Episode Two – The 9/11 Chronology No narration. No interviews. No hindsight. Just the footage, audio, and reports that captured 9/11 as it happened. Episode Two begins at 8:49 AM on September 11, 2001 — minutes after the first plane impact. Over the next 12 minutes, two more planes go silent, emergency calls stream into the FDNY, breaking news of an 'accident' on TV and Radio Stations as broadcasters and the public struggle to work out what happened.
