AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, TAPE 3 OF 6} {TERRORIST
ATTACKS} {SPANISH} (TV)
Summary
Continued from T:80876. Tape three of six. This Antena
3 newscast presents coverage of the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001, and their aftermath, as aired on
Antena 3 in Spain. This tape contains Antena 3's live
and continuous coverage from 5:56 p.m. Madrid time
(11:56 a.m. EDT) to 6:56 p.m. (12:56 p.m. EDT). Antena
3 news director Ernesto S‡ez de Buruaga, Matias Prat,
and Jesus Hermida anchor from the studio, while Ricardo
Ortega reports from New York. Neither the anchors nor
the New York correspondent are seen on-screen
throughout this segment of the broadcast. This portion
begins with a statement from President JosŽ Mar’a
Aznar of Spain, who is in Estonia: the president
expresses his condolences to the president of the United
States and the American people, states that the attacks
call all free nations to fight against terrorism, and
pledges his help and support to the United States. JosŽ
Perez, a pilot from a major airlines, discusses the
speed and force at which the plane struck the south
tower, what kind of training a pilot would need to fly
such a plane in that manner, and how soon air traffic
controllers would know that something was going wrong
(footage of the plane striking the tower is repeatedly
shown). Newly available images of people who were
stuck above the crash site on the north tower, some
throwing themselves from the burning tower, are shown.
An unidentified female correspondent reports live from
the U.S. Embassy in Madrid which is under tightened
security. Vice President Mariano Rajoy makes a
statement about increased security within Spain,
especially for American sites that might be subject to
attack, about flights from Spain that had been diverted
and landed elsewhere, and that the cabinet is meeting in
order to act if necessary. Prat announces the the
governor of New York State has declared it impossible to
calculate casualties at this time. PSOE leader JosŽ
Luis Rodriguez Zapatero also makes a statement
condemning the attack, calling for nations to
collaborate to fight terrorism, and pledging to support
the president in any action that would ensure the
security of Spain and the world. Prat then goes to
another eyewitness, a Spanish tourist named Eduardo
Martinez Robles (audio i.d. only), who emerged from the
subway in Queens to hear a loud noise and see one of the
towers on fire and then a plane hit the other. Enrique
Zimmerman reports from Israel, summarizing the
responses of PLO leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres.
JosŽ Angel Clavas (audio i.d. only) reports from London
that the stock exchange and the financial district of
Canary Wharf are being evacuated as a precautionary
measure; Prat asks if there is any indication that the
British government thinks that the attacks may be from
Iraq, but Clavas says that the British have only said
that as close allies to the United States they may be
objects of attacks as well. Ramon Paredas reports from
Madrid Barrajas that the airport is on maximum alert and
that the 9 flights bound for or returning from the
United States have been landing, the passengers totally
unaware of the attacks. The station then replays its
initial early coverage of the plane hitting the second
tower and the images available. The anchors then
discuss how the United States and the American people
might face this crisis and how other countries who
might be suspect will respond. An unidentified female
announcer summarizes events up to that point; the
newscast returns to the anchors (now seen on-screen)
who announce there will be a more complete summary at
the top of the hour. Continues with T:71483.
