A newly released package of audio tapes and transcripts chronicling the responses of civil and military aviation personnel to the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, gives a 360-degree view of the events of that morning.

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 and 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.

  • @MentallyJuiced Sometimes laughing is a reaction to shock and horror. I was in a huge earthquake this year that killed 181 people and straight after it I was told that Iaughed. Just purely out of shock and disbelief.

  • listening to these tapes give me major goose bumps. i mean, seriously, we're listening to an audio clip of a flight attendant (rip) who died moments later. i don't think the word "shocking" covers it... gosh it feels like it just happened yesterday; hard to believe its already been 10 years...

  • I feel like facts were really hidden in this situation and for some reason, there are certain things that can't be explained. that being said, news media of all kinds have the opportunity to lie, so that can mean our regular channels like fox and msnbc, and the alternative sources claiming to unlock the conspiracy behind it, so really it is a very personal choice what you believe in; however, i don't think anyone is in disagreement about how horrific this event was and the effect it had.

  • Tell me how a.Boeing 747 is gonna make a little hole like that into the Pentagon haha
