Remembering Peter Jennings

[@alexcentury2166]

Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, and Dan Rather. An era in news that will never be beaten.

[@Tubes12AX7k]

And we're feeling the effects of that loss every day....

[@chrisstory563]

I consider those guys the big three.

[@sjcea0512]

The day I learned Peter Jennings had died from lung cancer is the very same day I stood up , crumpled up a new pack of cigarettes and never smoked again !! fast forward to 2011 , I had a heart attack !! to this day I swear if I did not quit smoking when I did I would never have survived this heart attack ! thank you Peter Jennings for opening my eyes and saving my life!!! Rest in peace!!

[@chrisstory563]

Kudo despite having a serious close call with a heart attack. you made the wise choice.

[@nyujun]

I am grateful to Peter Jennings, who reported my work in March 2003. His unforgettable voice and gentle style live on...

[@timpark1]

My favorite TV news anchor. I miss your soothing voice. You were sharp and great anchor. God bless you GOAT!!!

[@RichelleBremner]

I may not be American (I am a New Zealander) but I will never forget Peter especially when he did a special with young people and their views on the first Gulf War. He was fantastic and I used to look out for him on television here whenever there was news from America. He was a natural and national treasure to the United States. 🇺🇸 A wonderful journalist.

[@chesterbenjaminlane826]

Peter Jennings will be greatly missed forever by us as fans of his and I grew up with him since the 1980's when I was kid in the 1980's but I loved how much he was missed by all his friends who worked at ABC throughout the years

[@Tubes12AX7k]

Peter Jennings was the very, very, very best journalist. I think News as an industry nearly ended when Mr. Jennings passed away.

[@BlessedbtheRock]

Seriously I agree with you

[@be6322]

Grew up eating dinner every night as a kid with Peter on the TV addressing the news. They don’t make em like that anymore.

[@computersagain]

He inspired me to study journalism.

[@findandcollect]

Good for you!

[@hollypietrzak5214]

I enjoyed watching this guy as a kid!!!!

[@rr7firefly]

A few weeks after Peter's death I received a letter from his widow, Kayce Freed. It surprised me that she took the time to write. But I'd written a letter to Peter after he announced on television that he had lung cancer. She mentioned this and told me that Peter was deeply moved by the many letters he received from people across the country thanking him for his great work and wishing him well with his health. That letter still is one of my prized possessions.

[@lildee2773]

Peter Jennings will always be our icon no matter what R.I.P. Peter Jennings

[@gerod187]

Lil' Dee He Died The Same Year My Mom Died And By Cancer Too His Death Was A Shock One I've Not Felt In A Long Time RIP Peter Jennings

[@lildee2773]

I'm sorry for your loss.

[@BlessedbtheRock]

I love this man.....Peter Jennings. I grew up watching him and felt like i knew him. I miss him. One of the best news anchor ive ever listened to. News seemed to be truthful during his time. He will be forever missed.❤

[@michellemanning7229]

I grew up on Mr. Peter Jennings, continue to rest in peace.

[@jc6594]

Today Commemorates Peter Jennings' 80th Birthday

[@BillyM82094]

with the legacy of Peter Jennings, Peter deserves to be person of the week

[@Tubes12AX7k]

He would be the person of the week every week...

[@PuffleFuzz]

person of the millenia.

[@hienki-61-d48]

Peter Jennings and Walter Cronkite. Damn! Where do you find real men like that anymore!

[@BetheasByteReloaded]

In a sense, for this broadcast, Peter was named Person of the Week. His impact is long-lasting. Thank you Peter.

[@madelinehayes-jk9xl]

PHENOMENAL

[@Jay-vr9ir]

Peter Jennings and John Roberts 2 great broadcasters and Canadian ,icons.

[@chesterlane3032]

Peter Jennings will be remembered for along time and he was one of those people who loved him dearly

[@antoniotovio5016]

Thank you Peter Jennings, 20 years today/tonight ago you kept it real and honest. Respect.

[@c5d53g2e]

Peter Jennings, while Canadian, was an American icon.

[@LuisMorales-xm6wc]

Peter Jennings ...a real journalist!

[@lindaariza48]

HE WAS THE BEST....A TRUE LEGEND 🙌

[@janherrmann3320]

always remembered..

[@RichelleBremner]

Jan Herrmann And never forgotten. I am from New Zealand and he covered the first Gulf war stories and spoke to the young people (about my age at the time) about what this war was all about. I became a fan of his after that.

[@shannon5887]

Very best. Journalism above others.

[@TheLocalLt]

His legacy certainly doesn't continue with ABC. It continued for a few years with Gibson (who really didn't want to do it but took over to honor the memory of his good friend), but died when Gibson retired at the end of 2009. Jennings' legacy continues in the journalism industry, but not at ABC. The current ABC News should not be able to claim Jennings and Gibson as their own; Jennings would be appalled at how they tore down everything he spent 30 years building.

[@Chris.3791]

I miss Peter Jennings. The legitimacy of ABC News, unfortunately, died with him. Requiescat In Pace, Peter.

[@trevorpanno516]

Nice way to keep the Peter Jennings memory alive.

[@GorlicBreadz]

I mourned his death as a child. I looked up to him. A real journalist in the ABC world... RIP ABC

[@dabdude5381]

There is no other person then peter Jennings

[@nikBEST88]

Pranam Sir Peter Jennings🙏 ❤😢

[@hikmahking5351]

I'm Peter Jennings and from all of us at ABC news, goodnight. 😊 I was a little girl and I'd answer, Goodnight Peter. ❤😂 He was awesome.

[@08roach]

Remembering you here on May 30, 2019

[@DeAngeloStevens]

Growing Up Watching ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings as a Child.

[@ederrick987]

It will forever remain in my mind as Peter Jennings was the face and voice I and my peers saw and heard on tv as the news broke that the Twins towers had been attack on September 11th. We were watching in horror from Southern California.Jennings was a true journalist, never once did I get the impression he was trying to convince me one way or the other, he just reported the facts of the news and allow me as a viewer to make my conclusions. Today, lard have mercy. You can't even watch late-night tv anymore to relax and laugh without being peppered with fascist liberalism.

[@CelticSongbird9642]

Peter Jennings never truly died.

[@alanstrong3295]

Peter was legendary. He took over so smoothly for the late Frank Reynolds. Now Peter is long gone.

[@AnonymousBlackGirl]

I can’t believe he’s been gone that long.

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

One of the last ABC OGs. Godspeed, Peter.

[@ritapitaritapita7656]

Miss this guy Mr. Jennings

[@finchborat]

Today's the 15th anniversary of his death. RIP Peter Jennings.

[@notnelc8quil863]

Peter Tom and Dan, when all news are REAL!!!

[@PuffleFuzz]

i remember when they switched to Charlie Gibson, then to Diane Sawyer, and now to David Muir. I just watched Jennings' documentary on MDMA this morning. I thought he died in 2003. RIP Mr. Jennings

[@timpatz1994]

maybe i was naive. or maybe uniformed. but i liked and trusted Peter.

[@DeAngeloStevens]

This was after Lincoln Loud, Clyde McBride, Girl Jordan, Stella Zhau, Ronnie Anne Santiago, and my cousin Amarion Franklin Stevens' birth in 2005.

[@genXcripple]

i still miss mr. jennings. glad he doesn’t have to witness what pathetic bullshit reality turned into though 🙏

[@Simplegirltv]

The best that done it

[@niranjkumar8317]

Thinking about it...he and my paternal grandmother are just a year apart! However, my grandmother died 4 years after Jennings, and she had parkinsons long before Jennings had his cancer.

[@finchborat]

He was born two days before my grandfather's 10th birthday. My grandfather died from pancreatic cancer in February 1985.

[@rajeshkhan3167]

I need to quit smoking 😭 i knew i had a problem when i started buying by the cartons.

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

No one can quit smoking for you , you have to do it for yourself. You have to find a great reason to quit and a reason to live without an addiction.

[@alyssamoconnor]

What special is that at the 0:30 mark and before Daniel's closing remarks? Would like to watch this Peter Jennings retrospective.

[@NightwingReborn]

He sounds a lot like Harrison Ford in his younger years.

[@luvsilly60]

I didn’t realize he died

[@samsticka]

When Peter announced he had lung cancer, he said he started smoking again over 9/11 because he became emotionally weak.

[@randymartinez642]

Peter Jennings would still be doing the news right now if he would have stopped smoking

[@phillipsmom6252]

Hush up........

[@randymartinez642]

I love Peter Jennings I used to watch him every evening 5:30 he was a legend

[@finchborat]

randy martinez I'm not so sure. To me, had he not passed away, he would've stayed on for another 4-5 yrs and left around the time Charlie Gibson stepped down.

[@randymartinez642]

he died in 2005 I used to watch him when I was a little kid from 2000 no I'm 23 years old now he died when I was 14 years old

[@randymartinez642]

He be missed by the whole world

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

Such a smart guy but he wasn’t smart enough quit smoking.
