CNN.com to replay Sept. 11 coverage online

CNN.com is going to replay CNN's coverage from Sept. 11, 2001, online for free.

PRESS RELEASE

For the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, CNN Pipeline will replay CNN’s coverage from that day in time with how it happened five years ago. Offered free on Monday, the coverage begins at 8:30 a.m. (ET), minutes before the first news reports of a plane hitting the World Trade Center in New York City.

Additionally, CNN Pipeline will feature live reports from memorial services in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. CNN.com also will offer online users unrivaled, comprehensive reports, video and audio clips and other elements to show how life in the United States changed over the past five years.

“No other network has the resources in place to allow a full-scale, unprecedented replay of its original 9/11 coverage in the same time sequence as it actually happened,” said David Payne, senior vice president and general manager of CNN.com. “With the flexibility of CNN Pipeline, we can offer that to our online users, giving them the power to choose more elements of news and information for them to best remember the anniversary.”

CNN Pipeline includes hundreds of archived video clips of CNN coverage as well as a full, on-going video stream of CNN’s coverage from Sept. 11, 2001. To be sensitive to those online users who do not wish to see the replay, CNN Pipeline requires those who want to see the footage to click on Pipe 4.

For live reports, CNN Pipeline anchor Richard Lui will report from Ground Zero. CNN Pipeline will also provide video on demand of reports filed by CNN anchors and correspondents around the globe.

CNN.com’s in-depth special section, which appears at http://www.CNN.com/September11 and launches Wednesday, Sept. 6, includes articles about how life in America changed since the terrorist attacks, a CNNRadio podcast that provides a narrative montage of events starting from the attacks to the start of war in Afghanistan, image galleries from Sept. 11 and from the war in Afghanistan and an image gallery/timeline detailing reconstruction efforts in New York City.

The special section also includes a memorial to the nearly 3,000 people who died in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania during the terrorist attacks. The September 11 memorial, which appears at http://us.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/memorial/index.html, serves as an evolving record of those who died and a place for readers to build a living memorial for them.

CNN.com continues to solicit “I-Reports,” user-generated text, images, audio and video, for possible use on-air and inclusion on CNN Exchange, a comprehensive user-generated content destination on CNN.com that features user-submitted audio, video and text and also allows users to interact directly with the site’s news reports, commentaries and polls. Viewers can submit material through a “Send Your I-Report” link at CNN.com or by e-mail at ireport@cnn.com.

CNN.com also includes the companion interactive site to the latest CNN Presents documentary, In the Footsteps of bin Laden. Reported by CNN’s chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour, this unprecedented oral history about the most notorious terrorist of modern times features 21 first-person accounts from the people who knew Osama bin Laden best.

The site, located at www.CNN.com/binladen, features numerous interactive elements that delve into the history and mystery of Osama bin Laden, peek behind the scenes of In the Footsteps of bin Laden and provide opportunities for users to view video and images and to submit feedback, I-Reports and other content.
