New WTC Tapes

Under a court order, the city of New York released more logging recorder tapes of the Sept. 11th terrorist attack on the World Trade Center towers. The 1,613 recordings were discovered by fire department officials, who believed they had already turned over all copies of radio and telephone transmissions in March to attorneys of families who are suing the city over the emergency response. The tapes are only of police, fire, EMS personnel and emergency dispatchers, and not of any citizens who dialed 911 on that day. Read more about the tapes here.
