All week, Eight Forty-Eight looked back at the tragedies that occured on September 11, 2001, and the country’s progress since that fateful day. A few days after planes hit the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, WBEZ’s Richard Steele sat down with then-Eight Forty-Eight special contributor, Studs Terkel. The late author, activist and oral historian began by sharing his first reaction when he heard the news and saw the images.
