Take 2: 9/11 at 25, Charlie Kirk memorial debate, governor’s national profile

And I don't know if you guys do this, but every 9-11, I watch some of the original coverage from that day just to remind myself.

And every time I cry and I'm you get wrapped back up in the emotions.

But if you look at that first 15 to 18 minutes.

Everyone just assumed it was a silly pilot in a prop plane that accidentally hit the building.

And I think it took a while for us to realize that terrorism could happen on U.S. soil.

Pearl Harbor, probably the closest thing we have to it, which was another generation.

And so it definitely is a time to reflect, to look at exactly where we've come, where we're going.

Mara, have you watched any of that coverage as well or busy with life? Well, I mean, so a lot of the coverage

this year included original coverage, right? More so than other years, I think, because this is a big anniversary.

And it is striking how when you listen to the real time, we were watching this play out in real time together.

You know, I mean, I recall I was when the first details of it, I was walking my dog, but I had on a... news station on my ears and came back.

And like many of us then stayed by the TV all day and watched this unfold in real time.

And you hear that in all the broadcasters that they are broadcasting while we're all getting data.

And the progression of that is interesting because it was this very same moment, same time.

So seldom are we where we have the exact same experience.

Yeah, we're all doing the same thing at once.

Yeah, I was at home at the time.

I was working at ABC for twenty five years ago and I was working night shifts and my daughter was nine months old and I was still asleep.

My pager went off.

That was still in the years of pagers.

And they told me to turn my TV on.

And I was awake in time to watch the second tower hit and almost immediately went into work.

And I was watching the live feeds of the video that many people didn't see for years until we live in the YouTube age where people are posting the videos.

But we were watching the people fall out of buildings.

And I just remember thinking this can't be real watching it.
