September 11
Jean Sexton writes:
This year, September 11 is the 255th day of the year. In non-leap years, it is the 254th day.
On September 11, 1609, Henry Hudson found what would be known as Manhattan. It was inhabited, but now the Europeans knew about it.
On September 11,1941, ground was broken for the Pentagon. It is the headquarters for the United States Department of Defense.
On September 11, 1974, Eastern Air Lines Flight 212 crashed in Charlotte, North Carolina. This accident led to rules to help cockpit crews stay focused on descents.
On September 11, 2001, airplanes were used as weapons against the World Trade Center's twin towers and the Pentagon. Another plane was to be used as a weapon, but it is nearly certain that the passengers revolted and the plane crashed as a result -- killing them, but probably saving many others.
On September 11, 2012, I remember those who lost their lives, those who lost people close to them in these attacks and in the aftermath as they tried to save people, and those who have lost loved ones in the following wars. I also remember those hurt physically and emotionally during these wars.
Please take a moment from your busy life to remember those people with me.
