I live in Australia, on the east coast and we use Australian Eastern Standard Daylight Time (AEDST). On the night of September 11, 2001 I was enjoying watching the Bob Dylan documentary from 1967, 'Don't Look Back' on ABC TV Australia.

At that time it must have been about 11.00 pm because the documentary hadn't been on for long. This made the time in New York city just then about 9.00 am. (The first plane having hit at 8.46 am.)

A shockingly worded message suddenly came across the top of the TV screen, telling me of a disaster occurring right now in New York city where two planes had crashed into both of the twin towers.

Immediately, I thought to myself, 'Wow, one plane crashing into the towers might be just an accident, but two? No way! This can't be anything other than a deliberate attack!'

The Dylan documentary quickly disappeared and a live broadcast of a scene of the twin towers came on screen, however, I was surprised to see there was only one plane set smouldering, embedded in just one of the two towers, and not two as just reported a minute or so earlier. I thought maybe the news must have made a mistake, since it had only just happened and sometimes news reports are a little blurry when they first report details of an event.

I watched this surreal scene in a state of growing shock and about two minutes later a second plane came into view and slammed into the side of the other tower.

Soon my best friend rang me, starting off the conversation with the words, "Are you watching this..?" Most of our conversation from then on was just silences and expletives peppered with the occasional 'I can't believe this!' as we watched for the next hour or so and the whole awful series of events took place.

At the time, I didn't really think too much about the odd discrepancy in the reporting of the fact that two planes had struck, even though when they began broadcasting what I assumed was live footage of events as they unfolded, there appeared to only be one crashed plane and the other one crashing didn't happen until after the transmission had begun.

I've done some research and a live broadcast from NY to Australia today in 2018 has only a seven second delay and I don't understand why there would have been any more delay than that back in 2001, since live satellite broadcasts were common place back then.

If that was a live broadcast of events as they happened with no delay present, I really can't explain why there seemed to be this foreknowledge of the event of the second plane crashing on the part of the ABC TV Australia news reporting services and so, the whole thing as it unfolded back then today looks more and more very much like a major glitch in the matrix.

I wonder what could have caused the news of the twin towers seem to report the second plane crashing before it actually happened?

TLDR: In Australia, news of the twin towers seemed to report the second plane crashing before it actually happened.
