| #5 Jeff Jarvis at BuzzMachine has saved the eyewitness account which he wrote for NJ.COM, and also has an audio narrative. And here is the Slashdot thread (somewhat filtered), posted as things unfolded. |

| #2 Michele, at A Small Victory, has a collection of personal accounts (two years worth, now) in her Voices project. My own modest blogging efforts are recorded at No Ordinary Day. Christopher Hitchins seems to have joined the "Get over it!" crowd, with his latest. My feelings: It started last week. The inability to concentrate. The restless sleep needing Tylonol PM to quell. The bubbling anger all the time. Actually it didn't start last week, it just started to flare up. As we near the second anniversary of the murders of September 11, 2001, I feel it more and more. |
