September 11, 2001 (9-11-01)
As you may already know, four commercial airplanes were hijacked early this morning in America. The first plane crashed into one of the twin World Trade Towers in New York City at 8:45 am EDT. The second plane crashed into the other tower. Both buildings collapsed by 1030 am EDT. The third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The last plane crashed somewhere outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Although, no official numbers have been announced, thousands of people died this morning. Life as we know it, in America, will never be the same.
Here are some links, and phone numbers, to help you get some up-to-date information of the day's events. There are also links that I hope will help in the healing process.
My prayers go out to all of those personally effected by the appalling events of today. I also pray for all of us. God Bless and Keep you all.
