On Sept. 11, 2001, the world was shocked by the most horrific attack ever to take place on U.S. soil. Christian country singer Alan Jackson wrote a song to channel the inexplicable yet mutual trauma that many Americans felt that day. This emotional performance still touches the hearts of listeners more than a decade after the event.
On 9/11, four planes were hijacked by terrorists. Two crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. One plane hit the Pentagon in Washington, and the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania. It was a horrific attack that killed nearly 3,000 people and left many times more frightened, confused, and in anguish.
