Special News Report on 911, ATV, Hong Kong, 2001.
The station notably put their hit show, the localized edition of WWTBAM, on hold to report on "a rare air accident" in the US. Full coverage followed as the incident unfolded.
This contrasted to what TVB did: A special report in the middle of their rival show The Weakest Link (also localized), then continued to play TV drama until the second plane crash, which forced them to switch to live coverage. This is ATV's initial newsflash (in Cantonese, contains footage of the crashed WTC building):
