20 years ago, the fabric of our country changed forever. At 8:46 a.m., a commercial jet crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Twenty minutes later, a second plane crashed into the South Tower and whatever confusion there was was quickly erased from the minds of Americans. We were under attack. 2,996 people lost their lives in a senseless attack that altered the mindset of every American going forward.
As the towers fell, America rose up together as one. Two decades later, as our country battles division amongst one another, it is crucial that we remember the sense of community that we felt immediately following the attacks. Going forward, let us never forget the attacks on our country, and let us remember the sense of unity and pride that we carried with us in the immediate aftermath.
WKQX remembers all of the lives lost on September 11, 2001.
