60 SECONDS OF LIGHT is an attempt to create an internet-wide September 11th video memorial. The concept is simple: on September 11th 2007 we are asking all vloggers and internet video content creators to take a break from their regular scheduled content and instead upload 60 seconds of light. A candle burning. A lighter lit. A glow stick glowing. Anything light-filled that you feel honors the memory of all those who were lost. Our hope is to have this light spread throughout the internet; creating the largest memorial service ever to commemorate September 11th.

If you don't have a camera or the resources needed to participate, you can also download one of the movies provided below. More video options to come.

Have you ever been to the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem? One candle burns in the centre of a room that is reflected by mirrors 6 million times.

Your idea is just as beautiful.

Thank you. I have never been there, but it sounds wonderful.

Great idea. Simple and profound. I'm sure a lot of people won't want to wait until then!
