A whistle-blowing Web site has posted more than 573,000 pager messages sent on Sept. 11, 2001.
The message were sent by federal and local officials, but most appeared to be from regular people, including frantic people trying to reach loved ones in and around the World Trade Center.
The Web site -- Wikileaks.org -- says it received the messages anonymously and will continue to publish them, in the order they were sent, until 3am tomorrow.
BTW: The messages have been authenticated and they're real.
Here are some of those messages.
