Did you see that extraordinary History Channel doc last night on Nine Eleven - "102 Minutes That Changed America?" If so, you helped set a record for the channel - it was the second-highest viewed program ever on the network, with a huge 5.2 million.

If you didn't see it, no problem: The network said it'll encore the program this Sunday at 8.

Here's the quote from HC boss, Nancy DuBuc: "We are proud and overwhelmed with the reaction to the special. At History, we believe it is our responsibility as archivists of history to create a lasting document, one that can be used in ten, twenty or fifty years to communicate what it was like to live through the morning of 9/11. By using original source material, we hope we have created a unique historical record that serves as a baseline for the future generations to understand the very human emotions that move history as well as the enormous changes that took place in its aftermath."

They should be proud. It was a really fine program.
