On the morning of September 11, 2001,
19 terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners.
Each team of hijackers included a trained pilot. The hijackers crashed two of the airliners into the World Trade Center in New York City, resulting in the collapse of both buildings soon afterward.
A third airliner was crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia.
Passengers and members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers; that plane crashed into a field near the town of Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. In addition to the 19 hijackers, 2,974 people died on that day; another 23 were missing and presumed dead.
As always, your friends at ACME remind you to hug your friends and family, call or write an old friend you haven’t spoken to in awhile, say, “hello” to your neighbors or at least, say “Good Morning” to a stranger on the street.
And so it goes
