President George W. Bush was running on a golf course in Florida before dawn on September 11, 2001, when Steve Holland, a Reuters agency reporter who was accompanying him that day, saw him for the first time. The scheduled agenda was routine: Bush, who had been in the White House for less than eight months, would participate in an event with children to promote his educational policies at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota.
Within hours, however, Bush would face the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor in 1941. Twenty-five years later, the former president exhibits in Texas about 15 paintings inspired by his memories of the terrorist attacks that changed the history of the United States and the world. Reporter Steve Holland narrates the behind-the-scenes of that historic day and the president's reaction to the unfolding events.
