9-11 The Day Everyone Will Always Remember

I can remember the day The Twin Towers were destroyed and thousands of lives were changed forever.  It was 12 years ago.  I was in the waiting room at the chiropractor.  The news report came on and the video of the 2 airplanes flying into The Twin Towers was shown.  My heart sank and I started crying.  How could anyone do such a horrendous thing?!!!
Four passenger airliners were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists so they could be flown into buildings in suicide attacks. Two of those planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within two hours, both towers collapsed with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the WTC complex, as well as major damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense), leading to a partial collapse in its western side. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was targeted at Washington, D.C., but crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania after its passengers tried to overcome the hijackers. In total, almost 3,000 people died in the attacks, including the 227 civilians and 19 hijackers aboard the four planes. It also was the deadliest incident for firefighters in the history of the United States.  This information is from Wikipedia.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks
I remember the multitudes of flags being flown and The United States joining together as one nation under God to help anyway they could.  Many blessings and lots of love to ALL!!!  Laugh and smile often, love ALWAYS!!!
