Web Site Publishes 9/11 Pager Messages

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Messages that people sent each other via pagers during the Sept. 11 attacks were released Wednesday by the non-profit activist group WikiLeaks .

The messages were sent by first responders, victims of the attack as well as family members checking on their loved ones.

"We're under another 'terrorist' attack in New York City at the World Trade buildings!!!" said one message sent at 9:11 a.m. "It's horrible. Two planes crash into the top floors of each building."

"Honey wanted to tell you how much I love you," another message said. "I was a little worried. I don't want to lose you now that I got you back. You mean everything to me. You have my whole heart and life. I love you so much."

"Life is changing -- so are our plans -- call me when you get a chance," a third message said.

The WikiLeaks 9/11 page indicates that half a million pager messages will be posted from 3 a.m. EST on Nov. 25 until 3 a.m. EST on Nov. 26. The messages cover the 24-hour period surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks. WikiLeaks said that the intent of the project was to document history. "The archive is a completely objective record of the defining moment of our time. We hope that its entrance into the historical record will lead to a nuanced understanding of how this event led to death, opportunism and war," it said on its Web site .

USA Mobility, a pager company, told MSNBC that it was troubled to see that the messages had been intercepted and published. It writes that a WikiLeaks spokesperson said the messages were given to the group anonymously.

But not everyone is thrilled to see the messages leak out. New York Post reader SGH wrote , "Who cares? I guess we'll be reliving this dreadful event every 9/11 for the next 100 years...enough already!!!" Writerdjb added, "Is this America? The day before most of the living nation drops on its knees or eats or watches football, the families of those de-strengthened by the attack will have a missing plate."
