9/11 - 15 Facts We should Remember about the Terrorist Attack on that September Day

What do you remember about 9/11? Besides where you were?

I was teaching an ESL class in southern Florida. I stepped out of one class, saw there was a fuss, but didn't think it was anything big at the time....then taught another class.

My second break...I realized it was something big.

15 Facts we should remember about that September day.

1.  3,030 people were killed

2.  2,337 people were injured

3.  343 New York firefighters and paramedics lost their lives

4.  75 of New York's finest lost theirs

5.  115 nations lost one of their citizens

6.  3,051 children lost a parent

7.  39 was the age of the oldest person killed that day.9.11.jpg

8.  One in five Americans knew someone who was killed or hurt that day. I am one of the four in five.

9. 1.5 million tons of debris was removed

10. December 19th, 99 days after the fact, the fires of the WTC and Pentagon finally went out. 

11. 188 people died at the Pentagon - 124 on the ground, 64 on American Airlines Flight 77.  64 people were injured.

I would have to disagree with #15. The US military is fighting a war created by the US administration - but that has nothing to do with 9/11. Remember: Neither Afghanistan nor Iraq had ANYTHING to do with 9/11 whatsoever. Not even the guys who supposedly planned or carried out the attacks were from there.

regarding number 7:
39 years old might have been the "average age" NOT the oldest.
My husband was 55 when he was murdered on 9/11
