It was before the Today Show had expanded to multiple hours.
It ended at 9.
The first plane hit at 8.46 a.m.
And we, Matt Lauer and I and Al Roker, I'll never forget it, were having to process what we were seeing, what was happening, trying to understand it like in real time in the most terrifying situation you can imagine.
And just like everybody who was watching us.
We had no idea what was happening.
And it was so interesting to me.
I remember having this magical thinking that, oh, it's before 9 o'clock, so a lot of people aren't in the office yet.
And I remember thinking, I talked to somebody recently about this, and they thought the same thing.
It must have been a pilot who had a heart attack or something terrible happened because that had happened at the Empire State Building like many years before that.
Something terrible had happened with a much smaller plane.
So, you know, it's so interesting how you process these things and you kind of try to rationalize them and make sense of them.
And then, of course, we were sitting there when the second plane went into the, you know, the World Trade Center.
And I remember my hand was shaking.
And I also remember Matt saying, this is an act of terrorism.
That whole day was spent, you know, just it got worse and worse.
And then the plane, you know, crashing in Shanksville and the...
It was just terrible.
And I've often said that that was a moment where I've never felt a greater sense of responsibility to viewers because they were desperate for information.
Nobody knew what was going on.
