The Voices of 9-11: The Story of the FAA and NORAD Response to the September 11, 2001, Attacks

"The story of the day, of 9/11 itself, is best told in the voices of 9/11," said Miles Kara, a retired Army colonel and an investigator for the September 11 Commission, in a recent New York Times report.

Included here is a selection of recordings of Federal Aviation Administration, Defense Department, and American Airlines communications from September 11, 2001. You will hear air traffic controllers, military aviation officers, airline and fighter jet pilots, as well as two of the hijackers, during two hours of that historic morning.

Transcripts and some of the recordings have been released previously, but not the complete "audio monograph", as it was described by the September 11 Commission. The recordings were originally intended to be part of the Commissions' 2004 report on the terrorist attacks, but were not ready in time for a legal review before the Commission finished its work. They have now been released in their entirety.

No reflection on you whatsoever, in posting this--you post whatever you find, the good, bad, and the ugly. But I failed to be impressed, when I received my email about the Sale and skimmed over it.

First, I don't consider $7.00 per audio book a particularly good deal. The price of Audible's Daily Deals is usually well below that. The most common price point for the audio book companion to a Amazon book is $7.50.

< < < < < < < < And I've been a member of Audible long enough to remember that these sales used to offer prices of $4 and $5, routinely--sometimes even $3. Inflation can't can't even come close to accounting for that.

Enough about price. I've failed to be impressed, in these Editor's Sales, with the titles offered in the sales. All that I'll say is the editors at Audible, on the 12th floor of some building in metropolitan New York, do not seem to have the same tastes as people in middle America and Florida (yes, here in the deep, deep South, Florida. We have native Floridian "Crackers," "snowbirds," people down here to work, you name the demographic category).

I hate to be such a curmudgeon (Actually, I love it ).

Rental FAQ

• Spoiler:

  When does my rental period begin?
  
  Your rental timer will begin counting down when you first initiate the download on your device or 10 days after purchase, whichever comes first.

  How long can I listen to a title?
  
  All digital rentals provide a minimum of 30 days to listen to a book from the time you initiate your first download. With some of our longer books, such as Atlas Shrugged (63hrs), we extend the listening period to 60 days. You do have the option of purchasing a 5, 10, or 20 day extension after you have made your rental purchase.

  How many times can I listen to my rental?
  
  You may listen to a rental as many times as you would like until it expires.

  Can I extend my rental time period?
  
  Once you are logged into your Downpour.com account, you can purchase a time extension for any of your previous rentals via THIS link. After clicking “Extend Rental,” you have the option of purchasing a 5-day ($1.95), 10-day ($2.95) or 20-day ($4.95) extension. If your rental has not yet expired, the purchased time will be added onto your rental. (Example: if your rental has one day remaining, and you purchase a five-day extension, you will now have six days total before your rental expires.) If your rental has already expired, the extension will allow you to listen to your book again for the amount of time purchased.

  Can I have the same rental on more than one device?
  
  You may listen to your audiobook rental on as many personal devices as you own. Your rental time will be synced across all devices on which you have installed the Downpour app.
