If you go half way down in the article that I linked to you will find this :

" And we can tell you that two planes have crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, all of this began just a little more than an hour ago, at about 8:45 Eastern time."
( http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0109/11/bn.03.html )

So can we at least agree about the hour?

When it comes to the minute :

The transcript is timed 09:42, so when he says halfway down "just a little more than an hour ago", that seems to fit very good.

( About the other article : You argue that the headline could have been added later. They don´t mention any fire. That doesn´t seem all implausible. But since they added it at 09:31, maybe it was coming in to them at (about)this time (like it apparently reached that N.Y. firestation at this time) , but it hadn´t yet "reached the screen".
I´m thinking, there must be some reason why they put it up at 09:31.) ( Does the 09:31 news report stretch far? There was another one coming at 09:42 (?) )
