On 11 September 2001, an incredible on-air phone call between ITN's Kirsty Young and her husband Nick Jones captured the terrifying moment the second tower of the World Trade Center collapsed. Young was presenting ITV's live news coverage as events unfolded in New York and Washington DC when she spoke, live on-air, to her husband who was in New York on a business trip. Jones was recounting his morning and describing his view from the 12th floor of a building in Lower Manhattan when the second tower fell. Maintaining an astonishing level of professional focus, Kirsty Young listened to her husband's voice while looking at live pictures of the devastation being wrought on New York. Reflecting the uncertainty, fear, and chaos unleashed by that morning's terror attacks, Jones told Young "I don't know when I'll be coming home." In a tone as restrained as it was reassuring, Young told him to "take very good care of yourself," adding "I'll speak to you later - off-air."
