25 years ago today, September 11, 2001, America was changed forever.
At 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
At 9:03 a.m., United Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower.
At 9:37 a.m., American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon.
At 9:59 a.m., the South Tower collapsed.
At 10:03 a.m., United Airlines Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after courageous passengers fought back against the hijackers.
At 10:28 a.m., the North Tower collapsed.
2,977 innocent people’s lives were taken that day — including 2,606 at the World Trade Center, 125 at the Pentagon, and 246 passengers and crew aboard the four aircraft.
Among those lost were 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, 8 emergency medical technicians/paramedics, and other first responders who ran toward the danger while others were running away.
Today, we honor every innocent life taken, every first responder who gave everything, every survivor who carries the memories, and every family forever changed.
We honor the sacrifice.
We remember their lives.
We remember the heroes.
We remember the fallen.
We remember the courage.
We will ALWAYS remember, and we will NEVER forget 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
