Synopsis by Andrea LeVasseur

Compiled from a two-part series of specials broadcast on CNN, the documentary CNN Tribute: America Remembers - The Events of September 11 recalls the events of that day in history. Starting in the morning when the first passenger jet crashed into the World Trade Center, the journalists at CNN supplied constant coverage of the destructive events of the day as well as the aftermath. While offering in-depth coverage of the crash in New York City, CNN also covers the simultaneous attacks in Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. The program also includes never-before-seen newsroom footage, coverage of the anthrax attacks, and information about Operation Enduring Freedom. Many CNN journalists provide their own take on things, including Larry King, Paula Zahn, Wolf Blitzer, and Judy Woodruff.
