Hundreds of thousands of electronic messages from 9/11 – including panicked exchanges from the Pentagon and the NYPD – were released today by a nonprofit activist group.

The riveting pager texts include messages from people at the fiery scene, brave first responders and worried, desperate onlookers just trying to get a word about a loved one.

"We're under another 'terrorist' attack in new york city at the world trade buildings!!!" said one message recorded at 9:11 a.m. "It's horrible. two planes crash into the top floors of each building."

Another message reads: "Please don't leave the building. One of the towers just collapsed! PLease, please be careful. Repeat,"

Bringing back these painful memories at this time may encourage people to DEMAND the administration drop the insensitive and shameful aspect of giving the terrorists Constitutional rights within our courts —— right there in NYCity. Obama and his thugs are not afraid to show their hatred of all things American — and love for all things Islamic. TRAITOR!

Although I find some of this too personal (phone numbers, addresses..) and a really hard to navigate site, it is interesting. It gives almost a second-by-second breakdown. Warning....a full load of caffeine is required! Thanks for the link.

OH, yeah, and my biggest question:

How did these folks get this info? It’s not just from one carrier, it’s from ANY carrier. FOIA?

The country hasn’t learned its lesson. In fact, political correctness has gotten worse and we are in greater danger than before.

>> How did these folks get this info? <<

Dunno. But the unauthorized interception or release of such messages is a serious violation of federal law.

In fact, the federal criminal statutues couldn’t be any clearer in this regard. See U.S.C. Title 18, Pt. I, Ch. 119, § 2511.
