01/20/2002"9/11 Photos, News Coverage"
I have a folder of bookmarks relating to September 11th that I went though today. Most of the links have changed, but two of the sites that affected me most were still intact, and indeed had grown. HereIsNewYork.org is a collection of amateur photographs taken from that early morning through the following hours and days. Ordinary people's observations of missing person's flyers and snapshots of neighbors watching the skyline, in shock, make a powerful gallery.
The other site is this collection of screen shots from over 200 news sites around the world taken on September 11 and 12. Indexed by country, publication and time, I remember looking at many of these pages. CNN had stripped down their front page to just the barest essentials due to an incredible surge in traffic. MSN, on the other hand, all that day had a story at the top of page about the attacks while keeping all it's stupid side "fluff" content about Britney Spears and Elton John. I wish I'd saved a screenshot of that to submit to the collection.
