Social media account will live post 9/11 minute by minute

( NewsNation ) — An account on social platform X is set to post live updates on Friday as if the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were happening in real time — commemorating the 25th anniversary of the tragic events.

The account, 2001 Live , has been reposting news events from that year, illustrating how the time frame might have been viewed through the lens of current social media and is curated by Manny Marotta .

In a recent post, Marotta noted that there are currently 410 planned posts, which averages to a post every one to three minutes.

The posts will be posted manually, not automated, and will not include graphic images or video, according to the FAQ .

“I watched 240 hours of video footage, from news reporting to on-the-ground stringers to eyewitness testimony to academic documents, with the intent to form the most accurate-possible timeline of the event,” Marotta said in the post.

“I also had people professionally associated with and familiar with the event provide their own research, which was helpful,” he continued. “I did my very best to corroborate stories for accuracy and gather every possible detail of the day, and I hope that my work was adequate.”

It is not the only account on X dedicated to giving audiences a different perspective on historical events. One popular account, Real Time WWII , retweeted the events of the Second World War starting in 1941. It was run by an employee at the Museum of London.

As with the WWII account, Marotta’s project has spanned multiple years, beginning with his tweets about the events in 1997.

Although he is too young to remember 9/11 , Marotta said he is including it as part of his coverage of history. He also issued content guidelines around the topic.

“There was no conspiracy related to the September 11 attacks,” the X user wrote. “Those who seriously entertain conspiracy theories in the comments will be blocked.”
