During its initial coverage of Operation Swarmer -- a joint U.S.-Iraqi military operation that began March 16 -- Fox News aired video footage of the wreckage of New York's World Trade Center following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The footage aired during the 11 a.m. ET hour of the March 16 edition of Fox News Live.
During one segment, as anchor Brigitte Quinn interviewed correspondent David Piper regarding Operation Swarmer, Fox aired footage of the nighttime bombing of Baghdad during the initial days of the Iraq war in March 2003. A caption on the video footage identified the date of the film as March 21, 2003, and the location as "Baghdad." Later, Quinn interviewed retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, asking him to comment on the difference between the tactics used in Operation Swarmer and the so-called "shock and awe" tactics employed during the early days of the war -- massive bombing designed to impel the surrender of Saddam Hussein's regime before the launch of any ground campaign.
Fox News aired the World Trade Center footage during Quinn's interview with McInerney. Neither Quinn nor anyone else actually referred to the footage, and an onscreen caption bore the date "March 21, 2003" -- the same date shown on the "shock and awe" footage of Baghdad aired earlier. But the World Trade Center footage clearly depicted the wreckage of a portion of the steel exterior of one of the center's twin skyscrapers, as well as onlookers at the scene, one of whom remarked -- in English -- "Oh my God."
