9/11/01 - Remember

Today, September 11, 2006 marks the fifth anniversary of the attacks in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania.

Nearly 3,000 lives were lost on that day.

Four moments of silence are being planned today across the nation:
8:46, 9:03, 9:59, and 10:29

Each time when jetliners struck each of the twin towers and when each tower fell.

There is also moments of silence set for 8:46 am in the American and United terminals of Logan International Airport in Boston.

As evening falls, two giant beams of light symbolising the collapsed towers will illuminate the Manhattan sky. A candle-lit vigil is planned at Ground Zero.

In Respect - James Chang (Class of 2000), stood along the Jersey City waterfront near work and watched both Twin Towers collapse. I did not get home until 3-4pm that day.
