Manage episode 301212090 series 2976548
There are those moments in history where something major happens and we always remember where we were at that precise moment. For all of us 19 years ago, it was September 11, 2001.
In total that day, 2,977 people lost their lives and over 25,000 were injured, with many more health related issues and deaths being reported through the years from those who survived the initial attacks and those who worked down at Ground Zero during the rescue and recovery phase.
9/11 is the single deadliest terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers.
