Never forget 9/11

9/11” is short for four coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda, an Islamist extremist group, that occurred on the morning of September 11, 2001.

Nineteen terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes, deliberately crashing two of the planes into the upper floors of the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center complex. A third plane was flown into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The Twin Towers ultimately collapsed because of the damage sustained from the impacts and the resulting fires. After learning about the other attacks, passengers on the fourth hijacked plane, Flight 93, fought back, and the plane was crashed into an empty field in western Pennsylvania about 20 minutes by air from Washington, D.C.

All told, the attacks killed 2,977 people from 93 nations,

2,753 people were killed in New York

184 people were killed at the Pentagon

40 people were killed on Flight 93.

NEVER FORGET

Years have passed but the casualties continue to grow as countless heroes succumb to the various cancers and other things associated with the debris and clean up.

NEVER FORGET

This event is untold in our history, we must never forget so we never allow it again.
