I also would like to download the video to show my class. Our school does not have internet in all of the classrooms or computers fast enough to stream video.
If you have iTunes you can download the special for free here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/nick-news-with-linda-ellerbee/id400203724
Hope this helps!
This link is blocked by the NYC dept of ed. I want to show it to my class. Can it be purchased? Can you email the file itself and not just the link? Is it going to be reaired?
I’ve embedded the full video on this post (above). I am not sure if they will be re-airing it. Hope this helps!

Wow! The September 11th Nick News with Linda Ellerbee was perfect for helping me explain 9/11 to my 9 and 7 year olds. It was just the right mix of information and explanation that they needed to help understand what all the current discussion is about, and why it’s so important not to forget that day. Thank you!
