September 11, 2001-WFAN, Pt 1 (Don Imus)

I know a lot have asked for this, so here is the first of six parts of WFAN coverage of the fateful, tragic day of September 11, 2001 starting with the breaking news during the Don Imus morning program.    Imus would stay on the air for the next several hours before handing it off to Mike Francesa (Chris Russo was presumably off that week).    WFAN benefited from having the eyewitness observations of Warner Wolf, who lived several blocks from the WTC and could report on what he was seeing.     Their chief drawback was that they still had to run commercials at various points, the only station I know of that was still doing so that day.    There are occasional dips into TV audio coverage from NBC, MSNBC (which as you will hear, Imus frequently rips) and WCBS.     Additional parts of coverage will follow over time.
