The 1,613 emergency phone calls on 9/11 were withheld by a court order, while families of victims fought to get the calls released.

Screenshot of the NPR article "After a Court Battle, More Sept. 11 Tapes Released," about the release of over 1,600 emergency calls from September 11, 2001.

But these had all the voices of civilians bleeped out, except for a few minutes of the Melissa Doi call, as it was played in the Zacarias Moussaoui (patsy) trial.
