9-11 names ceremony

Written by Steve Rhodes
Published September 11, 2002

The official ceremony has begun and the names of the victims are being read. CBS is displaying a picture of each person and their age which makes it a bit less abstract. ABC is showing the photo and briefly talking about some of the names as they are called. Dan Rather says CBS will contiune to show the photos even when they break away for other coverage (such as the Pentagon ceremony which they are now showing a bit after 9:30).

The New York Times Portraits of Grief consists of more than 1800 short profiles of the victims (as of this morning the official death toll is 3025). You can view them alphabetically and look at some of the profiles as their names are called (as I write this they are on names beginning with C). There will be a documentary on the profiles project tonight on Discovery and the PBS Newshour did a piece last year.

Steve Rhodes is a journalist and photographer in San Francisco.
