In the aftermath of the plane attacks and the Anthrax crisis that followed, life as usual became a problem for the Hashers, a colorful group of runners who mark their routes with a trail of flour, while drinking heavily. (Who are the hashers?) We have selected thirty email messages to capture the lively exchanges which capture discussions in the Hasher community in the days after the attacks, when the flour they used for their hashing became the object of some public anxiety. Note: these links go directly to the original text of email messages taken from Hasher email discussions; some contain adult language not suited for children. See our policy on fair use for the terms under which they are reproduced here. 09/11/01 Explosions Pentagon on FIRE 09/11/01 Explosions Spits It Out is safe and out - she was working in Wedge 9 I am still linked in through the server... 09/11/01 Pentagon Attack I know that I'm not the only hasher (or family of hasher) who was at the Pentagon when the plane struck this morning, and I'm hoping we don't have any among the victims of the attack.... 09/12/01 Sad News My company has just sent out an email saying that 5 of our co-workers were on the planes that crashed in NYC and PA. 09/12/01 Support The sun sets tonight at 7:21, so it will be dusk.
