Grand Reopening

All the subway stations that were demolished, destroyed, or damaged by 9/11 are reopening today, except for the 1 & 9 and A & C World Trade Center stops, which are now merely stretches of covered tunnel running beneath the site. This means the N & R Cortlandt Street station will be open when I go to work tomorrow, which is going to be really strange and a little eerie. I almost want to get off there and see what it looks like. I might be able to stand it now.

I’m still amazed at how quickly we’ve cleaned up. Such a contrast between this crime scene and mess the narcs left behind when they tossed the apartment downstairs. Our door still doesn’t close right.

I wonder if they’ll take down the flags?

9-11 Journal Notes & Links


  • Creative Commons License
    This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License.
  • A Quick Note
    This is a limited journal of the two weeks after the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. There are also follow-up entries from the anniversaries. More entries about life after 9-11 can be found at Spawn of Blogorrhea. For a longer, rawer version of this journal, you can e-mail me.
  • Al Qaeda's Fantasy Ideology
    Article in Policy Review. One of the few explanations of the act that makes sense, at least to me.
  • Complete 9/11 Timeline
    From the Center for Cooperative Research. Extremely detailed and well-researched. With pictures.
  • David Friend: Watching the World Change
    The blog for this extraordinary book.
  • Mr. Beller’s Neighborhood
    Again, more than 9/11 stories, though those are definitely worth reading, as is the rest of the site.
  • Photo of Memorial Cranes
    From the 2003 anniversary, courtesy Emily Hegarty.
  • Photo of WTC buildings
    from Great Buildings dot com
  • Project Rebirth
    Several still cams at various spots around the World Trade Center site, capturing the activity of rebuilding in a sometimes quite dramatic time-lapse progression.
  • September Eleven: A Resource Page
    Cookie and pop-up free, menu driven, recently updated, and provides rare multimedia links and commentary. Thanks to: George Edw. Seymour
  • Teaching and Understanding Sept 11
    A web-based publication with contributions are drawn from sociology, criminology, political science and anthropology. Includes syllabi, essays, pedagogy. Links to longer reading lists, photos, a newsblog, and other features. Thanks to Dr Paul Leighton
  • Thirteen Days
    Jonathan Corum’s “collection of photographs from the line of evacuation.” Still stunning a year later. Followed up by 13 Weeks and 13 Months
  • Urban Legends Reference pages
    Click on Rumors of War at the bottom to access the 9/11 pages. Reliable debunkers of rumor.
  • Views from Brooklyn
    One of the first sites to pop up immediately after the disaster. These photos were taken with a cool eye and a view to documenting what was possible for a civilian to document.
  • YouTube - Jon Stewart 9/11
    Jon Stewart's extraordinarily raw broadcast after 9/11. Brave, heartening, wrenching.
