WILLIAMSPORT SUN-GAZETTE, A Special Afternoon Edition, Penn., September 11, 2001 

* 9/11 Terrorists attack
* World Trade Center

Because most newspapers today are morning papers, most reported the tragedy of September 11 in their Sept. 12 issue. But some printed an "Extra" edition later the same day, such as this newspaper.
The banner headline reads: "Attacked" with: "Thousands Could be Dead" and more with 3 related photos. Nice for display. Every page in this special edition publication is related to this infamous event.
Complete with 8 pages, nice condition.

Background: This special afternoon "Extra" edition of the Williamsport Sun-Gazette from September 11, 2001, stands out as an exceptionally rare and historically visceral artifact because afternoon newspapers were already a dying breed by the turn of the 21st century, allowing this local publication to capture the raw, unfolding shock of the terrorist attacks in real time while the towers were still collapsing. Featuring a striking, display-worthy banner headline declaring "Attacked" alongside the grim forecast that "Thousands Could be Dead" and three related photographs, the complete eight-page edition is entirely dedicated to the unfolding national tragedy, providing a stark contrast to the next-day retrospective issues published by morning papers across the country.
