InformationWeek: The Business Value of Technology

Our Coverage | Talking It Out | Compelling Stories, Compelling People | Resources | More InformationWeek Coverage

Plenty of urban legends have sprung up regarding the tragedy, as summarized in a CNN article, 9/11, True And False. If you want to keep up to date on such things, also check out http://www.snopes.com.

The Times (of London) published a global breakdown of those who perished in the World Trade Center disaster--i.e. how many people from other countries are missing or dead.

One worthwhile story--with an IT component--is CNN's We The Living: One Company That Made It, a personal anecdote from an IT company that successfully escaped the World Trade Center. One employee had the presence of mind to grab the backup tapes. Check out the results of the poll, which asked readers how likely they would have been to grab the tapes.

This site compiles links to several Flash infographics related to the tragedy, such as an animation from Clarin (in Buenos Aires) showing the scale of the World Trade Center to tallest building in Buenos Aires.

This company Web site offers a nice memorial to three employees who were visiting clients at the World Trade Center on Sept.11 and remain missing. A pop-up box shows their pictures and has a list of resources.
