I'd gone to bed around 9.30 pm as I had an early work start the following morning. This was my daily routine as Director of Australia's Today Show, early to bed, early to rise. As I was just drifting into a deep sleep my wife could hear our answering machine clicking in. There was noise in the background and a hurried voice. What she was saying didn't make sense. Nudging me out of my slumber I reached the answering machine. There were few words, but the message was numbing. "America is at War. They've been attacked. How quickly can you get in?"
As I drove to Channel 9, my mind was racing. I hadn't yet seen the images that had rocked the world to its core. I didn't yet know what this day meant.
The newsroom was already teaming with reporters and camera crews, producers and editors.
