9/11: Incredible On-Air Phone Call Between Newsreader and Husband Captures Collapse of Second Tower

On 11 September 2001, an incredible on-air phone call between ITN's Kirsty Young and her husband Nick Jones captured the terrifying moment the second tower of the World Trade Center collapsed. Young was presenting ITV's live news coverage as events unfolded in New York and Washington DC when she spoke, live on-air, to her husband who was in New York on a business trip. Jones was recounting his morning and describing his view from the 12th floor of a building in Lower Manhattan when the second tower fell. Maintaining an astonishing level of professional focus, Kirsty Young listened to her husband's voice while looking at live pictures of the devastation being wrought on New York. Reflecting the uncertainty, fear, and chaos unleashed by that morning's terror attacks, Jones told Young "I don't know when I'll be coming home." In a tone as restrained as it was reassuring, Young told him to "take very good care of yourself," adding "I'll speak to you later – off-air." #911 #WorldTradeCenter #WTC #AlQaeda #NewYork #September11 #GroundZero #NewYork #NewYorkCity #NYC #USA #Terrorism #Terror To search the ITN Archive collection on Getty Images, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/footage... 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest ITN Archive videos!) -    / @itnarchive   🎥 Follow us on Twitter -   / itnarchive   🎥 Like us on Facebook -   / itnarchiveitnp   🎥 Check out our TikTok -   / itnarchive1955
