WikiLeaks publiceert SMSjes 911

Met dank aan ‘Jimmy Devil Rocket Science’ op fark:

Okay folks, I’ve culled some of the more interesting ones here for your reading pleasure. Many of the messages are broken into packets, so I have taken the step of combining the packets to make them easier to read, omitting the timestamps from later packets. I am also blanking out the phone numbers and email addresses to stay within the Fark.com rules. Those are the only changes I have made to these messages.

As far as I can tell, this one is the very first human reckoning of the attacks by text.

2001-09-11 08:47:46 Arch [0901509] B ALPHA Someone just told me there was an explosion at wtc….BR

This one is a bit more chilling, and requires some explanation.

2001-09-11 08:47:48 Arch [0902592] A ALPHA regularlist 09/11/01 08:47 BFH-2-FHS :> 4002 LINE DOWN (‘CANTOR_SPEED: 09/11/01 08:47:09: LINEDOWN: stop the DQA heartbeat now’ in cantor_speed_page.log) #1

That message is apparently the first non-human reckoning of the WTC attack by text.

Cantor Fitzgerald (pops) occupied the five floors directly above the impact site of the first plane. No Cantor Fitzgerald employee who was in the tower that day escaped. The company lost more than 2/3 of their entire workforce. That text was most likely sent to one of their IT people, who may very well have been in the tower and thus needed no reminding that the network had stopped pinging.

Here’s another automated message related to the same office.

2001-09-11 08:48:46 Arch [0162912] A ALPHA PAGE FROM lifeline: alert 8933585 ETS appl nbetpsd27.fi.gs.com ETS RTCE: – Market data inconsistent…Cantor API problem Trading system offline on nbetpsd27.fi.gs.com, run by etsuser on nbetpsd27, pid = 24277

GS.com is, of course, Goldman Sachs (pops).

The next message that directly relates to the attack comes two minutes later. The content of the message speak for itself. Quite a few of these went out, all identical.

2001-09-11 08:50:31 Skytel [003260422] B ALPHA An Aloha call is starting . This is for a fire at 2WT. Please call into TeleMeeting conference center at -877-XXX-XXXX . If Morgan Stanley has not initiated the call you will hear music until they initiate the call. Dallas Data Center Operations 9/11/01 7:49:49 AM

People begin to turn on their televisions.

It’s unclear who this one is to or from, but this text may very well have saved someone’s life.

You can go to the bank on the fact that the end is very nigh for 911 liars, stalkers, slanderers.

As for those who say that it’s not appropriate to release personal messages that were texted on 911…. People deserve the truth… What is not right [much less appropriate] is the continual lies and slander that has gone on for years.

Karma can be a b!tch. Justice is coming and those who deserve their “just desserts” will be finally getting them.

Kijk aan. Het lijkt erop alsof we het uitgesprokener deel van yankenland ook aantrekken met dit soort topics. ‘Why don’t you have a seat over there ?’
