Major Sports Networks Apologize for Showing Twin Towers in Old NYC Stock Footage

  • ABC accidentally showed old footage including the Twin Towers during a basketball broadcast.
  • The footage was from over 20 years ago and aired during Sunday's Knicks-Heat playoff game.
  • ESPN, ABC's parent company, apologized for using the outdated and insensitive stock footage.
  • A similar mistake was made last year by Fox Sports during their MLB coverage.
  • The Knicks lost Game 1 of their second-round series to the Heat 108-101; the series continues Tuesday night in New York.
