Wikileaks has done something extraordinary.

“A few minutes after the first hijacked airplane slammed into the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001, text pager services in New York and Washington DC lit up with thousands of messages from people trying to contact loved ones,” says ninemsn.

“While internet servers and cell phone networks crashed across New York City, text pagers continued to function.”

Yesterday, “An archive containing the contents of more than half a million pager messages sent on 11 September 2001 was published yesterday by the internet site Wikileaks,” says The Independent.

“It provided an uncensored and sometimes deeply moving first-hand account of the attacks on New York and the Pentagon.”

Says the Wikileaks post »»»

From 3AM on Wednesday November 25, 2009, until 3AM the following day (US east coast time), WikiLeaks released 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 were broadcasted “live” to the global community — sychronized to the time of day they were sent. The first message was 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.
