Associated Press journalists recall their experiences on September 11, 2001, 25 years later. One journalist, Karen Matthews, was at home with her 3-year-old daughter when she heard a loud boom. She went outside with her child and saw people staring up at a damaged building with smoke billowing from it. Matthews began asking witnesses what they had seen, taking notes while still holding her daughter.
Further details about the journalists' experiences are available. Matthews had initially planned to cover a primary election, but instead found herself documenting the events of that day.
The accounts of AP journalists who witnessed the events provide a personal perspective on what happened.
