The September 11 attacks, in addition to being a unique act of aggression, constituted a media event on a scale not seen since the advent of civilian global satellite links, round-the-clock television news organizations and the instant worldwide reaction and debate made possible by the Internet. As a result, most of the events listed below were known by a large portion of the planet's population as they occurred.
Events [edit]
Below is an hour-by-hour breakdown of the events based on the Timeline for the day of the September 11 attacks Wikipedia article. Generating dynamic content with MediaWiki can help to create "re-enactments" of important historical events for use on Portals and Featured pages that "unfold" as the events did in actual time.
The events section on the Wikipedia article is 46 kilobytes long. We'll be breaking this big page into subpages so that dialup users, and those using mobile devices or old ancient browsers can edit and access pages without difficulties or delays. To do this, we'll use parser functions to create and access subpages to Timeline for the day of the September 11 attacks (currently a redirect to here):
- Timeline for the day of the September 11 attacks/06/00 trough Timeline for the day of the September 11 attacks/23/30.
- /06/00 has the first hour
