9-11 : Never forget
This photo of "Hell at Ground Zero" reminds us that this was an act of war, not a "tragedy." There are more at the end of this post, taken by a friend of a friend, who helped with search and rescue in the week following the attack.
[ UPDATE: Sign at Ground Zero, from today. ]
Huge link roundup from 9-11, 2003, and I reposted some of them here.
Big link roundup from Winds of Change.
Here is New York. Hundreds of photographs from the construction of the WTC to the rubble at Fresh Kills.
Personal stories collected by the Jewish Week, including Lyzbeth Glick's last conversation with her husband Jeremy, one of the heroes of Flight 93.
My favorite 9-11 story. Always makes me cry.
Four years later, New York is almost back to normal.
9-11 families join Katrina relief efforts.
300 NYC police officers go to Louisiana to repay a debt:
Many of the officers have military experience. Others sent south were chosen because they had expertise in large search-and-rescue operations or building collapses.When they think back on Sept. 11, Inspector Graham and many others who arrived from New York remember especially that officers from New Orleans were among the first to join them at ground zero. "They were there in the first 24 to 48 hours," Inspector Graham said. "Not our request, they just came. They got on a bus and headed up. During 9/11 they were cooking gumbo and feeding us. So, when we got a request for Jefferson Parish, I think that is one of the reasons we came."
Looks like the protests against the "Freedom Center" got results:
A museum devoted to freedom on Tuesday named a seven-member family advisory group, part of a plan it proposed last month to involve Sept. 11 family members more in a center it hopes to bring to the World Trade Center site. . . . The Freedom Center was chosen last year to fill cultural space at the center that was set aside by Daniel Libeskind, who designed a master plan for the trade center site. Earlier this year, a group of family members issued vigorous objections to the museum, saying it would detract from the planned memorial and may contain anti-American exhibits.
NYTimes interactive sites about 9-11. These give me chills: Stories from different floors in the WTC that were affected, with links to a timeline and graphics showing number of phonecalls from each floor, transcripts of radio transmissions from 9-11 taped by the Port Authority, and accounts of final conversations by cellphone from people trapped in the towers.
Audio montage from 9-11 including from the "black box" of one of the planes.
Photos of some of over 200 people who jumped to their deaths rather than burn to death. (Warning: sappy soundtrack.)
Gerard van der Leun saw the towers fall from Brooklyn Heights, and posted his impressions to the Well.
Vietnam combat vet and 9-11 hero Rick Rescorla.
Those who died in the Pentagon attack.
The Black Day: A Photo Montage (with a great essay by one of my favorite columnists Leonard Pitts).
Slide show of the "unbuilding" of the WTC remains.
The following pieces of paper blew into the neighborhood of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, NY.
Huge JPG aerial view of the Ground Zero area.
