“We do not very often make recommendations for people’s behavior from this chair,” … “but…if you’re a parent, you’ve got a kid in some other part of the country, call them up. Exchange observations.”
- Peter Jennings, ABC news anchor, signing off after 17 straight hours of coverage in the immediate aftermath of 9-11 attacks.
This is one of my favorite quotes, he’s so worn out, it makes sense, but it doesn’t, it’s such an odd thing to say, after what happened that day, he could of said anything, anything at all, but he choose to say this, he’s not thinking about the catastrophe that happened, he’s thinking about the audience and how it effected them, and I guess thats why I like it.
