Wikileaks releases 9/11 Pager Texts

Kernel Sanders · Nov 25, 2009

Wikileaks is releasing a half a million pager texts that were sent between 3AM 9/11 and 3AM 9/12 in New York and DC. Skimming through it's mostly technical junk and what isn't is about what you'd expect. Still, it's a candid view of arguably the most important event in our time, and I thought that some here would be interested in seeing them. Wikileaks appears to be replaying them, so they won't all be out until 3AM tomorrow, but the portion during the actual attacks is already up.

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 "live" to the global community — 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, 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.
