AN interactive timeline chronicling the September 11, 2001 attacks hour-by-hour has gone online, with a fast-forward button to skip any video or audio accounts too disturbing for the visitor.
The virtual exhibit was organized by the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, which is building a structure at Ground Zero in lower Manhattan, New York, to honor almost 3,000 victims killed in the 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
Until the building opens in September 2011, anyone interested in how that historic day unfolded can find out at http://timeline.national911memorial.org.
"This timeline is a real attempt to organize what was an incredibly chaotic day into a format that's accessible for people to learn from," said Joe Daniels, the president of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.
The timeline begins at 5:45am with video showing hijackers Mohammed Atta and Abdulaziz al-Omari passing through security in Boston's Logan Airport just prior to boarding American Airlines Flight 11, the first to slam into the north tower of the World Trade Center.
The timeline ends with then-President George W. Bush's televised address to the nation at 8:30pm that night.
Organizers of the timeline took particular care to allow online visitors to view and hear only what they feel comfortable absorbing, and included a fast-forward button to skip anything particularly disturbing.
