The Sept. 11 Records
A rich vein of city records from Sept. 11, including more than 12,000 pages of oral histories rendered in the voices of 503 firefighters, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians, were made public on Aug. 12.
The New York Times has published all of them.
The oral histories of dispatch transmissions are transcribed verbatim. They have not been edited to omit coarse language
It might be difficult for those whom don't belong to the New York Times Select to read these 'unedited' notes of interviews of the rescue workers but if a friend has a subscription to the NY Times it would be worth your time to read just a few of the journalists notes regarding interviews with these people. So far, I have read about ten of them. It paints a picture of that day that is really an untold story. It's unique. Only the New York Times, the home town paper there, could put together such a poignant record.
I can't imagine any other presentation on film that speaks to that day the way the unedited notes of the rescue workers did.
