This is something that I’ve completely forgotten until now. I remember all the major news sites were down and when they came back up, there were only simple html pages. It took a while before they restored to a slimmed down version. I have a memory of a picture on a news article that I can’t forget: there were tens of ambulances one behind another on a boulevard, waiting in line to help people.


I also remember several cable channels (non-news) entirely shut off programming for a few days after.


Both broadcast transmission and network distribution were severely impacted by loss of the towers, and other disruptions to NYC.
