Model-turned-talk show host Tyra Banks fought back tears as she remembered America coming together after the atrocities of 9/11 when she launched her new season on TV in America yesterday (11SEP06). The former catwalk star delivered a sombre message to fans at the top of her new show, which fell on the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks. She said, "I was in New York City and I was lying in bed and I turned on the TV and what I saw was unimaginable... and then I looked out the window and I was like, 'This is real.' "Everybody worked together that day and during that time. It didn't matter what race you were, what sex you were, everybody worked together but today's a new day and it's not like that anymore and I wish that we could all come together like we did that day when there was so much tragedy."
