From Washington: A journalist's daily routine was disrupted twenty-five years ago. He was working at the time for Reuters Television. The day started out like any other, with no indication of what was to come. A significant event occurred at 8:46 a.m. Eastern Time, when a passenger plane crashed into a major building.

Further details about this event are available from the source. The journalist has reflected on this day, which had a profound impact on him.

The president was not present, having traveled to another state for an event. The journalist and others gathered to watch the news unfold on monitors.
