Greed is good !

  • X claims to have sent the first news report of a plane crashing into the WTC on 9/11. Top editors worried that they might miss publishing the first issue for the first time in the paper's 112-year history. Due to their offices being near WTC, they relocated to a makeshift office at an editor's home.
  • The paper was on the stands the next day in which the most compelling story in that day's edition was a first-hand account of the Twin Towers' collapse written by then-Foreign Editor John Bussey who was stuck in a nearby building in the shadow of WTC. 
  • X won a 2002 Pulitzer Prize in Breaking News Reporting for that day's stories.
