Calls from WTC to 911 on 9/11/01 released
This week, the City of New York released recordings of phone calls made to 911 from the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001. Today, the New York Times published MP3s of several of the recordings, as well as transcripts. [New York Times]
The voices of the callers are edited out of three of the calls, while Christopher Hanley's voice was left in, with his family's permission. [New York Times] I don't know what is more tragic - hearing the 911 responders tell Hanley to "sit tight" because the firefighters were on their way (the standard procedure for fires in high-rise buildings), or thinking about all the firefighters who died trying to make it up there to save people.
