Viele Künstler berichten auf ihren Homepages, wie sie die Tragödie erlebt haben, wie sie empfinden und wie sie mit den Geschehnissen umgehen wollen.

Hier eine unkommentierte Zitat-Sammlung: “As I sat on my roof and watched the World Trade Center, not only the world`s financial center, and a landmark that I grew up with as familiar as my own face, but a symbol of the worlds freedom, a symbol our hopes and dreams as they reach up to touch the sky, crumble to the ground, I wept deeply, and prayed to god, not only for the 50,000+ people who were ambushed by‚ faceless cowards who hide in the shadows, but for humanity as a whole! (…) Technology doesn’t make us civilized, it seems that the more we move ahead technologically, the farther we regress down the evolutionary scale. Progress is measured by how far `we` have come. It seems as though we have learned nothing from our past. That in war, no one wins. (…) We are at war, not just America vs. our attackers, not just the free world of democracy vs. terrorism, but at war with ourselves. I am going with my friend Mark to volunteer to help with the survivors, or whatever needs to be done! I guess if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.” Evan Seinfeld/Biohazard “NYC is in total chaos. True uncivilization. We couldn`t have been more right. When will we all learn to respect each other? Innocent people should never have to shed blood for the wars our governments create. We`ve been around this world and have NEVER found an evil place, or an evil person, religion, or race. The PEOPLE of this world are the same all over. It`s the GREED of the GOVERNMENTS that fuel all this hatred. Don`t let yourself be stupid enough to believe that dropping a bomb on someone is gonna fix this. I live in NYC all my life, and it will NEVER be the same. No war will ever bring back the people who died today, no act of violence will ever put our people at ease, and no act of intolerance will EVER convince me that people are truly evil.” Danny Schuler/Biohazard “It is hard to know what to post on a day like this, definitely the saddest one any of us have ever experienced. On so many levels, our world is changed forever, and it was pretty shaky anyway. Needless to say, our thoughts, prayers and hearts go out to the many people horribly affected by the mindless violence.” R.E.M. “Like all of you, nothing has prepared me for the horrors of the last twenty-four hours. Like you, I never thought I would see anything like this in my lifetime. Our world will never be the same. (…) The likelihood of survivors is paltry. Two friends of mine offered to give blood yesterday only to be told that it was not necessary, as there weren`t going to be enough survivors to warrant it. (…)Lonely old sidewalk crazies, a permanent fixture of this city, who yesterday were crying aloud `where are all these people running to?` are today asking, `where are all the people?` Life here will continue. New Yorkers are a resilient and fast thinking people. In this way they really do resemble my own Londoners. Over the next few days that calm may surely turn to anger. But today, there is just numbness, a horrible silence.” David Bowie “I have always said that I hate so much and love so much about this country. Of course we would love more freedom, but let`s not forget what we already have. And the freedom to live without fear. (…) Everyone is scared and confused and I wish I had more to offer. (…) And for those who want to make ignorant comments about my feelings on this, you are entitled to your opinion but you can always take it somewhere else. Even someone like me can show respect for those killed yesterday and for the people protecting our lives. I expect the rest of you to as well.” Marilyn Manson “Manhattan is like a war zone now. It`s as if the Middle East conflict moved `to the mainland` just as the Irish conflict did in Britain. (…) Nevertheless, it has to be said that the city is tranquil. The sun has been shining and the weather has been beautiful. (…) More children than usual are playing in the road. It feels safer than usual. Central Park is full of kids sailing toy boats, people riding bicycles. (…) On 5th Avenue souvenir hunters are buying postcards with the World Trade Center on them. On Lexington Avenue someone has written in chalk a saying of De La Vega: `An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.`” Nick Currie aka Momus. “This will probably be my last update for a while. I have most likely lost a friend in this tragedy and I can`t bear to look at the boards as they are right now. Most of you are wonderful, some of you are incredibly hurtful. I don`t know why I do this anymore.

To those of you who have been supportive and understanding, thank you. To those of you who have been hurtful and slanderous, I`m sorry if I`ve done anything to upset you. I hope I can come back soon. I need a little time.” Moby
