SIC Notícias11 September 2026 at 14:32

25 years ago, the images arriving from New York interrupted SIC Notícias' broadcast. The Portuguese channel was on air when the first images of the attacks on the Twin Towers began to appear, completely altering the planned programming.

Marta Atalaya was the presenter who was live on air conducting the broadcast at that historic moment. It fell to her the task of reporting first-hand to Portugal what was happening in the United States.

The article recalls the impact that the broadcast of these images had on Portuguese viewers, who watched live the unfolding of the terrorist attacks that marked the history of the 21st century.
