Brief by Central Staff
Sept. 11 events – November 2001 – Colorado Central Magazine
The mass murders on Sept. 11 happened a long way from Central Colorado, but the local response was almost instantaneous.
Perhaps the most bizarre reaction came in Leadville, where there was a run on gasoline that evening. Only one station was open, the Kum & Go, and the line was so long that the station implemented a $10 maximum purchase.
