Today in history...

Sep 11 2001



The single largest terrorist attack in history occurs when four commercial jetliners are hijacked, two of which slam into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York. Another plane is crashed into the Pentagon. 2,915 people are killed in the attacks, coordinated by Saudi terrorist Osama bin Laden. The civilized world is horrified; especially after seeing footage of Palestinians celebrating in the streets.
For the first time in U.S. history, all flights are grounded throughout the country. All major government facilities are evacuated as well as many local facilities. The federal government uses this sneak attack as a pretext to crack down on civil liberties, in the form of the USA PATRIOT Act and similar efforts, which continue to this day.

On a side note, the next photo was taken by a woman named Carmen Taylor. I have worked with her husband for the last five years. She snapped this picture while on vacation in New York on 9/11. She took one of the most famous photos of the ordeal.



This picture was taken from a ferry.
