I noticed that the dead seedlings are in the same type of container, while the surviving seedlings are in plastic containers. I don't know if this is at the root of the issue. But, hopefully, we will plant this week and try again with the cilantro, cherry tomatoes, and lettuce.
The Adventures of Container Gardening (and Local Eating) will document the successes and failures of an urban container garden and its gardeners and include some favorites from the farmers' market.

Disappointment
Looks like we are having some trouble with the seedlings. After returning from a weekend in NYC, I found that two of my containers has died off in the same way as the cilantro. The cherry tomatoes and the lettuce are pretty much all gone!

Aw, I am sorry about your seedlings, but I like that you were able to make a pun about roots. Surely mother nature will reward you for that.
