9-11 all over again

September 11, 2001 was a terrible day for America (and many other countries for that matter).  For many it's still really hard to remember.  For others, remembering is necessary to keep their loved ones alive, if only to them. 

Wikileaks has released 500,000 text messages sent on that day (from 3am on September 11, until 3AM the following day (US east coast time)).  Conspiracy theories asside, it is interesting and scary reading.  Interesting how the event was broadcast and communicated.  Interesting how the pages were intercepted.  Interesting how people reacted (corporate meetings called, etc).  Scary to relive the events.  Scary to have the human side of the events broought back to the front of your mind. 

Scary that this could still happen again.
