Honoring Those Lost on 9/11/01
WNYC and WQXR in New York are crowd-sourcing suggestions for a musical remembrance of the events of 9/11/01 and the passing of a decade since the attacks.
This is an opportunity for each of us to contribute. Details are below.
What music would you like to hear as you think about the events of 10 years ago? What music would you like to share with your fellow New Yorkers?
WNYC and WQXR want to enhance the spirit of this anniversary for all of our listeners. So we are creating a special playlist of music of all genres suggested by listeners to mark the occasion. We want you to be a part of it.
Your suggestions will be played on a special online stream that will launch in early September on WNYC.org and WQXR.org. And the songs will be used to program both stations on the afternoon of September 11, 2011.
If you leave a suggestion, please consider leaving a story to go with it, so we can tell it as part of this project. Even better, you can tell it yourself by calling our dedicated suggestion line.
To participate, please call 1-800-543-2543 or fill out the survey here.
> See the pieces that have already been suggested.
You’ll be able to listen to the Measuring Time project beginning at noon, Sunday September 11, on 93.9 FM. It’s all part of a weekend of special programming from WNYC devoted to the anniversary. We’ll post a complete listing of all our 9/11 Tenth Anniversary specials in early August.

This is perhaps the greatest commercial of all time. It only ran once - during the 2002 Super Bowl.

“I was excited to take shots of the sun rising up from the curvature of the earth,” he wrote in a message to Lens. “Monday night, I took this photo at about 9 p.m., on 9/10/01. For 12 more hours, they would stand as a tall beacon into the night sky of Manhattan. The next morning, I had overslept and missed the sunrise. Still on a mission to get to breakfast, I was on my way out the door when the first plane crashed.”

We will never forget the events of September 11, 2001 and, no matter how far the day recedes into history, the pain never lessens - it just becomes less raw.
These photos were taken by my friend Chris Pickle from her apartment on September 11, 2007.
