WABC, the ABC O&O in New York, is streaming an hour-long special marking the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York.

Eyewitness to 9/11: Behind the Lens, features never-before-seen footage, firsthand accounts and riveting testimonies from WABC reporters, anchors and staff who were live on-air or reporting the day of the 2001 attacks in New York.

Eyewitness to 9/11: Behind the Lens features Eyewitness News journalists who were there in the streets, in the air and in the newsroom, reporting on the events as the tragedy unfolded, capturing unforgettable videos and risking their lives to inform the world what was happening, minute by minute.

Eyewitness to 9/11: Behind the Lens, documents the day, moment by moment on what began as a local news break on a clear, blue-sky morning in lower Manhattan to become one of the darkest days in American history.

The special is told in first-person narratives of the Eyewitness News team — from field crews and newsroom staff to Eyewitness News anchors and reporters, past and present, including Bill Ritter, NJ Burkett, Sandra Bookman, Joe Torres, Nina Pineda, Lauren Glassberg, Anthony Johnson, Jim Dolan, Michelle Charlesworth, Diana Williams, Lucy Yang, Stacey Sager, Marcus Solis, John Del Giorno, Jim Hoffer, Tim Fleischer and Jeff Rossen.

The station also pays special tribute to WABC engineer Don DiFranco, who was working in the North Tower the morning of the attacks. DiFranco’s first and last call was made to the master control room of Eyewitness News headquarters, located at 7 Lincoln Square, to alert fellow engineers of a possible disruption in service.

Eyewitness to 9/11: Behind the Lens debuted Aug. 30 across WABC’s digital platform and ABC7NY’s Connected TV Apps on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and Android TV.
