panic anyone. He like many journalist that morning carried a heavy burden. Kelly did well to, especially with the fact that this was within her first or second year on the job. Also, now knowing that her young baby was in the studio. I don’t know how she kept it together. I definitely realized how much I missed them and their show. It’s interesting how people from a television show can become connected to a core memory. It’s them almost feel like family. ✨💜✨

I lived on North Carolina enter coastal waterfront And traveled inland 100+miles that morning to Kinston NC for a followup after eye surgery. Listening to the John boy and Billy radio show while waiting on traffic light across from the Drs office. Sounds of someone bursting into the live studio 😮 screaming and crying. We thought the studio was invaded 😮. Then they explained it and kept asking for TV go look. We rushed to Drs office and asked for the TV to be on. 😢 As we began to grasp the danger we witnessed the 2nd plane hit. In NC we have a huge military and that day and days after of silent sky's. Were strange and I will never forget where I was.

I hear it everywhere. “No one thought that way.” “We didn’t see that coming” “No one flies planes into buildings.” “Your mind doesn’t think that way.” Those terrorists did things we were not capable of imagining. They shocked us and horrified us. Made us live the rest of our days in fear of it happening again. Those terrorists won and its heart breaking. Personally, I think about it every time I step foot on a plane, every time I see one. I hate planes because of 9/11.

I lived in New Jersey at this time. It was one of the saddest things I have ever lived through. It still feels like yesterday.

I am almost 70 years old. In 2001, I was working, and someone called me to come down to watch (there were televisions in other parts of the building). I was truly devastated. We were all sent home, with assurances that all employees traveling internationally were accounted for. I was working for a company that employed a number of foreign nationals, including a man with whom I was working with on a project. Long story short - I think every single adult person living in the United States that day was impacted. 22 years later, I still cry every time I think about it. It was such a loss for all of us.

I'm in awe of your experience that day, I think everyone was in shock!

I lived three blocks away from the studio where they filmed Live With Regis And Kelly. She described that day exactly how I remember it. Literally a city of walking zombies. Trapped with the bridges and tunnels all closed. No idea what was going to be attacked next. Horrific.

I never left my radio on when I went to sleep, but my radio was on that day. I live in Colorado and it was earlier than I normally woke up, but I remember in my semi-lucid dream I registered the news of the first tower. I got up and walked into my living room just in time to watch the second plane live. I was 17 and it was the scariest thing I'd ever experienced

Total class she and Regis. God Bless the lost and their loved ones 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you Kelly

Regis said “yeah, this is really something,” when the second plane hit. The tone in his voice was so telling of what the US response was going to be.

I just watched the clip of that broadcast. Had me in tears. I was 11 when it happened and I'd just come back from school (I'm British so was on UK time) and it was being reported on every channel. I didn't quite understand the enormity of the situation at the time. Such a horrific event.

Heck of an interview. Thanks.

Her strength is enormous trying to articulate what happened without losing it. I have so much respect for anyone that went through it and for the souls that were lost that day.

I was only in 5th grade when 9/11 happened. It was an unexpected and shocking and horrific thing that would ever happened during our lifetime. Terrifying for a 10 year old to hear or see that terrible event to happen. It’s just a nightmare we can’t wake up from because it actually happened.

I just saw yesterday, the video of Regis and Kelly that morning when they came down to open the show and told everyone what was happening, really not knowing any more than anyone else, the look on her face said it all, and we all felt the same way.
