mine as well. and we all remember where we were when the planes hit. I lived in Long Beach in NY. Day off from work, watching the news while ironing. Shut the iron off and hopped on my bicycle to the Long Beach bridge and just stared at the buildings as everyone else did. Traffic stopped. My husband worked for LILCO or Keyspan at the time. He was on lockdown at work in Island Park. I couldn't talk to him for 2 days and that was nothing compared to those who would never see or talk to their loved ones ever again.

When Kelly pauses mid sentence, and says… “it looks like both buildings” Hearing the audience reaction and the man mentioning that a second plane hit the tower, brought this sudden sadness, and urge to cry. Even after all these years, all the things said about that day, from all angles, it’s still extremely difficult to fully take in.

[@crazedracer1867]

It pains me the real perpetrators got away with it (the deep state), then popped their cronie Osama on his deathbed after letting him live-out his life under protection until the end. Bush wasn't surprised. WATCH THE VIDEO OF BUSH IN THE FLORIDA CLASSROOM WHEN HE WAS TOLD! Anyone who can "read people" can see that he is SCARED TO DEATH THAT HE WON'T BE ABLE TO PULL IT OFF, but he did. Instead of being executed for treason, they made $$ BILLIONS $$ over the next 20 years on the warS they planned. It took this "mass murder event" (9/11) to get the funding. Let me repeat: 9/11 = $$ BILLIONS $$ of dollars for the deep state. Our HUGE amount of tax dollars make us a target for those who are willing to kill to get it. We would be safer if we cut our taxes by 75%. The deep state is "working" the Ukraine war now as planned.

[@ronald-xs7sp]

I was in that audience.

[@isrulius]

I think more than anything the fear and confusion seen in Kelly’s eyes after hearing it was a second plane personifies exactly what we all felt that day. There is just no way to properly put into words to the generations born after 9/11 how that day changed everything. We lived in a different world before the morning of the 11th, and we all watched live as that world of innocence and naïveté was stolen from us. It ushered us into a world of terror alerts, endless war in the middle east, and constant fear and paranoia. We’ve experienced tragedy after tragedy since then, with the almost regular mass gun violence, but none of those events hold a candle to the morning of September 11, 2001. Nothing since then has put the entire world on halt, and had such a broad reaching effect on our psyche and geopolitics. Never forget.

[@peterlois1086]

that is something that is lost on us all these years later. It was a very confusing morning, i remember i got to work minutes after the 2nd plane had hit and the reality started to set in for us about what was going on and then later hearing the pentagon was hit and then the plane crashing in Pennsylvania, and the reports of other planes possibly heading towards NY and DC. i remember thinking this was it, this was the end of the US. You just didnt know what to expect next.

It was chaos @ my office in NJ. I was the receptionist for my company & was fielding calls bc our sales ppl were always in NY for meetings.

Its okay to wonder and feel all the thing. I still remember when the second happened, everyone in the city was working and all of a sudden it was like someone turned on the faucet and didn't turn it off. In any disaster you have to stay calm. If they panicked, so would everyone else. If someone panicked in the audience, everyone else would too. Live television or not.

[@-441-]

@@bob2233445 To some, yes it can be interpreted like that. However with his age and experience, I believe it was necessary to "direct" so to speak to help move the audience along a path. Sometimes when there's a negative experience taking place some people can get lost in the emotion so they stay stuck in a sense, and having him take lead to help move or conduct the audience imo was necessary up until he realized there was no avoiding what was taking place. Hence his "this is going to turn into one of those episodes" comments. I don't believe his intention was to sweep it, but just to keep even the tv audience and airwaves updated before everyone got trapped in their emotion.

Kelly was terrified, I remember watching this live at 6am in CA when I was 6 because my family just got satellite TV so I was able to watch live broadcasts from the east coast, I remember seeing Kelly look unsettled, like she wanted to leave or stop the show, at that age I didn't understand a plane hitting the towers was a huge deal I just thought it was an accident and they'd put out the fire, I switched to Good Morning Sacramento and they were coving the story also and had live feed from NY, I remember watching as the 2nd plane hit... even at 6 I then understood something bad was actually happening because the anchors started yelling and crying, one of them said something like "Oh My God, NY is under attack, someone is attacking Us" and I got scared so went and woke up my mom and step dad by saying "People are blowing up our buildings with planes on the news" My dad jumped out of bed and ran to the TV in the living room and my mom had me get into bed with her still half asleep, then my dad yelled "Sheri They're fucking attacking NY City", my mom got up we watched until they fell... my grandmother and grandfather came over crying and started hugging me... I was terrified... I thought they were going to try this in all cities, like I really felt fear for the first time, I thought another country was trying to kill us all. As long as I live I will never forget that day, still the most helpless and scared I've ever felt in my life.

[@cosette999]

I was 24 and pregnant with my youngest. I had just walked into the office a couple minutes before 8am and one of the customer service reps shouted that a plane had just hit one of the Twin Towers. My initial reaction was to laugh because I assumed some moron in a prop plane hadn’t been paying attention and crash into the tower. The entire office spent the whole day glued to the tv. Our main office was out of New Jersey and the top 3 executives for the Minnesota office just happened to be out in New Jersey that day. I remember going for a walk at lunch and noticing how quiet it was. The office wasn’t that far from the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. For the first time in my life there wasn’t a single plane in the sky.

[@lisareitzes6598]

I was an intern at Live with Regis and Kelly and I was there when it was happening! I remember Joan Rivers was there as a guest. But since the show started at 9am and the WTC was hit about 15 minutes before, the show ended about as soon as it began because news coverage took over. We had to get the audience out of the building (no one knew at that point what was happening). Then the staff at Live kept us all there for hours until they felt we were safe enough to leave. A day I will never forget!

[@dougdrazga4461]

A coworker and I had been sent to a local sandwich shop to see what was happening - forget cell service or internet. We saw the second plane hit, and people inThe Picnic Basket cried, cursed, prayed. I remember saying “that’s deliberate, we’re at war.” We went back and told everyone, and management sent everyone home because our network locked out external traffic in case a cyber attack was going to follow. I remember just calling my family, going to church and just sitting there. Father Byron came to the church and we had a Mass for the Dead. They had been saying there might have been 20-40,000 people lost. We didn’t know if the next thing was the Sears Tower, Congress, the White House. Talked later with a guy who worked at Arlington National Cemetery. They evacuated the staff of the Pentagon through Arlington, and he said when he turned and saw hundreds of military coming up the hill out of the smoke and haze from the attack there, he had a second where he thought the dead were rising and it was the end of time.

Probably both, to be honest.

If you look in Kelly’s eyes after realizing it was a second plane, that really puts into perspective how we all felt that day; utter fear and confusion. Total helplessness at a situation that we just wanted to end but wouldn’t. It was a scary time to be alive, I was only 13.

​@@melanieshaw3210Same with CBS. Their national morning news show was getting ready to end just before 9AM Eastern, as usual, only for the entire crew to stick around and break the news. I was at work, helping get our restaurant ready for the day when someone brought in a radio tuned to 87.7FM, which correlated to TV-6, the CBS channel in our area and said that Dan Rather was on the air reporting on what was happening. My father picked me up early from work that day and drove me the 2-3 minutes back home. Nobody knew if other cities might be next. Then of course that day also saw the tragic crashes that also occurred in a field in Pennsylvania and at The Pentagon. People talk about November 22, 1963 as the day America lost its innocence, but September 11, 2001 nearly robbed us of our freedom.

It seems likely that a number of people staffing the show and members of the audience knew people who might have been working or visiting in those buildings. They were probably very distracted trying to contact them.

It’s because at this point, the majority of coverage was still on local New York channels, so nationally syndicated shows based in NYC were seeing the local news but broadcasting nationally. Once the other local stations in the US were starting to cover the news, then the Regis and Kelly studio cleared out.

In an interview, she said Mark (her husband) had just dropped of their oldest child at nursery school within walking distance of the studio and had just walked into the studio building minutes prior to airtime, while her second child was in her dressing room with Mark. Her other kids hadn’t been born yet. But to them, they did not know what was going on, because the rumors began to spread about “they’re dropping bombs on the city” and so on, which was only exacerbated by them closing the island down. So once the show shut down, they got their oldest and walked home, but were afraid to go inside because they lived in a high rise.

My brother was set to fly out to London that day and that trip never happened. But to get out of the city, my parents stayed a few days at my brothers house for peace of mind.

I did some very, very, very, very low-level broadcasting when I was younger, and I can say that to be as coherent, as on-topic, and as gracious as Regis and Kelly were in these moments is just the very embodiment of professionalism.

It was a literal nightmare, and to have people like this at the head of our information-space was one of the few things we could lean into in those moments.

When i found out, I was in school, 16 years old. It was towards the end of science class admin was walking into classrooms telling the teachers to turn on their tvs to CNN. Both towers were hit. We watched it for a few minutes and we were shocked. Then it was time for the next class. I told some friends during passing what happened and they thought i was joking. Not everyone got the message yet. Every class we went to for the rest of the day, we watched the news. Gym class was the only class that was different. It was kind of nice. We didn't go to the locker rooms, we went straight to the gym and we could sit, we could play volleyball or whatever we wanted to relax and that's what the coaches did to. It was a nice break. The radio was all news and so was tv. Even mtv was news.

I was also 16 at the time in social studies class. We heard a plane hit one of the towers and I thought someone really screwed up. Then we heard a second plane hit the second tower and I thought “Another plane hit?” Then later a teacher burst through one of the doors and was like “they just bombed the pentagon!” and I was like WTF is going on!?!? The social studies teacher tried to continue the lessons but when she finished the video she put on she gave up and put back on the news. I naively thought that after they put out the fire maybe they could rebuild, and I swear, as soon as finished that thought, the first tower collapsed, and I’ll never forget the sinking feeling in my stomach I had watching it live.

It was all news on every channel then. I remember being pissed I was missing my Regis & Kelly because at that point the full horror of that day was still not known. I thought it was just a tiny commuter plane that accidently hit the tower and I was hoping it would go back to the talk show in a couple of minutes. When the second plane hit the other tower live on the news that's when I realized the full scope of what was happening and the talk show was the last thing on my mind after that. I haven't seen this video before and am surprised that the show did air in other places because I assumed it was cut off everywhere for news.

I remember getting home from school, my dad had come home early from work. And he was sitting there just watching the news.. All he could manage to say was "Everything just changed. Nothing will ever be the same after this" we lived in Chicago then. And my house was directly under an approach to midway airport.. So all my life I was used to planes flying overhead relatively low pretty much 24 hours a day. The most vivid memory I l will always have of that day..

As I was watching tv I saw the planes hit the towers in real time. When I saw the first one hit I, like everyone else thought it was a tragic accident, but when I saw the next plane come into view knowing it was going to purposely hit the second tower something came over me. I don’t really know how to describe it. I felt like I was in a fog. Everything I needed to do for that party left me. I just sat on my couch for hours watching the coverage and feeling like what was happening wasn’t real even though I knew it was. That night my family and I didn’t even eat dinner. None of us were hungry. We all felt sick to our stomachs. We just sat in front of the tv, crying and trying to make sense of what we were witnessing. The next day she came to us and said she decided to cancel her party because she didn’t feel right having a party when so many people were suffering.

I still mourn all those people and all those who died after with 9/11 related illnesses. Update: I want to thank all of you who have responded with your personal experience. I've read each one, and they've made me feel connected to all of you, even the one who brought up the alternative theories of who caused the attacks. No matter what or who caused this tragedy, one thing is horribly true, people died that day, and every day since, as a result of that attack. Never forget all the faceless brothers and sisters who have died. Yes, let's band together still and ask the pertinent questions. We need healing.

To announce to the big boss what had just happened, said that the longer the hosts were on air, selling wares, the more angry customers were getting, in light of what happened. We had no idea. We heard 747 on the car radio, and thought they surely were wrong. That is, until we got home and watched in horror as the scene played out o er and over, and kept getting worse.

To his credit, Regis immediately recognized it as an attack after the first plane.

It is important to post this history as it happened so people will understand. Thank you for finding it. How difficult it was to handle this tragedy for the hosts. What happened the rest of the show? Did they continue or cancel it? So sad. I think some of the audience learned it for the first time as Regis and Kelly told them.

[@ajk]

I may be wrong, but fairly sure they went to ABC News live coverage after this.....never going back to the show, can anyone confirm?

@@ajkThat would have been the logical thing to do given it was suddenly no longer an accident and an obvious attack.

[@BaseballPlayer0]

But abc was already airing live coverage, this could not have aired on any abc affiliates

@@BaseballPlayer0That was my assumption. Except for the studio audience, they were largely speaking into a vacuum. :(

It truly feels just like it was yesterday. A time and space in the mind that is captured and remains. Never Forget is easy.

Please keep this video around. I think it's very important to remember how horrific this day was for everyone across America, celebrities and normal people alike. Should never be forgotten

I have often lied awake at night wondering what Regis thought on 9/11, and now I know!!! Thank God I can sleep now!

I can’t believe it’s been 22 years….wow. It doesn’t feel that long ago.

@@LaNoturna Yeah unfortunately it is about time for another tragedy to get people united again. May only be for a few months but take what you can get I guess.

Watching this 22 years later brings tears to my eyes. Truly heartbreaking. I wonder what the show was like after this clip. What a surreal experience being in that studio sharing this horrible historic event with a group of strangers.

Wow they handled this incredibly well.

[@amandadadesky5192]

This is going to sound daft, but I want to thank you, OP, for uploading this to KZbin. With so many different places trying to hide or wipe out anything unpleasant from the history taught to our kids in school, having actual archival footage around is so important. So, thank you for preserving this.

Too bad the attack wasn't revendicated by a country, we could have turned it into another Nagasaki.

@jeffreyhinman1397 Could be, but there is no concrete proof of that. Plus, I don't think they are smart enough to coordinate sophisticated attacks like those.

Kelly's expression is just complete, heartache, bewilderment, and utter confusion really brings it all back. Because that was most people's reaction on this horrible tragic day.

Well put.

"It's just the worst thing I've ever seen in my life." It gets worse Kelly. This is haunting. I will never forget the phone call from my best friend. "Turn on the TV NOW." "Why what channel?" "EVERY channel..." Watching Kelly, the tears just came right back to me.

[@YAHaqabNatsariym2701]

She was supposed to say that so it would be ingrained into our consciousness!

[@crocodile1313]

The "every channel" statement was so true. First time I've ever seen that happen, and hopefully the last.

[@Jerseybytes2]

@@crocodile1313 I had the tv on a cartoons channel the kids had watched for a bit before going to school. when I first heard about it I thought it was a small plane, and couldn't understand why the pilot had failed to see the building in front of him. specially since it was such a clear day.

[@EffSharp]

Same. I can’t stop crying now. We thought my dad was on one of those planes for hours that morning. Turns out he had left from Hartford instead of Boston.

“Every channel”. When someone tells you that, you know the world has just changed.
