9/11 tragedy pager intercepts.
From 3AM on Wednesday November 25, 2009, until 3AM the following day (US
east coast time), WikiLeaks released 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 were broadcasted "live" to the global community —
sychronized to the time of day they were sent. The first message was 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, FBI, FEMA and New York Police
Department exchanges, to computers reporting faults at investment banks
inside the World Trade Center
The archive is a completely objective record of the defining moment of
our time. We hope that its entrance into the historical record will
lead to a nuanced understanding of how this event led to death, opportunism and war.
