More On 9/11 Emergency Calls Released In March

NEW YORK (CBS) ― The city is releasing more than 1,600 previously undisclosed Sept. 11 emergency calls -- several by rescuers who later were killed -- after fire department officials said they discovered hundreds of internal dispatches of firefighters who went to rescue people from the burning World Trade Center. The 1,613 calls being made public Wednesday also include 10 previously unreleased 911 calls made by people trapped in the twin towers, although those calls will include only the voices of the operators who heard their pleas.

The transcripts of about 130 911 calls from people trapped in the towers were released in March, including only the voices of the operators, emergency responders and other public employees. The callers' voices were edited out after city attorneys argued that their pleas for help were too emotional and intense to be publicized without their families' consent. Thousands of pages of emergency workers' oral histories and radio transmissions were released last August.

Below are links to the previously released audio clips and transcripts, as well as WCBSTV.com's news coverage from March:
