September 11, 2001 TVnews archive is back! |
Many people worked very hard in the month following September 11th, 2001 to make a historic collection of TVnews available. This was lauched at the First Amendment Center outside of Washington DC on October 11th, 2001. Unfortunately 2 years later it was taken down in a datacenter move.
The Internet Archive, working pro-bono for the Television Archive, has brought much of it back up here.
Some of these material is not available anywhere else.
Please comment on how you have been able to make use of this resource, and what would help you further, so that future collections can become better able to aid research and education.

Re: September 11, 2001 TVnews archive is back! |
Brewster,
Thank you for all the great stuff on Archive.org!!
Some years ago, when the archive posted a downloadable version of the human genome, I was one of the first persons to download it. I’m not a mad scientist, I have no purpose for it, I don’t even really understand it. A huge text file spanning many disks with combinations of only four letters. What struck me is that if enough people had copies of it, the potential for its abuse could be minimized because it could always be re-mirrored into the public domain. Maybe a waste of disks, but what a conversation piece!
After the Septemeber 11 attacks, President Bush told Americans to remain vigilant. I wonder what could be more vigilant than studying the unedited footage of the attacks as they happened? Although the copyright ownership of the footage does belong to the respective networks, the message sent out by our President should have indicated enough common sense that the historical significance of these events should absolutely outweigh any private motives for profit. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but that by itself promotes suspicion, without looking at any other external facts. Why should such a thing ever be removed from public access?
After viewing the few files I did get, I noticed that Ross department stores had an advertisement for “fashion 9-1-1” about a minute before NBC started their first news report about the attacks. That is a weird coincidence, but that’s about all I got out of it.

I'm loving this, thanks.
I have one question though. I downloaded a 1 gig good quality version of the first CNN coverage here some months back. this was when you only had a few clips of the news coverage. Now, it appears all I can get is streaming. I assume it was changed due to copyright reasons?
It's a shame, I was really looking forward to getting the first two hours of coverage from a few networks in dvd-quality video so I could burn a dvd for each network. I guess I'll just have to be content with watching it on my computer in a smaller resolution.

This site is absolutely phenomenal. It is the most detailed site available containing live coverage of the events as the unfolded on September 11, 2001. For anyone that wishes to view the history of this event from zero hour - there's no better source.
Thanks to each and every person who was able to bring these archives back up for use. You truly have provided a phenomenal resource. Thank you!

Re: September 11, 2001 TVnews archive is back! |
Does anybody know where the reports of Middle Eastern men in a white van first appear? I remember a lot of talk about this on the local radio here in the DC area, but I'm finding it very difficult to follow up on.
Also, does anybody know why the 9/11 16:51 to 17:33 ABC 7 segment is missing?

Re: September 11, 2001 TVnews archive is back! |
I am attempting to open the first NBC archive file (831am) from Sept 11, but the streaming file (arrived at after clicking on the green play arrow saying "click to play now") seems to be loading now for about 20 minutes. The animated bars in the file progress bar continue to cycle, but without any effect. This happens for all the various files in the Sept 11 archive. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Is it a Flash item then? I thought it might be Real Player. I am at work now, and we don't have Real on the systems, so that would have explained it.
Has it taken a while to load in your experience? Any other suggestions?
Thanks so much for putting this up. It is so useful and a valuable resource!
