Ikadalawampung anibersaryo ng 9/11 terror attacks sa United States, ginugunita ng bansa ngayong araw.
Isa si Chi Bocobo sa mga journalists na naroon mismo nang maganap ang trahedya
Bocobo on covering 9/11 attacks as a young journalist: Noong araw na 'yon, it was the second lease of my life. It was a very rare situation na hindi ako nagigising sa alarm ko. That day, I missed the bus going to the World Trade Center
Bocobo: I thought I was watching a movie when ginising ako and they said na something tragic is happening in downtown Manhattan
Bocobo: Naglakad ako papunta sa ground zero. It was like a pandemonium, parang scene sa war movie. Everything just got disintegrated. It was a state of panic and chaos
Bocobo on what she learned in her 9/11 coverage: Everything is grace. You can't control anything at all. Even the fact that I even survived that day was pure grace
Bocobo reflects on her 9/11 coverage: Ang pinakaimportanteng natutunan ko doon as a journalist is to be a person first. Ang role is to interview them and get a shot. Pero pag andoon ka na, walang closure doon sa mga families because they did not see the bodies of their loved ones
Bocobo on the aftermath of 9/11 in the world: Nagkaroon ng collective sense of unity and patriotism. Pero hindi na mawawala kailanman yung takot sa mga terror attacks
