About

NYCstories.com was launched in August of 2001 intending to be a place where people could share tales about the Big Apple. One month later the towers fell. In the days following the attack New Yorkers seemingly only spoke of one thing—recounting stories about what happened on September 11th.

Several weeks after the towers fell I noticed that conversations began to shift back to the everyday. Vivid memories diminish over time and eventually disappear completely. The stories contained here where collected about two to four weeks after 9/11. In addition to survivor stories, this website also holds popular electronic folklore that circulated the Internet during the weeks and months that followed. For the ten year anniversary I posted My 9/11, which features one hour of never before seen video footage from September 11, 2001.
