9/11/2001. 8:46 a.m. American Flight 11: 87. 9:03 a.m. United Flight 175: 60. World Trade Center: 2,606. 9:37 a.m. American Flight 77: 59. Pentagon: 125. 10:03 a.m. United Flight 93: 40. Terrorist Hijackers: 19. All told, 2,996. Among those: 343 firefighters and paramedics. 23 NYPD officers. 37 Port Authority officers. Just numbers? I don’t think so. They’re reminders. They vividly bring back the memory of that day. Thundering crashes. Staggering explosions. Raging fires. Desperate phone calls. Unheeded cries for help. Falling bodies. Collapsing towers. A debris-strewn Pennsylvania field. A charred Pentagon. Mountains of rubble. A climbing death toll. Selfless public servants. A heroic group of passengers. A somber President. A horrified nation. I remember. And I hope you do, too.
