The 20th Anniversary of 9/11

It was twenty years ago today, on the morning of September 11 2001,  that the terrorist organization al-Quaeda launched four attacks against the United States of America. It began at 8:46 AM Eastern Daylight Saving Time when a plane hit the North Tower of the World Trade Centre. It was at 9:03 AM that another plane hit the South Tower of the World Trade Centre. At 9:37 AM Eastern Daylight Saving Time a plane hit the west side of the Pentagon. A fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was due to hit a location in Washington, D.C. Having learned of what had happened to the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, several heroic passengers attempted to seize control of the pane from the cowards who had hijacked it. In the ensuing struggle, the plane crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 AM Eastern Daylight Saving Time.

I would like to take this time to remember those who died at the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon, and on Flight 93 twenty years ago today.
