A Day of Change for our Country - 9/11

Today was one of the worst days of History. There was a series of terrorist attacks upon the United States of America. Four commercial passenger jet airliners were hijacked by Al Qaeda Terrorists this morning and two of the planes were crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, one plane into each tower, causing the collapse of both towers within two hours. The third aircraft was crashed into the Pentagon. Passengers on the fourth hijacked aircraft attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers, which crashed into a field in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania killing all on board but in the process saving many other lives. Approximately 3,000 people died in these attacks. including a number of fire fighters and rescue workers.

It's a sad, sad day for our country. A day that will change our country forever. My heart goes out to all of the people in NYC that were involved in this terrible attack.

I had just gotten to work (Settle & Pou) when I heard the news. Went into the office and it was on all of the TV's. David works in downtown, so I immediately start freaking out and trying to call him. He, of course, isn't answering his phone. Finally got in touch with him and he was walking around downtown, but on his way home.  Everyone either stayed home or was going home. He's in a federal buidling - so it wasn't safe for him to be at work. I am just pleased he's safe and glad he's going home!

Here's some pictures from this tragic day in history!

September 11th will be a day that is never forgetten in this country!
