This is a small compilation of pictures from 9/11 that I like (if that's the word to use). It's also a memorial to those who died, especially those who gave their lives to help save others.
On September 11th, 3,044 people died, not including the hijackers. 2,801 people died at the World Trade Center. 179 people died at the Pentagon. 64 people died on Flight 93 in Pennsylvania, after herocially seizing it from the hijackers.
In New York, rescue workers from all over
the city, on or off duty, raced to Manhattan and the Trade Centers. Hundreds
of emergency personnel were running into the Towers as eveyone else was
running out, for no other reason than people needed help. It is reported
that firefighters made it all the way to 87th floor of the North Tower
before it collapsed. When the Twin Towers came down, 343 firefighters,
23 police officers, 37 Port Authority officers, and 3 EMS workers were
killed. Without a doubt, they saved many thousands of lives with their
bravery, and they will forever be heroes.
