What they said.
According to a partial transcript of the show I read on the Internets, some of the radio and cellphone transmissions were:
Holy shit! A plane crashed into the tower! Holy shit! Another plane went into the other tower! Holy fuck! Another plane went into the other tower! What the fuck? There's smoke pouring out of the World Trade Center. Holy fuck! There's smoke pouring out of the World Trade Center. Holy Shit! People are jumping out of the tower! Holy blessed fuck! They're jumping out of the fucking tower! Holy shit! The tower is collapsing!! Holy shit! I'm getting the fuck out of here! Holly living fuck! The second tower is collapsing! Holy fuck! I'm getting fucking out of here! Somebody send a fucking ambulance! Holy shit! I'm scared as fuck! Where's that fucking ambulance! The ambulance is fucking buried under a pile of fucking rubble! Holy fuck! What the fuck! Fuck! Shit! Seriously folks, That whole thing REALLY WAS fucking awful

See, that's the problem with Godless America. No one thinks about how they will be portrayed by history - or, in this case, CBS - when they're expressing themselves over other Americans in the process of being smote by Jehovah.
If CBS is smart, they'll run a bumper that shows Janet Jackson whipping out her tit again, just to rub Wildmon's face in it some more.

totally gobsmacked by the yanks double-standards......
you can show, endlessly, the deaths of hundreds of people (as the planes hit - maybe your censor think the planes are full of crash-test-dummies?) and then of thousands as the towers collapse (don't worry, they're just polystyrene like in Star Treck)... but an honest to goodness reaction like 'what the fuck just happened' (answer - the world changed) and you all act like Mary Whitehouse & the Crusade of Light. As a nation, you really do need to grow up.

Yes Jay, and in the meantime, I can hold you personally responsible for the BNP, correct? As a nation, you really need to quit being such an ass.

Gees Jay...and anyone else who happens to agree with either of the two preceeding posts, address the topic instead of attacking the poster...or the country they happen to come from.
Also, while it is certainly true that the US has had some serious social issues to do with civil rights in the past and continues to do so, I'd like to know of one country in the world that doesn't. Let's not get started on British Imperialism/colonialism huh?

As to the topic at hand, I don't see anything wrong with airing honest reactions to a terrible tragedy. What I think is more concerning is the amount of gratuitous profanity comming out of movies, comedy and every day conversations. I for one am guilty of having a potty mouth and believe that a few carefully placed profanities can go a long way towards making a point every now and then, but they're not necessary in every forum of discussion.
9/11 was a tragedy. People reacted in honesty because of that tragedy. I see no reason to censor honest reactions.

While I agree with JayMcGee's double standards gobsmackery I'll just say this:
It's ok for me to call my sister a whore, but not for you. (Not an exact translation of Clodfobble's post, but then, she's from Texas)

Please explain your confusion. I was addressing the post and suggesting that I don't think people's honest reactions should be censored.

Sorry Aliantha, I was making a joke about censoring profanity.
At least I was attempting to make a joke. I did wink my eye, but you didn't see it, since you are in Oz. On closer inspection, I'm not entirely sure I was being funny either.

profanity= honest reactions. In my case all too frequently
