Summary
One in this series of Spanish news magazine programs on recent national and international events.

This tape presents coverage of the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as aired on Antena 3 (Spain). This program is divided into nine segments: the first seven concern the terrorist attacks, the last two are on recent murder trials in Spain. Anchor Esther Malag—n opens the program and introduces each report. The first report, narrated by Mar’a Cat—n, Gabriel Rela–o, and Iv‡n Carrasco, summarizes the events of September 11, including the plane crashes in New York and Washington and the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, and President George W. Bush's condemnation of the attacks.

The interviewees comment on airport and airplane security, emergency codes used by pilots and flight attendants, and the possible training these terrorists might have received.

Interviewees include Coronel Diego Camacho, of defense department intelligence; Fernando S. Agust’n, defense expert; Rafael Calduch, professor of International Relations; and J.A. Garc’a Andrade, forensic psychiatrist. Images show Osama bin Laden delivering a speech with threatening the United States, the site of the bombings in the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and the arrest in Alicante, Spain, of Mohammed ben Sakira, thought to be the third closest man to Osama bin Laden and who was charged for planning to attack the European Parliament.

The fifth segment, narrated by Mart’n Herrero and Teo Plaza, focuses on the attack's victims, those on the planes, and those in the towers. It begins with a recording of a woman called Melissa trapped in one of the towers leaving a message for her husband Sean. There are interviews with JosŽ A. Garc’a Andrade, forensic psychiatrist; Adoraci—n Moreno, Red Cross psychiatrist; and Roberto Manrique, victim of a terrorist attack by ETA, the Spanish separatist terrorist group, and director of the Association for Victims of Terrorism.

They report that several films that were meant to air the week following the attacks, including "Independence Day" and "Die Hard," were cancelled due to the similarity of their content to the recent events. The seventh segment, narrated by Javier Gallego and Carlos Aguado, looks at the importance of cellular phones in assisting rescue efforts. There is an interview with Emilio Medina, one of the 123 passengers in a June 1998 hijacking, who put the police in touch with the plane's hijacker.
