Bigger Than Teddy Bear Day
Today is September 11th of 2006, the fifth anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attacks against our nation.
On the morning of September 11th, 2001, 19 men affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four different airlines. Two of these airlines, the United 175 and the American 11 flew into the World Trade centers, causing them to collapse. A third, the American 77, crashed into the Pentagon. The fourth airliner, United 73, was hijacked but later courageously attempted to be retaken by the passengers and members of the aircraft. These people used all they could to stop the worst from happening...In their daring attempt to retake the aircraft, United 73 had crashed into a field near Shanksville, Penn.
Along with the 19 hijackers, a total number of 2,973 people lost their lives that day and still 24 people are missing. Many people, normal business men, passerbys, police and firemen alike, most likely lost their lives trying to save as many people as they could.
Lets use this day to remember all those lives lost. To remember their bravery; to remember them as normal people lost to a horrific terrorist attack. In anyway, lets use this day to remember them. God Bless.

I'm surprised this post came up. I waited for around 7 minutes when it said "page cannot be displayed" for creating the post. I'm glad it did though. Thanks!

Elaine and I watched Flight 93 tonight.....I started crying when they called up their family and friends after they found out they were going to die, it was sooo depressing

Yeah, that movie had me kept on the seat in one position forever because it was so intense just realising how much damage all those hijackings caused to everyone. Those people watching in the airtower (the second plane crashing) must have been just senseless on what to do.
And note: I DID know it was 93...for some reason I kept saying United 73....

I still say flight 93 was shot down. Just like Pearl Harbor it is not proven but all the facts point in that direction.
