News networks will cover the 9/11 anniversary today. It's still fresh in some minds. Others have forgotten the way the day impacted almost everything.
The HORROR REPORT was around back then, too. We had a dash between our name but our theme was the same. I went to ARCHIVE.ORG to search my own archives .. instead of focusing on 9/11 I went back in history to see what I was reporting on during the day of Monday, September 10, 2001. I was 21, young and dumb, and without full time employment. I had no wife or child. Life sure was different. Amazing how 11 years changes everything. And amazing how 9/11 changed everything else.
Here was what was 'news' that day:
