Description

January 1991: CNN correspondents are the only journalists to provide live reports from Baghdad, Iraq, as war erupts. Audiences around the world watched in real time as CNN's John Holliman, Peter Arnett and Bernard Shaw reported on the bombing, explosions, sirens and bright flashes across the night sky. "The skies over Baghdad have been illuminated," Shaw famously described. The coverage helped cement CNN's place as a global news leader and changed forever the way news is covered on live TV.
