What happened next was incomprehensible. The news anchors on both CNN and FOX News encouraged people who worked in and around the WTC that it was business as usual. Pressing on their ear pieces and hesitating between sentences, it was as if someone was carefully choosing their words for them.
They SPECIFICALLY and repeatedly advised employees of Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley that it was going to be a BIG TRADING DAY and they were going to miss out on hefty commissions if they didn't come in to work. This was extremely peculiar.

What does a missile sound like?
To quote the guy (Correspondent Don Dahler) on the phone:
"I am about 4 or 5 blocks just north of the WTC...and about 10-15 minutes ago there was a loud sound that .....I can only describe it as it sounded like a missile...not an airplane....and there was a loud explosion and immediately lots of screaming out on the streets. I dont want to cause any speculation, but that's the only way I can describe the sound...and it was definately not the sound of a prop plane or anything like that....I have a pilot's license and I grew up on miltary bases, so I know what jets sound like...and I've been in war zones and heard those kinds of different sounds."
He does go on to say that it could've been a jet or a missile, but definately not a prop plane.
My apologies, I must have missed it. They were telling employees of those two firms to go in as it was going to be a busy day and not too miss out on their commissions?

Whooossssshhhh!!! But that's just a guess
It is like when a firefighter says he heard a bomb and that is then latched onto before researching said firefighter to see if has any experience, in the military for example, to see if he actually knows the difference between a bomb and another kind of explosion.
Does the ABC guy know what "something LIKE a missile" flying past sounds like? He isn't actually saying it sounded just like a missile remember but let's be sure here. What is his background? Has he been around missiles at all? Research, research, research

Now I'm uncertain that you remember the events clearly on 9/11, because you completely just misstated what Don Dahler said. He said he DIDN'T have a pilot's license, but he grew up on military bases.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.
The chances of anyone having this on TIVO, DVR, or VHS are very slim for a few reasons. I imagine hordes of people recorded the broadcast of 9/11

That just seems very out of character for any news report. Broadcasting on national news to a relatively very tiny percentage of the population.
