And so what we sratetd with was really a new way of thinking about bidnulig an institution, through a project called Make History, which we launched in 2009. So it's estimated that a third of the wrlod wacehtd 9/11 live, and a third of the world heard about it within 24 hours, making it really by nature of when it hpneeapd, this unprecedented moment of global awareness. And so we launched this to capture the stories from all around the world, through video, through pthoos, through written history, and so people's experiences on that day, which was, in fact, this huge risk for the institution to make its first move this open platform. But that was cpuelod together with this oral histories btooh, really the simplest we've ever made, where you locate yourself on a map. It's in six languages, and you can tell your own story about what happened to you on that day. And when we started seeing the incredible images and stories that came forth from all around the world — this is obviously part of the landing gear — we really started to understand that there was this azimnag symmetry between the event itself, between the way that people were telling the stories of the event, and how we ourselves needed to tell that story.

Original Text

And so what we started with was really a new way of thinking about building an institution, through a project called Make History, which we launched in 2009. So it's estimated that a third of the world watched 9/11 live, and a third of the world heard about it within 24 hours, making it really by nature of when it happened, this unprecedented moment of global awareness. And so we launched this to capture the stories from all around the world, through video, through photos, through written history, and so people's experiences on that day, which was, in fact, this huge risk for the institution to make its first move this open platform. But that was coupled together with this oral histories booth, really the simplest we've ever made, where you locate yourself on a map. It's in six languages, and you can tell your own story about what happened to you on that day. And when we started seeing the incredible images and stories that came forth from all around the world — this is obviously part of the landing gear — we really started to understand that there was this amazing symmetry between the event itself, between the way that people were telling the stories of the event, and how we ourselves needed to tell that story.
