WNYC's full 14-hour broadcast from 9/11

WNYC has a 14-hour recording of their reporting on 9/11 to listen to if you would like to hear how the day unfolded to radio listeners.

The audio above is a recording of what WNYC broadcast throughout the day on September 11, 2001, beginning shortly after the first plane struck the World Trade Center. It includes the first eyewitness account of the attacks recorded and broadcast that day.

WNYC's radio tower was located at the top of the World Trade Center and broadcast was cut on FM wavelengths after the building was attacked. However, WNYC was still broadcasting on their AM channel which you can hear in the recording.

EDIT: If you want, you can also check out CBS' 1010WINS news broadcast from that morning.

Look at this amazing pair of Burger King Whopper headphones

How amazing is this? Product placement crossovers were really at their peak in the '80s. This one featured the Burger King Whopper on a pair of AM radio headphones sold at Radio Shack in 1983. The headphones look pretty good actually but as LGR says below in the video, the sound was less than appealing.

The '80s and '90s are real hot right now. When will somebody re-make these with Bose inserts? I mean, c'mon, real Whopper size muffs this time though, ok?
