Techies Reshape 9/11 History
Instant PDF and print availability of the 9/11 Commission Report wasn’t enough for some Internet users, who quickly bent the public report to their will. Within hours, versions of the long-awaited document in Notepad, HTML and enhanced PDF sprouted online as people sought to make the information even more accessible and usable.
PDF versions of the report (PDF) and an executive summary were published online simultaneously July 22 at 11:30 a.m. EST by the commission and the Government Printing Office. At the same time, printed versions published by W.W. Norton and the GPO went on sale. The book quickly became a bestseller.
