I'm making a request for more than a moment of silence, but a moment of stillness. Four for each moment that each plane crashed ten years ago today. And two more when each tower fell.
8:46 am Eastern standard time, American Airlines Flight 11 Crashed into the north face of the North tower of the World Trade Center, between floors 93 and 99.
9:03 am United Airlines Flight 175 Crashed into the the south face of the South Tower of the World Trade Center, between floors 77 and 85
9:37 am American Airlines Flight 77 Crashed into the western side of the Pentagon.
9:59 am The South Tower of the World Trade Center begins to collapse.
10:03 am United Airlines Flight 93 is crashed by its hijackers and passengers, due to fighting in the cockpit 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The 40 brave souls on board giving their lives to prevent another attack.
10:28: The North Tower of the World Trade Center begins to collapse.
2,977 lives were lost. If you feel need to give into tears, please do so. But remember all those people in a moment of silence and a moment of stillness.
Thank you.
