Releasing 9/11 911 calls
I think they are part of the public record but some people feel strongly that they shouldn't be released. Your thoughts?

Ditto....It would be so hard for a widower to hear her husband's frantic call in the news or something like that.

Re: Releasing 9/11 911 calls
I don't get why they need to be released to the public...
The families-- I definitely understand.
But what is the public to learn from hearing them?

I think it shows how the police, city officials, etc responded to a crisis. I think it is important for crisis management analysis.

You have to.
All 911 calls are public information. If you start making some calls not public...will it is imho that you are walking a slippery slope.

I think they're part of public record - as are every other 911 call. They should be treated no different - personally identifiable information can be edited out.

i agree. i really think that the victims need to rest. people will argue that you dont want to forget them - but honestly i know i never will. i think a lot of us will forever remember that day so vividly, remember the fear, the sadness, and the helplessness.
i think part of the greiving process is moving on. that day will forever play in my heart - i really dont want to hear the desperation of those poor victims on the 5 o'clock news...IMO

Gotcha. Thanks. Absolutely makes sense.
I guess I was thinking more along the lines of them releasing them for the drama aspect.

I agree. I heard one call on the news and I just started crying. I cannot imagine

Me too. I understand why they've been released, but I've had to change channels. It's still awfully raw.
