Wikileaks Publishes 500,000 9/11 Pager Messages

An anonymous reader writes "Wikileaks is preparing to release 500,000 intercepted pager messages from a 24-hour period encompassing the September 11 terrorist attacks. The messages show emergency services springing into action and computer systems sending automated messages as buildings collapse. Wikileaks implies this data came from an organised collection effort."

    SMS is unreliable? Where?

    In the 15 years I've been using it, only New Years Eve at midnight caused any problems. This was a long time ago too. I don't remember it happening for the last few years.

    15 minutes wait? Where?

    I do transactions online, and SMS messages come in as quick as email. Argos, Tesco Top-ups - instant.

    Voice mail texts me after a missed call. Instant.

    Me thinks you live in a 3rd world country, or one that is very backward.

    For one thing, I can tell you that flight 93 was not brought down by terrorists. A friend of mine works at Center, and he told me that the air force shot down flight 93. You don't get a nine mile debris trail from a turnover crash. It was blown apart at high altitude.

    The official story is probably just patriotic propaganda.

    Don't know anything about the rest of the 9/11 attacks. Would be pretty hard to hide incriminating evidence though. Contrary to popular belief, people don't just follow orders and do what they're told. If there was evidence of government collusion with the terrorists, it would have shown up by now. People talk.

    The airplane was undergoing violent maneuvers prior to the crash (which would have thrown off parts of the plane) and apparently started at 40,000 feet. Nine miles isn't much considering what was happening.
