Remembrance Archive: Free Republic Threads From 9-11-01

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 REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

[Starrgaizr]

Thanks for the excellent TV coverage link.

[Timesink]

Excellent! Many thanks!

By the way, FR is in the sort-of "official" September 11 Web Archive, but as you can see from the link, they only started archiving us in the middle of the afternoon on September 14. So it's a good way to see exactly what was going on here in the days and weeks afterwards, but you can forget about seeing the first 72 hours.

[Jean S]

Thanks. I'll bookmark this.

I just read the second one and boy am I crying! It makes me hurt and mad all over again. If there gets to be any squeemishness about the war on terror they just need to run the live feed from the news. I'll never forget seeing that second plane crash into the second tower and realizing that neither had been an accident.

[Shermy]

Thank you.

[The Game Hen]

I wish these threads could be published on dead trees. I would like to own a more permanent record.

[kayak]

An awesome collection of links! Thanks!

At first the media went overboard in playing the video over and over and over again .... but now they don't play it enough.

WE MUST NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!!!

[piasa]

Hit 'print'... it'll make Greenpeace scream to see you go through that much paper.

[I still care]

Is there a way to go back and check a certain time on Free Republic archives? For instance, say I wanted to check threads posted Sept 17, about noon. Could I do that?

[Starrgaizr]

The only way I can think of is to enter a post URL from one of the 9-11 posts above and increment the thread number upward by a few thousand and keep iterating until you find the right time period. Unless, of course, you can think of a narrow enough search phrase to find something close in the regular search engine. This is how I did the above archive.
