For those of us who work in news, It was just as hard to believe the images that unfolded on September 11, 2001. W asked members of the KSFY news team what they remember most from that day.  KSFY News Anchor, Nancy Naeve Brown recalls, "All of the reporters were saying this isn't an explosion, this is an attack. We are under an attack and I remember my heartbeat just racing." News Anchor Brian Allen says, "You thought to yourself, my God how did that happen? What just happened? It didn't initially make sense." Brian and Nancy were both working the day the towers fell. Nancy was on a shoot with a group of senior citizens and broke the news to them. She remembers, "I said I don't know if you guys have heard, but we're under attack. They think terrorists are attacking us. Two planes have gone into the World Trade Center.  And I will never forget the look of all the seniors on their faces because this was the Pearl Harbor of our time."

Brian Allen was among those scrambling to put together a late-morning special report on the day's events. He says, "Everyone tried to stay calm, because we would do the public no good if we were running around with our heads cut off." Other members of the KSFY team learned about the tragedy while still at home. KSFY Senior Meteorologist Phil Schreck says, "I just remember holding my daughter and thinking, wow, a big old jet airliner just hit the world trade center, what a horrible accident. My second reaction was this is something much bigger than that."  In the sports world, all Major League Baseball games were cancelled on September 11th. KSFY Sports Director Erik Thorstenson says, "I remember going to shoot basketball at O'Gorman and they had a moment of silence before, but it was a very light night and sports seemed very unimportant obviously on that day."

Six months after the terrorist attacks Nancy Naeve Brown visited Ground Zero. She remembers, "To us it was like it just had happened, because the smell of death and destruction was still there but yet the hope that a spirit of giving and kindness will rebuild the city and rebuild the country."
