At a certain point, my radio listening habits on September 11, 2001 didn't make sense. Flipping back and forth between KWMU, KMOX, and a few other stations wasn't productive when there was no new information about the terrorist attacks.
Still, I don't regret all that listening. Even when all the pieces of a puzzle aren't known, it's reassuring to know that people are working to obtain them and that everyone around you is reeling just as you are.
Besides, you never know when a key part of an ongoing saga will drop. Such is the nature of breaking news.
