These signs will display real-time arrivals, delays, detours, and even crowding levels, while improved tracking should make the app and website predictions noticeably more accurate for your daily commute.
   

• What happened on 9/11, as it happened, from the people who were there (poughkeepsiejournal.com) — A detailed, time-stamped oral history of 9/11 includes the experience of a Belmar student whose family returns to their home in Howell and anxiously waits for news of her father in the South Tower.
