Roselle - American Hero Dog of the Year

Computer sales manager Michael Hingson was at his desk on the 78th floor of the World Trade Center's north tower on the morning of 9/11 when American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the other side of the building, 18 floors above. And he lived to tell the tale because of his guide dog, Roselle.

The yellow labrador calmly guided her owner 1,463 steps out of the building and, as debris fell and dust billowed, found a subway station and led them both underground to safety.

Roselle died in June 2011 at the age 13, but her heroism lives on. At a star-studded red carpet event in L.A. on Saturday night the yellow lab was honored as the American Hero Dog of the Year.

Just as they got out of the building on 9/11, the south tower collapsed. "While everyone ran in panic, Roselle remained totally focused on her job," Michael Hingson said, "While debris fell around us, and even hit us, Roselle stayed calm."

Science just told you. Things went straight down the middle and would have been going down through a gigantic coffee grinder and then been being cooked, really, I suppose." (Suria's father, John).

Now, ten years on, just 12 of these heroic canines survive, and they have been commemorated in a touching series of portraits entitled 'Retrieved'.

The dogs worked tirelessly to search for anyone trapped alive in the rubble, along with countless emergency service workers and members of the public.

In Memory of Gary Jay Frank

Gary Jay Frank was 35 years old and from South Amboy, New Jersey. (Born: Plainview, New York). Gary worked for Aon Insurance Co. on the 92nd floor in the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

Gary's two sisters Felicia and Laurie have come to the World Trade Center every September 11th for the commemorative ceremony. With them they carry the same missing person's poster they've carried for the past decade.

"We will never forget you," reads the poster for Gary Frank, whose remains have never been found.

"Gary was my father. He had the biggest heart ever. He was funny and very outgoing, not to mention very smart. Everybody loved him very much, as did I. He taught me how to ride a 2-wheel bike. I remember on our weekends together, it was our ritual to go and see a movie and go out to dinner, whatever one I wanted. We had many, many trips to Six Flags. On one occasion, when we got there so early, we got to go on Medusa 3 times with no line. I always had a huge love for professional wrestling, and, sure enough, one day daddy said "You're going to raw!" And he took me to my first and since then only live event. His last Christmas and New Year's here, he took me to Disney World in Florida." Jessika Frank.

9/11 Memorial Opens To Public At Ground Zero

The New York memorial to those killed on 9/11 has opened today to the public, a day after its dedication on the 10th anniversary of the attacks.

In Memory of Betty Ann Ong

Betty Ann Ong was 45 years old and from San Francisco, California. Betty was a flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11.

On September 11, 2001, shortly after the takeoff of American Airlines Flight 11 from Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts bound for Los Angeles, California, the airplane was hijacked.

During the hijacking, Betty placed a call to American Airlines reservation agents in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina and relayed vital information about the identities of the hijackers and the hijacking situation on board the airplane. Betty's telephone call was the first call and indication that America was under attack, and her call eventually led to the shutdown of all flights nationwide. Under extreme duress and horrific circumstances, Betty remained calm and professional during her 23 minute telephone call. Prior to the crash of the airplane at the North World Trade Center in New York, Betty selflessly asked the ground crew to "Pray for Us", and not just for herself.

At 8.46am on September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the northern facade of the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

The Betty Ann Ong Foundation is a non-profit public charity that helps overweight and obese children. Please remember and honor Betty with your support to the Betty Ann Ong Foundation.

Remembering 9/11 Around The World

NEW YORK

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrived at Ground Zero this afternoon alongside former President George W Bush and his wife Laura. There they met families of victims, with all four warmly embracing them alongside plaques bearing the names of the dead.

The 10th anniversary ceremony began with the arrival of bagpipers and drummers and the singing of the national anthem by a youth chorus. But the world fell silent at 8.46am local time for a minute's silence to remember the horrific moment American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower.

It was followed by President Obama's reading from Psalm 46, which begins, "God is my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble".

New York mayor Michael Bloomberg then introduced the reading of the names of each of the 2,983 people who died in the attacks.

After the New York ceremony President Obama flew to rural western Pennsylvania to remember the sacrifice of those on United Airlines Flight 93.


ENGLAND

Many of the families of the 67 British victims who died in the 9/11 attacks have attended services in London and New York.

Members of around 30 families who lost loved ones in the twin towers took part in a ceremony at the American Embassy in central London, while members of another 10 families took part in the service at Ground Zero.

Speaking at the service outside the US Embassy, the Prince of Wales said the families had to endure an "eternity of continuing, awful, agony".

"None of us will ever forget where we were or what we were doing when on that otherwise ordinary day, and out of a clear blue sky, came so much premeditated death and destruction on scale and in a way that shocked the entire world," he said.

"At the heart of those endless and rather impersonal news reports lay the shattered lives and hopes of all those who we join here today both in London and New York."

Ceremonies of remembrance also took place at Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral, while Mayor Boris Johnson unveiled a sculpted memorial, made from steel recovered from Ground Zero in Battersea Park, west London.

9/11: Americans join hands at Ground Zero to mark anniversary

Americans have begun marking the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

Today as a bell tolled at 8.46am to mark the minute that the first hijacked plane flew into the Twin Towers, they joined hands in a human chain of support and commemoration along the waterfront of lower Manhattan.

Rising in front of them as they reached out to friends, neighbours and strangers, was the new World Trade Center tower, soaring into the void left that day and destined to be America's tallest building.
