10 Years Later - Lest We Forget
Firstly, I would just like to say I am from England and I didn't know anyone connected to what happened that terrible day in America on 11th, September 2001. Like many millions of people across the world I watched it all happen live on TV. That day in New York and all those horrible events have affected me ever since.
It is now 10 years since the 9/11 attacks in America, and it only seems like yesterday. For several years I have been studying the events of 9/11: looking at images, watching videos, reading articles, and remembering the victims. I feel so sorry for those people who suffered such terror.
What I can't get out of my mind are those people waving from the windows and holes in the WTC, those people who decided to jump from the towers, and those who made phone calls just before they died.
When I hear Melissa Doi's and Betty Ann Ong's telephone calls, I cry. Kevin Cosgrove's desperate 911 call from the South Tower of the WTC as it collapses is truly terrifying. The site of Edna Cintron (the Waving Woman), makes me feel so helpless. The pain and terror that these people felt still haunts me. I often think about them. It's a strange feeling really, it's almost as if I knew them personally. Today, I just wish I could help or speak to them, and say hey, I care, I am thinking about you today - 10 years later.
In total nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks on September 11, 2001
On that Tuesday morning, 19 terrorists from the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger jets. The hijackers intentionally crashed two planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City; both towers collapsed within two hours. Hijackers crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth jet, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after passengers attempted to take control before it could reach the hijacker's intended target in Washington, D.C.
The Innocent Victims
2,753 civilians at the World Trade Center.
40 passengers and crew aboard United Flight 93.
59 passengers and crew aboard American Airlines Flight 77.
125 people in the Pentagon.
World Trade Center 9/11
20,000 body parts were recovered from Ground Zero. Up to 200 remains were linked to a single person. Only 293 intact bodies were found. Only twelve could be identified by sight. After 10 years, there are still NO remains for 1,123 of the victims who died at the World Trade Center.
I will never forget those poor people who suffered, and my heart goes out to their families -

102 Minutes: The Unforgettable Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers
A Place of Remembrance: Official Book of the National September 11 Memorial (9/11 Memorial)
Product Description
On September 11, 2011, the world will be watching as the National September 11 Memorial opens on the site of the World Trade Center. With photographs and architectural plans never before published, paired with comments in the very voices of those who witnessed the event, those who struggled in its shadow for days and months after, and those who have dedicated the years since to rebuilding a place of hope and meditation at Ground Zero, this book will stand apart from all the rest on the tenth anniversary of that world-changing event. Heavily illustrated and elegantly designed, the book recalls the excitement and symbolism of the Twin Towers, the horror and chaos of the attack of 9/11, the fierce devotion and exhaustion as rescue of living victims became recovery of remains. But it also carries on from that date in history to tell the inside story of the long, complex, and sometimes contentious efforts to turn eight acres of Downtown Manhattan into a lasting memorial to those lost in New York, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon. A solemn reminder, a historic keepsake, and a fascinating read, this is the official book published by and about the National September 11 Memorial, created by those who have been working for years to honor those who died that day. A special fold-out lists all the names of the victims, making the book itself an enduring memorial to those who died on September 11.
