Arney,
Don't feel that bad about trying to get news and not being able to get it on 9/11
At that time, I worked for one of the "Big 3" televsion networks in IT support for the news - aka I was about as wired into the information flow as ANYONE in the world - The news wires came RAW across my desk, I had access to ALL our video feeds, and the broadcasts of everyone
Guess what? WE were desperate for info - not rumors, but REAL info, but there was very little coming out of the ground zero area, except for what we could actually SEE, and there was a LOT of misinformation flowing - it was the same 10-20 pieces of info being repeated over and over, with video, some looped (BTW, the worst videos - which mostly were shuttled uptown on tape - were never aired, out of respect for the families, and I think out of the fact we really didn't want to be responsible for that many people throwing up at once)
