September 11th Video Archive
The Sphere, originally uploaded by plemeljr
Interesting article about immediate media reaction to September 11th which mentions an archive of all networks reaction that morning located at some org called The Television Archive (televisionarchive.org).
The problem is that the link provided does not work and forwards you to the Internet Archive. The closest thing I could find on the Archive was a 9/11 Chronology - Source Material (2004) and Historical/Research 9-11 video, 68 min, unedited (2001). Both of these files seem to be digitized from VHS tapes and (ehem) are not the videos you are looking for.
I am sure that this archive exists somewhere, but it is quite hard to find where to contact Mr. Paul Iorio to follow up on the location of this archive. Hopefully a dispatched email will point us in the right direction.

The Newseum had an exhibit like this, where they aired synchronized video from several domestic and international broadcasters on multiple monitors -- it was about a 15- or 20-minute video loop that had a little from before the planes hit, the first and second collisions, and the towers collapsing. It was riveting, and I think I watched it three times in a row. I'm not sure if the exhibit was temporary or permanent -- I believe I saw it in November or early December 2001.

This is the permanent home of September 11th Video Archive. I wrote this post at 13:02 on January 3, 2006. This post is part of grubbykid.com, a weblog. If you liked this entry, why don't you read some other posts such as Happy Holidays! or First Goatse? Or you could go to the site archives or return home. All are good choices.
