How 9/11 looked on a newly created Internet on that day | by Larry Kramer | Sep, 2020 | Medium

Larry Kramer shared these screen grabs of the front page of MarketWatch.com on 9/11. I am struck by how readable the content was and how it captured as best it could that horrible day. As CTO of MarketWatch I loved reading Larry's reflection on our availability:

We were able to keep our site up all day, while all the major news sites were crashing under the loads of sudden demands. We were made to withstand large bursts of traffic because we had them often when the stock market moved in big ways, which it was doing often in those days.

I wasn't at MarketWatch when 9/11 struck so I wasn't in the heart of the operation on that day. But the technology and even more importantly the team we had built performed so admirably.
