"What began as a local news breaker on a clear blue-sky morning in lower Manhattan soon became one of the darkest days in American history, and an hour-long streaming special that premiered in 2021, "Eyewitness to 9/11: Behind the Lens," documents the heart-pounding, moment-by-moment response of the Eyewitness News team at WABC-TV, with never-before-seen footage from that day and dozens of powerful interviews that resonate with raw emotion."
"The special takes viewers "behind the lens" of 9/11 to tell untold stories of those who were on the frontlines of newsgathering -- from field crews and newsroom staff to Eyewitness News anchors and reporters, past and present, including Bill Ritter, NJ Burkett, Sandra Bookman, Joe Torres, Nina Pineda, Lauren Glassberg, Anthony Johnson, Jim Dolan, Michelle Charlesworth, Diana Williams, Lucy Yang, Stacey Sager, Marcus Solis, John Del Giorno, Jim Hoffer, Tim Fleischer, and Jeff Rossen."
Images of September 11, 2001 remain seared into memory, and WABC-TV Eyewitness News journalists captured the attacks live from streets, aircraft, and the newsroom. An hour-long streaming special, "Eyewitness to 9/11: Behind the Lens," premiered in 2021, featuring never-before-seen footage and dozens of interviews documenting the Eyewitness News team's moment-by-moment response. Photojournalist Glenn Mayrose said that documenting the events pays tribute to those who did not survive. Reporter Nina Pineda noted that affected families carry a far greater burden than the news teams. The special is available on Hulu and ABC7NY apps across major streaming platforms.
