At first, the High-Rise Safety Initiative sounds innocuous enough. Its stated mission: to "require the NYC Department of Buildings to investigate high-rise building collapses in NYC" that occurred on September 11, 2001 or after, excluding the World Trade Center Twin Towers.

Prog rock. It's socially aware. It's high concept. It's the Nostradamus of 1970s pot-smoking teens. And it totally knew the Trade Center towers were going down in a (thermite) fireball, man.

The Mystery 9/11 Hijacker Photos No One Has Ever Seen

J.K. Trotter · 09/11/13 03:18PM

So here’s a mystery. In response to a recent Freedom of Information Act request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation provided Gawker with a curious case file, dated May 2002, indicating the bureau’s acquisition of three photos of 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta. The photos, which remain classified, were “recovered from a passenger who was on board Spirit Airlines Flight 460 on August 23, 2001” — that is, on a flight between Fort Lauderdale and Newark, nearly three weeks before September 11. As far as we can tell, the existence of the photographs has never been publicized.

Remembering 9/11: An Educational Pageant

Tom Scocca · 09/11/13 02:55PM

On this September 11, another year further removed from the events of 2001, many Americans have seemingly lost focus on the significance of what happened. As the attacks move toward history's horizon, like the Civil War and Thanksgiving before them, Gawker offers an educational resource to help America's schoolteachers explain and preserve the meaning of the day. This pageant may be staged with 20 to 25 children, depending on class size. For younger grades, the teacher may serve as the Narrator.
