9/11 tragedy pager intercepts (2009)

  • Every time these get referenced I think about the alert messages from servers[0] that got sent in the seconds after the first plane hit. It's chilling and makes it all very real for me.

  • Looks mostly like spam, system messages, and gibberish.

    What am I missing?

  • The first line has two errors. First, 9/11 was on a Tuesday. Saying it was a Sunday is just foolish, as it happened at the start of a busy workday. Many of us still remember it like it was yesterday. Also, the line says 2011.

    Further question - how do we know these intercepts are authentic?
