Shortly after September 11, 2001, NPR's Lost & Found Sound brought together radio producers, artists, historians, archivists, and the public broadcasting community to collect and preserve audio traces of the World Trade Center, its neighborhood and the events of 9/11.
We opened a Sonic Memorial phone line and hundreds of people from around the world have called sharing their stories and recordings—making this a dramatic, unprecedented audio archive of immediate, first–person accounts chronicling a historic event from almost every vantage point. We never could have imagined all that is out there–tapes of weddings atop the World Trade Center, recordings of the buildings’ elevators and revolving doors, home videos made by a lawyer in his 42nd floor office, sounds of the Hudson river front, recordings of late night Spanish radio drifting through the halls as Latino workers clean the offices, an interview with the piano player at Windows on the World, voicemail messages from people who worked in the World Trade Center.
To share your story call (646) 926-1357.
