In the light of certain demonstrations planned for Sept 12, here is what it was really like right after 9/11/01 on a street half just a half mile from ground zero, in the city in which it happened.

Actually, I'm on the 9/11/01 show archive (Sept 18, 2001 ). I called in to Tom to complain about the way Howard Stern was scaring his listeners with stories of more attacks and destruction. Tom agreed with that Stern was off base. He talked about how he used to listen to Stern but got tired of him.
This show is unique in the Best Show history. It is 2 hours of Tom just reflecting and listening to people and their reactions to the event. If you ever want to get an insight into the type of person Tom is you might want to listen to this show. While the comedy was put on hold, Tom showed his true compassion for people. No scare tactics here, only one man trying to make sense of the tragedy that just happened and calling on his listeners to come together and share their shock and sorrow.
A truly amazing Best Show.
