High school students interview locals on what happened on 9/11

As schools around the country learn about 9/11, one Central Illinois High school is having students ask local residents who experienced the events themselves. The collection of interviews has been produced as a podcast, "800 Miles from Ground Zero: 9/11's Impact on Central Illinois".
