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 usualy 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. ..."
