Memory Hole has 9/11 transcripts from NYC police

Online

Last I heard, the Commission was granted the right to look at these transcripts, but there were to be redacted portions to protect citizen privacy. Apparently, once released NYC realized they were improperly withholding the documents. Still, it cost Memory Hole $500 to get them.


From Memory Hole's webpage:

For more background, check out this CNN article:

Frantic conversations between trapped people and authorities during the moments before the World Trade Center towers collapsed on September 11, 2001, are revealed in transcripts of radio and telephone transmissions and in handwritten notes that were released Thursday....

The transcripts were released by the agency that built and ran security at the World Trade Center -- the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

A good portion of the documents are from handwritten and typed notes of Port Authority police and civilian employees recounting afterward what had happened....

The rest of the documents are transcriptions of conversations over nearly 100 telephone lines and civilian radio channels....

The documents were released after a ruling from Judge Sybil R. Moses as a result of a lawsuit filed by the New York Times seeking access to the 2,000 pages of documents.


I haven't read them.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
