Animal's Bucky Turco has talked about his 9/11 story before, and today he's also posted video to go along with it. He recalls, "it was 8:45 p.m. or so, the night of 9/11, and Diane Sawyer taps me on the shoulder. I’m standing in front of Pace University, and I guess she saw the shitty camcorder I’m holding. Diane asks me to join her film crew; there’s evidently a 'media blackout' around Ground Zero, and they need some guerrilla camera work. They give me a paper towel roll to conceal the camera, and I tuck it under my arm and basically shoot from the hip." She tells her unofficial cameraman: “Do your best. I’m walking away to distract attention from you. Just keep shooting everything you can shoot.”
Just one of the many amazing "where were you when" stories from that day. And the National September 11 Memorial & Museum is looking for citizen journalism photographs and footage from the day—you can see what has been uploaded so far here.





Mmmm. Diane Sawyer in 2001. Only 57 and cougarlicious!
Good luck dreaming.
There's a reason people refer to GMA as 3 homos and a Cuomo.
Side note- I find it funny this is just coming out now...almost as if to coincide with her being named anchor of World News.
I was present at 9/11 and I'm pretty sick of people flogging it around. Maybe the rest of you enjoy it, but I was ready to let it go long before 9/12 arrived.
"Never forget"? I wish I could.
But, gee, don't let me interfere with your good time.
Was she drunk?
