September 11 attacks edit

Removed the following text:

Sully was the first Australian journalist to cover the news of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. She was live on air when the news of the disaster came through and Ten's Late News was the first to broadcast the CNN footage to Australia.

This was done as my recollection was that SBS picked it up several minutes before any other station. I couldn't find any information on the topic one way or another. If someone can find a source for this then please add it back in, though I'm not entirely sure that it belongs as part of this topic. Lod 08:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • Sandra Sulla was LIVE doing the late news when the attacks happend. She was given a piece of paper from a stage hand, and she read it out stating that the Wolrd Trade Centre had been attacked, and she would bring the viewers more news when they come in. Within 2 minutes, she said that they were crossing to New York for live feedings of what was occuring.

8Sandra was the first person to break the news as se was just concluding her bulletin, SBS had finished news production earlier that night.


Re: Sept. 11 coverage: Ten sourced many video providers for its live, breaking coverage on the night of September 11 from around 10:45PM Sydney time, not only CNN. Ten was around a half-hour ahead of Nine and Seven on rolling coverage, as I recall. The attacks occurred from 10:43pm Sydney time, as I recall. I flicked to 7 and 9, and they did not have continuous coverage for a while after. Ten went all night (along with all nets), with Ron Wilson on from 6:00am, and then on until 5:00pm (18 hours coverage), then Simpsons, as far as I remember.


I was watching Sandra's new telecast that night and she reported it after the first aircraft hit, I flicked around and no other channel had any news running at that time, and from memory she went to effectively a uninterrupted live feed immediatly as a result of the second aircraft hitting. I remember watching the towers collapse on that networks live feed which went all night. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.65.35 (talk) 02:20, 4 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Brisbane State High School edit

Rather than edit-warring over whether to include the school that Sully went to, someone at some point might have searched for a source. They may have found this one, for example (p7). --Michig (talk) 13:15, 8 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Exactly. Challenging and removing such non-contentious information under an assertion of WP:BURDEN and a claim that "it might have been made up" is against the spirit of the policy and also against common sense ~ especially when so much actually potential contentious information wasn't also tagged. We can do without such selective and officious use of policies. I did do a search for this information but my search engine didn't come up with anything considered reliable. So thanks for finding and providing it. I am now in need of a strong drink. Afterwriting (talk) 14:13, 8 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
this makes me wonder why you repeatedly added an uncited claim despite you admitting above you could not find a source. Seems like WP:POINT might be the real reason. LibStar (talk)
