“god！ What happened? ”

"Oh my God, it flew towards the Twin Towers."

"It'...... It's flying too low, it's going to crash into it. ”

“……”

Almost everywhere in the Manhattan neighborhood, anyone with a good vantage point has seen a Boeing 767 flying at a very low altitude, almost swooping over New York City.

"It's going to crash, oh my God, it's going to crash."

With the exclamations of countless people, the behemoth, which weighed more than 100 tons, carried an amazing force that was enough to destroy everything, and crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center building, one of the twin towers.

Rumble!

A huge fireball soared into the sky, bursting out of the half-century-old skyscraper, like a devil from hell, wrapped in terrifying energy, wielding the scythe of death, and began to harvest life.

After a terrifying silence, everyone went crazy!

They shouted, they screamed, they ran in all directions......

A minute before the launch, ABC TV had switched the signal, and in front of the camera was a newly decorated CAA live studio, and the anchor was Linda Hoyman with a serious expression.

"CAA TV reports for you, I'm Linda. A disaster worthy of the Pearl Harbor attack has once again befallen the United States, and the World Trade Center building was hit by a Boeing 767 passenger plane in front of the moment. ”

All the shopping malls, hotels, downtown areas, neighborhoods, and towns in the United States who are watching ABC TV are attracted by the eye-catching Bearking-News a minute ago, and then the screen switches to the scene that Linda has just broadcast.

In the footage, smoke billows up over New York City, and flames continue to rise from the north building of the 110-story World Trade Center. Countless jing, fire trucks, and ambulances arrived from all directions, and the whole city of New York City was immersed in a cacophony of jing.

Countless people are asking, what the hell is going on?

Until someone remembered to turn on the TV and prepare to watch the news to understand the situation, everyone realized that it seemed that only ABC TV in the United States, and an unheard of TV station called CAA, were paying attention to this terrible thing.

And CAA TV is even more busy, there are countless viewers who have not seen the live picture for the first time, and ask the TV station to repy (playback) the live picture for the first time.

However, the audience is demanding a replay, and Jack, the head of news at CAA Television, has been sent back by Link. Jack didn't have the bother to question Link now, because he was too busy to do so.

And when Jack reacts to the audience's request to Link, Link's answer is to ask them to wait five minutes, and there will be a replay of the footage after five minutes.

He had just finished his call with Jack when Bobbs called again.

As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Bobs shout in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Link, how did you know in advance?" Oh no, that's not my primary concern, I mean, we're in a partnership, right? So can we ABC TV broadcast the first time picture of the scene on other channels? ”

Link took a deep breath, and a few hundred meters behind him was the smoke-filled World Trade Tower, which was the closest thing to hell.

However, he now has to use these tragic images as commercial bargaining chips. He told himself in his heart that I can't change anything, can I?

I heard him say in a muffled voice: "Mr. Bobbs, according to the contract between us, ABC TV had to broadcast the live footage of CAA TV for five minutes, and now only about three minutes have passed. Also, there is no mention of the use of TV images in the contract between us, you know. ”

"Yes, yes, I understand all of that." Bobbs held the earpiece in one hand and wiped the sweat from his face with the other, and he regretted it very much now, almost regretting it to the fullest.

He hated himself for being so stupid, and the contract he signed with Link at that time seemed to be like ABC TV standing in an undefeated position.

First, if there is really major news, because ABC only uses the signal screen of CAA TV, but the audience is still watching ABC TV, the ratings will not run.

Second, if there is no major news, then under the terms of the contract, Link is required to pay ABC a million dollars in liquidated damages. In addition, the ratings are generally very low during the morning work hours every day, and there is no impact on ABC TV.

But now, Bobbs doesn't want anything now, he just wants to get the first live picture of the "World Trade Center Crash Case".

"Okay, Mr. Link, let's make a price, how much do you want to sell us the license to ABC TV?" Bobbs regretted it, but now he understands that this is not the time to regret it, the audience wants to watch Repy, and if he doesn't, not only the audience will be angry, but the shareholders will too.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bobbs, I won't sell it no matter how much you pay for it, it's going to be exclusive to CAA TV. Exclusive, you know? ”

Link knew that he couldn't offend ABC TV, no matter how he said that they were all predators in the media industry, and it would be sad to offend them.

So, he continued: "Although I won't sell you the license, we still have a good relationship, don't we? ”

Hearing that there was a turn in Link's words, Bobs's tone also rose an octave: "That's right, Mr. Link, ABC's cooperation with CAA TV is very pleasant, so ......?" ”

Link rubbed his sore forehead, he hadn't slept for days, and he was about to experience 911 again, and he felt like his Jing was about to collapse.

However, he knew he had to stick with it, so he continued: "So, although I can't sell you the license, our cooperation can be extended. The two of us can cooperate to launch a reporting column to report on the event in real time, and only use the first-time live footage in this column, how do you feel? ”

Collaborate on a reporting column? Bobbs thought for a moment. After some trade-offs, Bobbs finally agreed.

Although he understands that Link wants his CAA TV station to be next to the big tree of ABC, Bobs has no reason not to agree, who let Link have what he wants? This is not only something he wants, I am afraid that there is no TV station in the United States that does not want.

Bobbs was right, and now the most concerned about this disaster in the United States is not the president, nor Congress, but the major television stations in the United States.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, no television station had the kind of adventure that Link did, so no one would have thought of sending a large reporting team to wait there before the incident.

And after the incident, almost the largest television stations in the United States saw the live broadcast of ABC TV at the same time, and all media people were keenly aware that this was the second major news in the history of the United States that the homeland was attacked.

And the last time was Pearl Harbor half a century ago, and this time it is even crazier than Pearl Harbor. Although Pearl Harbor is also a U.S. territory, it is not a "homeland" that people can subconsciously recognize.

This time it was different, the attack was in New York, in Manhattan, and it was the financial center of the world!

This event can extend to countless press releases, and it can also spawn several high-rated news programs, but!

However, ABC TV has already started live TV a few minutes ago, and everyone knows that the viewing habits of the audience will always be the one with the fastest coverage.

I'm afraid that the ratings of ABC TV have reached a terrifying height now.

CBS (CBS), NBC (NBC), and Fox (Fox) – the three largest television stations in the United States – arrived at the scene almost simultaneously and were the fastest outside of Link's CAA.

However, when the three television stations arrived, it was already close to five minutes after the incident.
