For many in New York and Washington, Sept. 11, 2001, was a personal experience, an attack on their cities. Most everywhere else in the world, it was a television event. TV's commemoration as the 10th anniversary approaches on Sunday puts that day in many different contexts. There is one place, however, for people to see the Sept. 11 attacks and the week after as they unfolded, without any filters. The Internet Archive, a California-based organization that collects audio, moving images and Web pages for historical purposes, has put together a television news archive of that day's coverage. More than 20 channels were recorded with more than 3,000 hours of television. Besides major U.S. networks like ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC, the Internet Archive has posted online TV recordings from Moscow, Paris, London, Baghdad, Tokyo, Ottawa and elsewhere. The site is available at http://www.archive.org/details/911/day. The material is valuable to researchers, but the Internet Archive wanted to make it easy to use so the general public can go back and see what that day was like, said Brewster Kahle, the organization's director. "It is one of the top four or five events that have happened on television," Kahle said. "You can think of putting a man on the moon, the Watergate hearings, the Kennedy assassination. I'm hopeful that people will come to this and make their own decisions about how they want to think about it, as opposed to politicians who have been pushing and pulling the event for years." The archive begins at 8 a.m. ET, or 46 minutes before American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. (Read by Christine Mallari.

對很多紐約人和華盛頓人來說， 9?11事件是一種親身經(jīng)歷，是他們所在城市遭遇的恐怖襲擊。而對世界上其它地區(qū)的大多數(shù)人來說，這只是電視上看到的一起事件。 本周日是9?11恐怖襲擊十周年，電視播放的紀念報道對這起事件進行了不同的解讀。但人們可以在“互聯(lián)網(wǎng)檔案館”全面了解9?11襲擊和之后一周的情景，而且，“不加碼”。 “互聯(lián)網(wǎng)檔案館”近日整理出9?11當天的電視新聞報道資料。該機構(gòu)總部位于加州，以記錄歷史為目的，搜集相關(guān)音視頻及網(wǎng)頁資料。 該機構(gòu)記錄了20多個頻道的9?11電視報道，時長超過三千小時。除了美國各大新聞機構(gòu)，如美國廣播公司、哥倫比亞廣播公司、美國有線新聞網(wǎng)、以及國家廣播公司等，“互聯(lián)網(wǎng)檔案館”還上傳了來自莫斯科、巴黎、倫敦、巴格達、東京、渥太華等地的電視報道。 上傳地址為http://www.archive.org/ details/911/day. 該機構(gòu)的主管布魯斯特?卡利表示，這些資料對研究人員來說價值很高，但“互聯(lián)網(wǎng)檔案館”想讓大家都能便捷地看到，這樣普通公眾就能回顧這起恐怖襲擊事件。 卡利說：“9?11恐怖襲擊事件在電視報道大事排行榜上能排到前四、五位，和人類登月、水門事件、肯尼迪遇刺這些事情差不多。我希望人們來看看這段歷史，形成自己的看法，并且有異于那些對這起事件長年爭論不休的政客?！?/p> 這些檔案將于美國東部時間9月11日早8點開放。2001年9月11日8點46分，美航11號航班撞向世貿(mào)大廈北塔。 相關(guān)閱讀 （中國日報網(wǎng)英語點津 Julie 編輯：馮明惠） |
