For the first time in the six years I’d lived in New York City, it was utterly quiet. From shortly after the first tower fell to just before the second crashed down to the ground — a span of about 30 minutes — I felt like I was the only person in Manhattan. The light came down through the ash-filled air like the soft rays of a Renaissance painting. The neo-Gothic skyscrapers that framed the street seemed to form the nave of a cathedral. It was simultaneously the most weirdly beautiful and numbingly terrible moment I’ve experienced in New York.

shortformblog: United Flight 93, in voicemail form: The San Jose Mercury News got a hold of the voicemails to United Airlines Flight 93 passenger Mark Bingham. All sorts of people were trying to get a hold of Mark that day, who many now believe was one of the people who attempted to reclaim the plane from the hijackers. The voicemails start with “are you OK”-type messages, then notes of concern, then — after folks heard of his death — regret, remorse and appreciation for what he did. (A notable exception is his own mother, a former flight attendant with United, who tells him in her voicemail to fight back in an effort to save lives.) You’ll want to click this one and read closely. And, after you’re done, read the story that goes with it. We’d say this is the best newspaper page you’ll read about September 11, but that really gives all the other ones short shrift. There are many, many well-designed pages today. Charles Apple has a roundup.

“The police are the authors of most crime narratives and the press’s role often is a stenographic one."

An article on Jan. 16 about drilling for oil off the coast of Angola erroneously reported a story about cows falling from planes, as an example of risks in any engineering endeavor. No cows, smuggled or otherwise, ever fell from a plane into a Japanese fishing rig.
