The Bottom Line CNN.COM, NYTIMES.COM and WSBRADIO.COM continue to offer accurate online information that I can trust about the terrorist attacks.
When our business meeting was interrupted because of the terrorist attacks upon New York City on September 11, 2001, we immediately tried to find out information concerning what was going on and the ramifications of those actions. Since our offices are on the far end of the building and there's no television available readily, we depended on our Internet connections and radio to give us an accurate picture of what was happening. Based on their performance and continuing ability to provide accurate information, I believe these are the most reliable areas to check online for the continuing situation of the situation in New York City and the rest of our world. CNN.COM For years, I have trusted CNN on television to give information that is quick, accurate, and trustworthy. Because these events happened when I was at work though, without a means to watch television, I immediately found myself drawn to CNN.COM to find out just exactly was going on so that I could prepare for action. After realizing that the number of hits to their server was overloading their system, CNN.COM took effective measures to change their entire front page format to a plane text based page on white with hyperlinks so that it would load effectively and quickly to allow more individuals to be able to know what was going on. In addition they increased their server capability with amazing speed to even more access. This ability to change during a time of crisis has impressed me and as the days have gone by, I have been able to view information that I know is the truth and not a rumor. NYTIMES.COM Another absolutely incredible web site with information concerning the terrorism in New York City is NYTIMES.COM. Even before this situation had occurred, I was a subscriber of its online newspaper receiving the headlines in my mailbox every day. Throughout this entire situation, the NYTIMES.COM web site has made an effort to produce the most detailed information in a format that is easy to read and understand. In addition, there's a separate section on the far right of the front page with immediate and up to date information on the following: Relief Efforts Transportation Information Closings, Cancellations and Service Notices Affected Businesses Partial List of Victims How to Help the Neediest of Cases The NYTIMES.COM format is very easy to read and understand, presenting itself in a live action newspaper format. This incredible newspaper has always impressed me, and their online version impresses me even more. WSBRADIO.COM Now, on a different note, I would like to make a recommendation for those individuals in the Atlanta Metropolitan area concerning an excellent web site that has absolutely up to date information during crisis situations such as the one all of us felt on September 11, 2001. While New York City was in crisis, Atlanta went into crisis as well with numerous businesses closing for the day causing a mass exodus from the city. WSBRADIO.COM as well as its live radio station affiliates kept information flowing to the public in an easy to understand fashion causing less panic among the residents of this area. Their ability to continue to publish the lists of affected businesses, schools, and so forth affected by closures as well as giving up to date traffic information really helped keep a sense of peace during a crisis situation. Even today, there is information about events that have been affected even now by this situation, so that Atlanta residents will know if any of their activities have been changed or cancelled. Thoughts Naturally, there are other online outlets that provide good information concerning this and other crisis situations other than these three. However, in my personal opinion, these three online web sites have been the ones that I knew that I could trust beyond a shadow of a doubt to give me the information that I needed in a way that I could understand so that I could prepare my family for any changes in routine or for protection. Therefore, I highly recommend CNN.COM, NYTIMES.COM, and WSBRADIO.COM for their outstanding information during these terrorist attacks, and in the future when other situations will occur, I will go to these outlets for the fastest and most accurate information.  |
