This time of year, our thoughts naturally gravitate toward the evil events of eight years ago that claimed the lives of over 2,993 lives. 343 FDNY fire fighters, and paramedics, 23 NYPD, and 37 Port Authority Police. People tend to forget to stop for a moment and pay their respects to those that perished that day.
On Sept. 11, 2001 America had its worst tragedy since the attacks on Pearl Harbor. 19Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked 4 commercial airliners. Two were flown into the World Trade Centers in New York city. One was crashed into the Pentagon. The fourth was crashed into a field near Shanksviile , Pa. The attacks began when the first plane hit the north tower at 8:46 A.M. The second tower was struck at 9:03 A.M. At 9:45 the third plane struck the Pentagon. At 10:10 A.M. the fourth plane crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pa. after passengers over took the terrorists. It seems as the years pass, more and more is forgotten.
