SOURCE & EDITORIAL NOTES

About this television archive

This player streams CNN and selected international recordings from the Internet Archive’s Understanding 9/11 television collection. Recordings are arranged by archive timestamps. The CNN replay starts near the first reports and continues through that evening. International channels can be selected at the same approximate historical time.

Each channel contains its available recordings, not every clip or the complete 9/11 Memorial timeline. Gaps and ordinary programming may remain, particularly in the CCTV and NTV recordings. Additional external archives are not synchronized. The original picture and sound are preserved. This is an independent viewing project, not an official CNN website.

The opening point is approximately 8:48 a.m. Eastern, calculated from the archive’s 7 a.m. recording start. Exact alignment can vary. A single timeline spans all the source recordings. The player preloads the next part and advances automatically. Transitions still depend on archive availability and connection speed.

Original broadcasts contain distressing images and unconfirmed or incorrect early reports. They are presented as historical records, not as present-day fact checking.

Source metadata notes that the material may be protected by copyright. Streaming availability does not establish permission to redistribute or commercially re-edit it. This site does not rehost the recordings.
