This Sept. 11 marks the 23rd anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack in human history. Not including the 19 hijackers who committed murder-suicide, 2,977 victims died on 9/11 in 2001.
On that horrific and unforgettable day, hundreds of firefighters rushed headlong towards the devastation at the World Trade Center. The televised images of firefighters courageously sprinting into the fiery flames and billowing smoke left viewers dumbstruck. The collapse of the South tower at 9:59 a.m. EST left them devastated. The North tower’s collapse at 10:28 a.m. and the scene of total chaos that followed is forever burned into the memories of millions who watched speechless, including firemen from all over America.
