New Re: Pass also, while the transcripts might be of interest
It seems unfortunate that only historians (and those interested in history) are able to recognize the valuable lessons that can be learned and taught from the WTC transcripts. Beyond the obvious fears and desperations of those who made frantic calls to authorities and/or loved ones, the tapes, that several have referred to as "morbid" or "ghoulish," offer tangible proof of heroism.

It's pathetic that our society is more than willing to receive and "glorify" the voices of terrorists (i.e., our continued fascination with tapes and documents generated by Usama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein) but refuses to humanize or honor the victims of terrorism.
New Re: Pass also, while the transcripts might be of interest
Some of the officers could not bring themselves to write of their experiences, 2 years later.

One story that emerged from the transcripts needed to be told - the PA employees who needlessly waited on the 64th floor of WTC 1, only joining the evacuation when it was too late to exit the building.

Giuliani said it best - we NEED to relive this tragedy periodically, to motivate us to prevent it from happening again.

New Its pathetic that you ascribe motives
best belonging to the strap on a bomb mentality and do not think of others. Let the historians/folklorists review and publish their findings, that I will gladly read. Having stood at the site, any reading of the raw data would only fuel a rage that is best left banked at the moment.
thanx,
