The New York Times waged a legal battle to have the records released under the Freedom of Information Act.
A rich vein of city records from Sept. 11, [2001 World Trade Center attacks] including more than 12,000 pages of oral histories rendered in the voices of 503 firefighters, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians, were made public on Aug. 12. The New York Times has published all of them.
You can read through all the records (they’re in PDF format) and listen to MP3s of FDNY radio traffic from 9/11.
I haven’t been able to listen to all of the files yet, or even begun reading through the written reports, but I suspect that’s what I will be doing all weekend.
