CNBC anchor Mark Haines dead at 65 - Business - CNBC TV - msnbc.com
As much as we made fun of him on the trading floor because he appeared to be three sheets to the wind at 8am - I will miss Mark Haines. He was a human face and a warm sense of humour no matter the state of the markets. His irreverent attitude made him an early pioneer of turning dry business news into a watchable, informative “talk show”. This news has made me sadder than I expected it might…
For many of us in the market, he was the face of 9/11 reporting:
Haines may be best remembered for his calming and commanding presence during the 9/11 tragedy when he reacted unflappably to the furious stream of incoming rumor and even more astonishing truth with a professionalism that rivaled any television anchor
RIP
