To assemble a definitive timeline of the attack, Cullen has had to resolve hundreds of wildly divergent eyewitness accounts. This was, as he puts it, "the first major hostage standoff of the cell phone age," so as the nightmare unfolded, students were calling local news stations, which then fed their panicked stories back into classrooms via TVs in real time, creating a feedback loop that distorted their experience of the event even as it was happening...
