A set of audio documents prepared by Commission investigators found that the September 11 attacks in the U.S., but never completed and released, was published by the American newspaper "New York Times" on Wednesday (7). With some audio clips available online in the journal (in English), the documents reveal 114 recordings of air traffic controllers, military aviation officials, airline pilots and fighter jets as well as two of the hijackers - all recorded by two hours on the morning of September 11, 2001.Although some of the audios have been released over the years, especially in public hearings and the criminal trial, the report provides a rare view of 360 degrees of the events taking place at high speed, in heaven and on earth. This week, the complete document, with the recordings, is first published, the publication Rutgers Law Review.Most of the works of the document - which the team members of the commission called "audio monograph" - was completed in 2004, not long to go through a lengthy legal review before the Commission have been closed in August.The chilling transcripts and tapes released by the Rutgers Law Review show the rapid, nerve-wracking attempts from those on the ground to quickly figure out the situation as it escalated and come up with a quick response."The story of the day, of 9/11 itself, is best told in the voices of 9/11," Miles Kara, an investigator for the 9/11 Commission an a retired Army colonel, tells The New York Timesin its piece on the transcripts and tapes.The package includes 114 recordings of air traffic controllers, military aviation officers, airline and fighter jet pilots, and two of the hijackers, covering two hours of the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, according to the Times.Some of the audio has been available to the public over the years, but it is now all available, together.Among the tapes and transcripts are this exchange that took place after one plane had already crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center:"Do you know if anyone down there has done any coordination to scramble fighter-type airplanes?" asked a manager of air traffic control in New York of Federal Aviation Administration headquarters in Herndon, Va. "We have several situations going, going on here. It is escalating big, big time and we need to get the military involved with us.""Why, what's going on?" a man in Herndon asked."Just get me somebody who has the authority to get military in the air, now," the manager responded.The package, however, does not include two key segments that remain restricted or classified, Kara told the Times. One is about a half hour of the cockpit recording from United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania. Families of some of the people who were on board have objected to that release, according to the Times.Another segment is a secret recording of a conference call that grew, over the morning, to include Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Gen. Richard Myers, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Times reported.
