World Trade Center after September 11, 2001 as seen from space.
New York City Stories
This website was launched in August of 2001. It was meant to be a place where people could share stories about New York City. One month later the towers fell. In the weeks following the attack, New Yorkers seemingly only spoke of one thing—recounting stories about what happened on September 11th.
After several weeks had passed, conversations began to shift back to everyday things. Vivid memories diminish over time, and possibly/eventually disappear completely. The purpose of this website memorial was to capture first-hand survivor stories when they were fresh on people’s minds.
In addition to stories, this memorial also holds some of the most popular electronic folklore that circulated the Internet during the weeks and months following the September 11th attacks.
Please Note: The stories and folklore contained in this website do not represent Vanadia.com or NYCstories.com. The electronic folklore is simply an archive and is intended for mature audiences. Proceed with caution.
