I was on vacation and away from a computer on 9/11/01, and I'm surprised the thread was so short. There must have been many other threads going at the same time.

I couldn't log onto Freepublic that day, problems with logging into the net and the server. I thought it was all of the traffic on the net.

Here is another:

Upon request, I have collected links to many of the earliest threads from September 11, 2001 below. I reviewed threads from the very first FR report (http://www.freeRepublic.com/focus/fr/520255/posts)through thread number 520326. Feel free to add other significant threads, including photo archives. Bumping this thread periodically instead of the original threads will also avoid scaring people with the headlines.

Bookmark this thread, and bump it from time to time when the nation and the press seems to forget why we need resolve in the face of evil. Forgive some of the early misinformation and broken photo links, and recall the horror and fury.

I was home recovering from major surgery on 9-11-01 - I spend most of that day watching the news and reading/posting on here. Just about every thread one could access was about the attacks. Remember though, the attacks happened during a time when most people, freepers included were at work, unable to post. Still the amount of threads and number of posting was incredible.
