Even now, I feel so desperately sad for the victims of this horrendous attack. I remember watching it unfold on tv. It was nearly 2pm here in the uk. My memories of this day are still so vivid. So sad. 😢😢

I was only 6 at the time but getting back from school and with limited understanding I could still understand this was an unprecedented moment in history.

Are we all going to just ignore that this reporter is a disgraced nonce ?

😢

Good. Bye old friend, it’s been brilliant thank you

God bless, my nation, America. i was just 8 in pennsylvania when 9/11 took place. I’ll never forget this tragedy and demonic act of terrorism. my thoughts are with the souls who perished and anyone else affected by this😢❤. i will always think of those lost on this day. and thank you to the people of the UK for sharing awareness on this. this not only affected america, but the entire world❤️‍🩹✊🏽

Summer 1985 , just done my O'levels and discovered Wrighty on the radio while planning my future......now I,m only 12 years off retirement Wtf😮

Not to be that guy but 12:30 I've been pretty supportive of Palestine during the war they're in but for them to be celebrating the deaths of Americans in 2001 while pleading for help in 2024 is hypocritical

Real characters are a gift, and much rarer these days. No "muckin about", just "straight to the point" ( or "straight t't point). Hard and clear, but warm and determined to let nobody simply fall by the wayside. 1950s Salford was my home. I miss it greatly. But you leave places in space. And they disappear in time. You can't go back in time. At least not outside your own head. 't

I was in Waltham forest magistrates court in a cell waiting to go to pentonville prison when this was happening 🙏🙏🙏

I used to live this in the car every Sunday Thank you Charlie

I could tell you the real story of "Mornington Crescent", but that wouid spoil the fun for many people.

What happened to Huw Edwards?

I don't know how and why people living in the East could celebrate the attacks on the United States ? Even today, nearly 23 years later, a lot of questions still remain unanswered... 😢😔

One of the moments you knew exactly where you were and what you were doing when you heard this news.

"what on earth are you" "A nonce, and I'm bonkers!"

Thanks you for putting this up

Its was the Israeli Mossad

Although its never been admitted, I gather that Morningtown Ride by The Seekers was their way of indicating that they often played an Australian Rules version - Morningtown Crescent before their concerts.

I was waiting in a que that day to get tested for genital warts and when i heard this in the background on the tv on the wall it took my mind briefly on my own situation, was definitely eye opening.

Thanks so much for posting this! I've been wanting to hear it for a good while now. (Not just b/c of the song, but b/c I love listening to the Shipping Forecast itself.)

Tel is always hilarious. That laugh!

The day the world changed forever, things would never be the same again. The age of innocence ended.

I remember where I was

I’m watching it all again, that was the last period of instability, just dreading this year’s election and more chaos.

That was such a beautiful piece of audio history, although I've heard it elsewhere a very long time ago. It left me feeling somewhat melancholy, but in these moods I always know why. #DDay80 {Must say I'm just a 61 year old, but feel so very old}.

Huw Edwards Looked the same age then as He does now, TF?

This was my generations JFK moment. On a side note, the news was SO much better 20+ years ago. No spin. Just facts with no bias

I was 6 years old when i saw this news on the tv. I was in complete shock and couldnt believe what i was witnessing. Even watching this now shocks me to the core everytime. My heart breaks for everyone who lost their lives on that day and the affect its had on their families. R.i.p to all the victims 😢

JY was never confrontational, yet always got the best answers from his guests. Intelligent broadcasting at its very best. We miss you Jim.

‘America is pounded’, gonna be honest chief, not the best way to open up this segment.

bush did 9\11

12:21 “free Palestine” right? How many Gen Z have seen these images? This is what they’re supporting. Islamic militants. I remember.

After a while you allowed a mosque to be built in the area as a mockery of the American victims and now the Americans are protesting in the interest of their causes, rewarding them for their deeds. This shows how much Americans love their country.

I was 13 and in english class and my teacher got a tx from his wifr to say this had happend..when i got home i watched the news for hours..

Did the BBC blame it all on mental health?

My dad was in New York at the time if he wasn’t bed ridden with food poisoning he would have been in one of the towers

This is probably the most dramatic I have ever seen BBC newsreaders and rightly so. American newsreaders are twice as dramatic when talking about a cat stuck in a tree. Exceptionally good coverage of one of the worst days in human history.

Back in the weekdays when it started (for me) with COLIN BERRY / RAY MOORE / TERRY WOGAN / JIMMY YOUNG / GLORIA HUNNIFORD / ED STEWART / DAVID HAMILTON finishing up with JOHN DUNN. Sundays were my favourite with: JOHN SACHS / DESMOND CARRINGTON / BENNY GREEN / ALAN DELL / STRING SOUND / SING SOMETHING SIMPLE / SUNDAY SOAPBOX / MELODIES FOR YOU / YOUR HUNDRED BEST TUNES ..... these might not have all been on the same Sunday depending on which year but nevertheless I loved the relaxing variety

AHH ..... Happy Days 😁

*The September 11 attacks, commonly known as 9/11, were four coordinated suicide terrorist attacks carried out by the US Government and blamed on Islamic al-Qaeda*

12:17 “free palestine”

As someone born in 2002, this is crazy to see. This has been all my life has ever known

Can you imagine the restraint required to not channel all of your anger from such a monstrous attack, directly through the largest military the world has ever seen. There must have been a moment where that went through the presidents mind, regardless of proof of guilt, there would have been an overwhelming instinct to pulverise another state.

Rachael Neiman was brilliant. 👍

I used to record like this all the time. The news jingles and others. Especially the "Clash of the Titan" as Wogan had a two way with JY just before the handover. I do still have a Wogan's Winner spot somewhere. Unfortunately the tapes were packed away and stored in a place where they were stolen, in the nineties. 😭
