01 WATCH THE ACTUAL RECORD

The signal is real.

Every tile opens its original archive player or official publication—never a fabricated preview.

PRIMARY SOURCES · OPEN WITH CONTEXT

September 11, 2001: oral histories

Firsthand testimony preserved by the Library of Congress. These records are separated from entertainment, excluded from random discovery, and presented with content notices.

02 THE ORIGINAL LAYOUTS

Don’t crop the decade. Turn its pages.

Period typography, photography, diagrams, and print texture survive together in complete issues. The reader opens the official scan in place.

03 KEEP FALLING

A commercial becomes a film becomes a magazine.

This is the continuous loop: start with a thirty-second pitch, drift into a classroom film, then open a full issue from the same visual world.

VICTIMS FIRST · NON-GRAPHIC · SEPARATE FROM ENTERTAINMENT

Remember the lives. Refuse the spectacle.

A solemn record of major fatal U.S. school shootings since Columbine, built around community remembrance—not the people who caused the harm.

No offender portraits or names.If an essential historical reference ever requires one, only initials may appear.

Defined scopeU.S. K–12 and higher-education shootings from April 20, 1999 onward in which at least four victims died at the school. Offenders are never counted; directly connected later or off-campus deaths appear only when the card explains them. Other databases use different definitions.
