The Fifth Anniversary of 9/11

Today being the fifth anniversary of 9/11 I would like to share some 9/11 web sites with the reader to remember all those who have died and survived the tragedy.

  • Inside 9/11. This is National Geographic's TV broadcast on the 9/11 events. They have a time line of the events and an Flash interactive section.
  • 911 Digital Archive. This web site has stories, video, and audio from people telling their impressions and experiences from 9/11. It even has a 9/11 FAQ. When I watched the Twin Towers attack on TV 5 years ago I thought it was so unreal. Very hard to process.
  • United Heroes. This web site contains thank you letters to the brave heroes of Flight 93.
  • The Flight That Fought Back. This reconstruction from the Discovery Channel has a time line and airline safety changes post 9/11. I watched this reconstruction of the events on TV and it was very moving. The United 93 movie that played on Thursday on the A&E channel was moving too.
  • Inside the Twin Towers. This show has interviews with people who survived the Twin Towers attack. One guy saw the plane coming toward the tower he was in and ducked under his desk. Incredibly and happily he survived! Even he was surprised he lived. The web site has an interactive time line, Twin Towers facts and biographies of the people who escaped the attack.
  • Attack on The Pentagon. This show has interviews with people who survived the Pentagon attack. One guy who worked in the Pentagon said his little boy was on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon. His son was on a field trip to Washington with the rest of his class.
