Biggest news story of the day for US morning newscasts at 7AM EDT on 9/11/01 was the returning of Michael Jordan to the Washington Wizards.

While the news agenda may have been quiet in the United States leading up to the attacks, it’s to my understanding that things were considerably busier from an Australian news perspective with Ansett already in serious trouble, John Howard’s trip to Washington (which would’ve been disrupted by 9/11) and Lleyton Hewitt’s US Open win.

Can you post a YouTube link? The video doesn’t work.

The link is on archive.org not YouTube

But still, can you post a proper link?

The forum parses the link and transforms it into a video.
