You're reading it here first.

History (DStv 254) is planning a special television event for September to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center in New York with a global broadcast on all of History's various regional channels on 11 September 2011 at the same time as what the attacks started.

The riveting and harrowing documentary 102 Minutes That Changed the World will be broadcast on History on Sunday 11 September at 14:46 South African time when the first plane hit the first tower, and will continue until the collapse of the second World Trace Center tower as it recounts the events of that terrible day in real time through archive footage.

102 Minutes That Changed the World incorporates unique material captured on the day, ranging from non-traditional sources, including amateur photography, video, and film; FDNY, NYPD, Port Authority and emergency dispatch radio recordings, photography and video; recorded voicemails; to surveillance camera footage and even "outtakes" from raw network television footage.
