On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters.

So many people today remembering lost loved ones. R.I.P all those who died and thoughts for their families and friends.

and I'm sure we all remember vividly where we were when we heard and what we were doing at that awful time

And they are still dying.

Over a thousand people are still missing
I watched Program last night on how they are working Together
to identify the parts no matter how small they are
It was a Awful sad day I was living in Kent
and watched this happen on the TV in my friends shop
we watched in silence as the full horror unfolded :-( :-( :-(

May they RIP :-( :-(

My Father in Law died on Sep 10th and on 9/11 we were with the pastor trying to make the funeral etc. arrangements as the news was coming in.
It seemed like a disaster movie at first then the reality sank in.
