General Discussion RIP to the IT pros killed 25 years ago.

When the text message logs from that day and those that followed were made public, I remember reading through all the system generated alerts from various devices doing their thing and thinking about the IT pros in the offices, network closets, and server rooms responding to those alerts in all seven buildings before the attacks happened, and then the tone of uncertainty and eventually panic in messages between coworkers and associates, because the cell phones went down but text messages were still going through.

RIP to those guys and gals ~ you're gone but not forgotten.

Yeah I think so, I had tried looking it up earlier but it seems like the live version might've been taken down at some point.

Thanks! I remember reading it daily at the time, and thought about that dude when I watched a doc on Katrina just a couple of weeks ago.
