Hard to believe it was 18 years ago. I’ll never forget. Watching it all unfold and seeing live on tv the second plane hitting the other tower, along with the news coverage later on. Watching live as the towers collapsed. Still, loss of words. I can only imagine how those in the buildings and the first responders felt. And we too often forget the other 2 flights. The pentagon doesn’t get much recognition and flight 93 (I believe) the one that our brave brothers and sisters decided to say “[BLEEP] you”

Fun fact, my brother flew the helicopter (only aircraft allowed in the sky aside from military). It was a New York news helicopter. But he wasn’t the pilot at the time. After 9/11 my dads services were wanted up there. He took the job. He made all kinds of contacts. We visited him one week and my brother being a licensed pilot was taken up in it and allowed to fly it.
