It has been 23 years since this horrific day! We will never forget those who lost their lives.
The following is an account of how this attack unfolded from NBC.
Nearly 3,000 people were killed when al-Qaida hijackers crashed four jetliners into the twin towers, the Pentagon and a field in southwest Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001.
Here is an outline of the primary events that transpired, starting with the first plane hitting the North Tower, according to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.
8:46 a.m.
Five hijackers crash American Airlines Flight 11 into floors 93 through 99 of the North Tower. The 76 passengers and 11 crew members on board and hundreds inside the building die instantly. Hundreds of people are trapped above the 91st floor because the crash severs all three emergency stairwells.
8:50 a.m.
Then President George W. Bush is informed of the plane crash as he sits in a Florida elementary school classroom. He and his advisers assume it is an accident.
8:59 a.m.
The Port Authority orders the evacuation of both towers. A minute later, they evacuate the entire World Trade Center complex.
9:03 a.m.
Five hijackers crash United Airlines Flight 175 into floors 77 through 85 of the South Tower, killing the 51 passengers and nine crew members onboard the aircraft and an unknown number of people inside the building. Many were trapped in elevators or on floors above the impact zone. People are seen jumping to their deaths from the towers.
At this point, the estimated death count is 50 to more than 200.
The NYPD calls for a second Level 4 mobilization.
This was a post I wrote in 2020 that I wanted to share once again.
This day 9/11 will be forever emblazoned on my mind as a horrendous day that I will never forget. So many lives were lost that affected many families and left our nation in devastation. Through it all WE ROSE UP STRONGER THAN EVER! We stand tall and will forever remember those brave first responders who were there and later lost their own lives saving others. Please pray for all those who lost loved ones that fateful day.
Many were not even born and don’t know what this nation went through then but only by seeing this 911 presentation on TV each anniversary. I pray that this generation and others that follow will never have to suffer through something like this.
It has now been 19 years! It still feels like it was yesterday. I remember where I was and the shock we all felt. It will never go away but we are healing and stronger.
This is a post below that I wrote in 2019. What else can I say other than God Bless all who were affected by this tragedy – which is all of us!! WE WILL NEVER FORGET!
It is hard to believe that it has been 18 years since that tragic day in American history! Everyone remembers where they were when the Twin Towers were hit. It is a day that no one will ever forget. It changed us all but only made America stronger and bonded us together.
Please take a moment out of your busy day to say a prayer for those who suffered and lost loved ones.
Thank you for stopping by. Please keep everyone in your daily prayers. I will too! May God Bless us all!
Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!
