We recently asked New York Metro users to tell us about their experiences on September 11 and over the past year. How anxious are New Yorkers now as opposed to a year ago? What are our most vivid memories of that day? How concerned are we about a follow-up attack, our jobs, our civil liberties?
Our informal survey* garnered more than 1,500 responses, 70 percent of which were from people living in the New York metro region. |

*During a two-week period during August 2002, New York Metro readers were prompted to fill out an optional survey of approximately 30 questions about their experiences on -- and after -- September 11. This survey was not scientific. It reflected the opinions of only those Internet users who chose to participate. Results should not be assumed to represent the opinions and experiences of Internet users or New Yorkers as a whole. New York Metro did not attempt to verify responses. In some instances, readers took the survey more than once.
