Free Republic was the ONLY information source I had other than local radio until we were sent home about 2 pm, and finally then I could see TV coverage. All the other news websites were too jammed up to function, but FR still worked (albeit very slowly).

Does anyone have a pointer to any of the 9/11 FR threads?

- Thanks

As I recall, FR along with other websites, slowed down or did not operate for a while that morning. I thought perhaps too many users were trying to access it. In any case, it sure made those first few minutes tense and scary.

I would like to see the CNN coverage, just to see how they handled it. Though it will be very unpleasant to see. I did not start watching TV coverage until well after 9 am, after both towers had been hit. :(

Maybe the Mods can link those threads on the main page on 9/11?

Yep. Saved this site in case I needed to be reminded.
