John Morrison hears Murdo Morrison's account of being in New York during the terror attacks on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre on 11 September 2001. Murdo narrowly avoided being in the towers when the first plane struck. Two planes were also brought down in Virginia and Pennsylvania and, in total, almost 3,000 people died.
Murdo recounts how he and his wife went sightseeing to the top of one of the towers the day before the attacks to take some photographs. Because the weather conditions were overcast, he decided he would return the following morning in the hope of clearer views. As it happened, the first plane struck the Twin Towers before Murdo set out.
