It was the early morning of September 11, 2001. Four planes were hijacked by terrorist of the militant group al-Qaeda and crashed. It is a day we will never forget. It is a day that I never thought I would ever see, either. The Twin Towers, the Pentagon and a plane crashing into a field in Pennsylvania headed to Washington D.C., is not exactly how I figured my day would start out. Responsible for these attacks is Osama bin Laden, who was finally taken out on 2 May 2011 by the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group. Almost 10 years after the terrorist attacks!
Deaths: World trade Center 2,606; American airlines 87 and 59; United airlines 60 and 40 and Pentagon 125. Total deaths: 2977
All of the 19 terrorists died in the plane crashes.

It is said that the Center will be light up in Red, White and Blue colors for the 11 September 2011, 10 years later celebration!
What were you doing when the terrorists attacked?
I remember my son and I got up early. We were watching the news and I had to go and get ready for work. My son came in and said they just showed a plane hitting a building. I asked him if he turned the channel or a movie cut in, and he said no it was on the News. So I went and watched what was going on, and yep my son was right, a plane crashed into a building. I was working on one of the military bases, and of course it was a long wait to get into base. Security searched my car and asked why I had a few screw drivers in the TOOL box. I stated it was tools in the tool box. He persisted to let me know that I could stab someone with a screw driver. I let him know that is NOT MY INTENTIONS, told him where I worked and needed to get there to start the plan we were taught and put it into action. [the tool box stayed home the next day] I got to work about an hour before the work hour and started setting up the Emergency Command Call Center! I will have to say, it was a very sad and busy day!
Rest in Peace for all who lost their lives! I pray that their families find closure!
And let’s not forget the Military who have gone to war after September 11 and lost their lives!
