====September 11 attacks====
Lin was the first television anchor to break the news of the [[September 11 attacks]] to a worldwide audience. It was three minutes after the attacks began in [[New York City]] that CNN interrupted a [[Ditech]] TV commercial at 8:49&nbsp;a.m. EST with a live picture of the [[World Trade Center (1973-2001)|World Trade Center]]'s north tower on fire and Lin reporting from [[CNN Center]] in [[Atlanta]]:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/bn/date/2001-09-11/segment/01|title=CNN.com - Transcripts |website=CNN |date=September 11, 2001 |access-date=May 13, 2020}}</ref>

<blockquote>Yeah. This just in. You are looking at obviously a very disturbing live shot there. That is the [[World Trade Center (1973-2001)|World Trade Center]], and we have unconfirmed reports this morning that a plane has crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center. [[CNN Center]] right now is just beginning to work on this story, obviously calling our sources and trying to figure out exactly what happened, but clearly something relatively devastating happening this morning there on the south end of the island of Manhattan. That is once again, a picture of one of the towers of the World Trade Center.</blockquote>

Less than two months after Lin reported the news of the September 11 attacks, she traveled to [[Pakistan]] to report on numerous topics for CNN, including [[Afghan refugees]] in the country.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/smn/date/2001-11-03/segment/10 |title=CNN.com - Transcripts |website=CNN |date=November 3, 2001 |access-date=November 27, 2016}}</ref>
