9/11 tragedy pager intercepts
The document-leaking site Wikileaks says it's preparing to release 500,000 intercepted pager messages from a 24-hour period encompassing the September 11 terrorist attacks. Site operators say they plan to [a href="http://911.wikileaks.org/"]start rolling out the texts[/a] beginning at 3am New York time (8am GMT), paced to display as they were broadcast at the corresponding time on September 11, 2001. American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower at 8.46am local time, and United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower 17 minutes later.[/p] "Text pagers are mostly carried by persons operating in an official capacity," reads the description on the site. "Messages in the archive range from Pentagon and New York Police Department exchanges, to computers reporting faults to their operators as the World Trade Center collapsed."
[/p][hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]From 3AM on Wednesday November 25, 2009, until 3AM the following day (US east coast time), WikiLeaks is releasing over half a million US national text pager intercepts. The intercepts cover a 24 hour period surrounding the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.
The messages are being broadcast to the global community "live", sychronized to the time of day they were sent. The first message is from 3AM September 11, 2001, five hours before the first attack, and the last, 24 hours later.
Text pagers are usually carried by persons operating in an official capacity. Messages in the archive range from Pentagon and New York Police Department exchanges, to computers reporting faults to their operators as the World Trade Center collapsed.
The archive is a completely objective record of the defining moment of our time. We hope that its revelation will lead to a more nuanced understanding of the event and its tragic consequences.
