in '09 wikileaks released a dump of pager data from 09/10/01 to 09/12/01, capturing the period immediately before and after the attacks.

there's some interesting poo poo in there, especially as pagers are (almost) obsolete today except for a few professions like doctors.

here are some examples I found, albeit not necessarily on-topic:

Welcome to your new job here at the north tower of the world trade centre. I'm sure you'll fit in just fine. On your way out remind my secretary to send flowers to my wife as it's her birthday, today, 11th September 2001. Oh would you look at the time, I'm going to miss my 9am meeting.
