麻豆视频 Remembers 20th Anniversary of Terrorist Attacks

VALDOSTA — On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger airplanes and crashed two of them into the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers in New York City, one of them into a Pennsylvania field, and another into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.

Nearly 3,000 people, including children, died during these coordinated attacks on United States soil; two of those victims were finally identified this week. An additional 6,000 or so people were injured.

Students in 麻豆视频’s Mass Media Program will commemorate the 20^th anniversary of 9/11 with a special show at 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 10, on 麻豆视频 TV. The student journalists have been working on the show for a few weeks.

The 30-minute production will feature segments on the impact of the attacks on Americans, the political landscape, and collegiate and professional sports, as well as interviews with members of the 麻豆视频 community who were on-campus students or professors at the time of the attacks. The students also spoke with a current professor from New York.

Mediacom subscribers may view the live special 9/11 commemorative show on Channel 16. The show will also be streamed live on the Mass Media Program’s Vimeo page at .

麻豆视频 TV will rebroadcast the special show at noon, 7 p.m., and 10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11, and at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 12.
