What Google looked like on 09/11/01

As if we needed any more reminders of what a dark day it was 5 years ago, check out the Google homepage from September 11, 2001. The addition of a few simple sentences to Google’s otherwise barren homepage gave me the chills. “Breaking News: Attacks hit U.S. Many online news services are not available because of high demand . . .” More than 80% of the top 500 queries on that day were related to the terrorist attacks.
