ANDRIA HALL, CNN ANCHOR: The anniversary of Kennedy's death revives memories for a lot of people. In our CNN 20 segment, a few of our reporters and producers look back at the day they first heard about the plane crash.</s>ANNOUNCER: Bringing you the world for 20 years, this is</s>CNN. BILL DELANEY, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): My first memory of the morning John F. Kennedy Jr.'s plane crashed was the phone call that came in around 4 or 5 o'clock that Saturday morning. I remember the edge of anxiety in the person that called me from the CNN domestic desk. A difficult story to cover in the initial stages, because no one really new where the plane had gone down. Had it gone down near land? Had it gone down way out to sea?</s>JOIE CHEN, CNN ANCHOR: I don't know if the audience realizes it as much, but I think we had the sense that this one is not going to turn out well. This is a story that's not going to have a happy ending.</s>DELANEY: We did end up eventually outside the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport. Hundreds of other journalists from all over the country, all over the world were arriving by the minute, moving into this placid corner of Cape Cod that had seen big crowds before for Kennedy events, but nothing like this in many years. This was an event that seemed almost unimaginable.</s>PETER DYKSTRA, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Any death, any accident is sad. But this one has an extra element of sadness that not just all Americans can share but people all over the world for a family that's given so much and been through so much.
