Here's a better video of CNN's coverage during 9/11 itself:

The first one I linked had the first hour or so, but then started looping some of the coverage it already had. It never switched over to Aaron Rogers or got to the initial WTC collapse.
This is just coming in: there appears to be a major fire on the upper floors of one of the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.
Reports claim that a small plane, either a Cessna or a private jet, accidentally flew into the tower around the 80th floor, due to either an air traffic control communications error or a malfunction on the aircraft.
The dozens of victims are in our thoughts. We will continue to monitor rescue and repair surrounding this alarming accident.

4) Or add /quotes to the end of the tweet's URL, e.g.

This is an interesting attempt to recreate something similar to what the original musical performance of The Odyssey would have sounded like:

Lindsey Graham, 2002: “I’m not married so my gameplan is—20 years from now—go to the Miss South Carolina pageant and pick out the winner.”
Community note
Graham’s 2002 remark was a joke referencing his predecessor Strom Thurmond’s marriages. In the full quote, Graham said, "If I do the Strom Thurmond thing... I’ll go to the Miss South Carolina pageant in 20 years and pick out the winner." washingtontimes.com/news/2003/jan/
Evidently the woman pictured in this famous poster is not the film's star, Camille Keaton, but young Demi Moore before she became famous. (The poster was done in 1982 when Moore was about 20.)
