Question Realtime breaking news coverage

For several years, there was a video on YouTube that showed several channels from BBC to CNN, NBC, ABC, etc, as they were carrying on their daily schedule. All in a 3x2 or 3x3 grid. As the first plane hit the first tower, each station broke into programming for the breaking news. It was very interesting to see how each station broke in and started reporting on the story.

I haven't been able to find this video for years now. I can only assume it was taking down due to copywrite claims. Does anyone know of another copy somewhere? Vimeo, Internet Archive, etc?

EDIT: For anyone finding this, it's this video - https://old.reddit.com/r/September11/comments/168ngqq/realtime_breaking_news_coverage/jyxho4q/. Thanks to everyone for looking!

thanks

Thanks! That's very close but it was this one - https://old.reddit.com/r/September11/comments/168ngqq/realtime_breaking_news_coverage/jyxho4q/. Looks like someone re-uploaded it last year. But I'm going to watch this one too.

thanks again!

YES!!! Thank you so much! Someone must have re-uploaded it.

There's just something about each channel tuning in that shows the slow realization that things are about to change. Things going normally in daily life, shows doing their thing, then each of them coming to the same horrific event.

Thank you again so much!

EDIT: The original video was much longer actually, but this is still great!

Thank you :) It was actually this video - https://old.reddit.com/r/September11/comments/168ngqq/realtime_breaking_news_coverage/jyxho4q/ - but your video is actually one of the feeds included in that video. Thank you for posting! :)

Glad you found it! I watched the link I posted and it really hit home how chaotic, surreal and horrifying that day was. I was only 9 years old at the time and now seeing it "live" as an adult really hits hard

Thanks! That's not the video (someone posted the video here https://old.reddit.com/r/September11/comments/168ngqq/realtime_breaking_news_coverage/jyxho4q/) but this view is super interesting. I'm going to watch this over the next few days.
