I don’t know that The Daily Mail is a news site to trust… but, I think this article is worth a look. After the 9/11 attack most news sites went text-only to even be able to deliver info. This article has screenshots: 9/11 and how readers followed drama with no Facebook or Twitter

So bad memories... of events from which we learned absolutely nothing.

@numericcitizen There was certainly no shortage of things to learn — some people probably learned a lot about how governments can work.
