    The fatalities were in the thousands, with 2973 people killed, including 246 on the four planes, 2602 in New York City in the towers and on the ground, and 125 at the Pentagon. Among the fatalities were 343 New York City Fire Department firefighters, 23 New York City Police Department officers, and 37 Port Authority police officers. Also, a further 24 people remain listed as missing in the attack on the World Trade Center to this day.

    In addition to the 110-floor Twin Towers of the World Trade Center itself, five other buildings at the World Trade Center site, including 7 World Trade Center and the Marriott Hotel, and four New York City Subway stations were destroyed or badly damaged. In total, in Manhattan, 25 buildings were damaged and all seven buildings of the World Trade Center Complex had to be razed. Later, an eighth building, the Deutsche Bank Building across Liberty Street from the World Trade Center complex had to be demolished as well, due to the uninhabitable, toxic conditions inside the office tower.

    American Airlines Flight 77

    American Airlines Flight 77 was a morning flight that routinely flew from Washington Dulles International Airport in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties, Virginia, near Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles International Airport (IAD-LAX). On September 11, 2001, while being piloted by Charles Burlingame, and First Officer Dave Charlebois, the Boeing 757-223, N644AA, was hijacked as part of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Over an hour into the flight, it was crashed into the Pentagon, killing 64 on the plane and 125 in the buildings. It was the third airliner to crash that morning, 50 minutes after the first, and another half hour later than the second crash.

    Flight 93....Somerset County, Pennsylvania, USA





    A Day Forever Remembered

    September 11, 2001 was one of the darkest days in our nation’s recent history; a day our country was shaken to its very foundation. The United States experienced the worst incident of terrorism in its history: the coordinated hijacking of four commercial airliners. Despite the destruction and devastation, stories of courage and heroism emerged.

    On September 11, 2001, shortly after terrorists flew airplanes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and into the Pentagon, the forty passengers and crewmembers on United Airlines Flight 93 fought a battle in the sky over Pennsylvania. These forty heroes won their battle against terrorists and thwarted a planned attack on our nation’s capital, saving countless numbers of lives, but sacrificing their own in a field just east of Pittsburgh, in Somerset County, Pennsylvania.

    The story of Flight 93 is a national treasure — a story of hope in human courage and cooperation. When confronted with the gravity of their situation, the passengers and crew of Flight 93 chose to act heroically and sacrifice their lives for their country. These 40 heroes made a democratic decision to fight back against terrorism and thereby thwarted a planned attack on our nation’s capital, saving countless numbers of lives.

    Trucker remembers September 11, 2001


    Here is some background information.

    Their names are John & Amy Holmgren. They live in Shafer, Minn. They thought this would be a nice tribute to the people that lost their lives.

    It has every name of each person that lost their life on 9-11. This concept was thought up by John and Amy, and totally paid for by them. John says he will be awhile paying the loan off that he had to take out to do it but, thought this was the least he could do. Applied Graphics in Fargo, ND did most of the work and Paul Kosenski did the Hand painting.

    He said that he got to meet the Country Singer Darryl Worley, who Sang the song "Have You Forgotten" and has gotten pulled over 3 times by the police just to get their picture taken by this truck.

    It is called the Rolling 9-11 Memorial, it has all the names of the people that were killed on that day and the flights they were on plus some other graphics on the side of the Tractor.

        I have a copy of the New York Times from September 12, 2001. Really chilling stuff.
        I can't run no more
        With that lawless crowd
        While the killers in high places
        Say their prayers out loud
        But they've summoned, they've summoned up
        A thundercloud
        They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

            Cyberski,

            THANK YOU!!!!

            I find it sad that 5 years after 9/11 that some people HAVE forgotten.

            I for one cannot. I remember the gamut of emotions I went through that day. They ranged from shock, anger, and utter sadness from the butchery of innocents that day.

            Of those 2819 men, women and children who died on that fateful day:
            -Some had no chance as their planes crashed into the WTC and the Pentagon.
            -Some had no chance as the planes slammed into their offices at the Pentagon or in the WTC.
            -Some knew they had a job to do and saved numerous lives... and sacrificed their own.
            -Some found out what was going to happen to them. They fought back and saved countless lives at the Capitol or the White House.. while they gave the utmost of themselves.

            We cannot let this happen again, so we must remember those perished that day. We as Americans must stand together, not divided, to thwart terrorists who wish to kill, maim and destroy as many people as possible.

            On a side note, my family and I took a vacation 3 years ago to visit some friends in Pennsylvania. We stopped at Shanksville, PA and visited the makeshift memorial. The amount of mementos, cards, letters at that area ran chills down my spine. A whole wall of signatures, fire dept. patches, personal letters hit me like a ton of bricks. The Flight 93 memorial chapel was equally as touching.

            Those that gave so selflessly of themselves that day showed the greatest thing of all... love. From those in Newfoundland that helped 38 grounded airliners full of travelers by opening up their homes. From those police and firefighters that helped evacuate the WTC knowing that the odds were against them. And from those that fought back and stopped Flight 93 from its intended target. They cared so much for others they did not know they gave of themselves to help aid or save others.

            On this 5th anniversary of 9/11, let us never forget the awful horror of that day. We cannot, we MUST not.

            Let us be resolved that we will defeat those wish to kill us. Let us also remember that means we ALL should give more of ourselves to help others.

              I can't believe it's 5 years already.

              Remember the US Flag in the shape of the US that they displayed at Lambeau, as it was the first MNF game after 9/11? I can't even explain the feeling of that. Tears. Sadness. Anger. Proud of our country. etc.

                I remember how Chris Gizzi (the Packer LB who was in the Air Force Academy) charged onto the field with the American flag.

                    I don't understand how anyone can forget that day. I think everyone of us will always remember what were doing and where we were when we first heard the news.

                    Without trying to turn this into a big political discussion, I think what angered me most were the war protesters in the US when the President was about to go after the Taliban.

                          Digital Dean, that was a beautiful piece of writing. You should send it in to the NY Times, WSJ, and Washington Post. Especially the post in this, an election year. I think they may need a little reminder of what they're working for there.

                            First heard about it on the radio--as my wife and I were driving to work. I dropped her off. When I got to my office, they had wheeled in a TV. We spent the day watching footage--before being told to go home early. I remember watching footage until like 4AM that night.
