Remembering Yesterday

Greetings Listers!

Yesterday was the six-year anniversary of the tragic events that occurred on September 11th. It was a horrific time in our lives, filled with death and destruction, and remembered as the day that started the “War on Terror.” 9-11 was a horrendous day, one of the worst in American history, and served as a catalyst for some significant effects, both good and bad. Here are just some of those far-reaching consequences (and some less serious ones as well):

- Nearly 3,000 people were killed, including 92 people on board American Airlines Flight 11, and 43 people on United Airlines Flight 93

- It was the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil

- Over 1,036 books have been published about the attacks

- Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9-11 currently holds the record for the highest box office receipts by a general release documentary

- A variety of conspiracy theories have emerged which contradict the mainstream account of the September 11, 2001 attacks

- In 1997, the United States finally reached Mars on September 11th

- Harry Connick Jr., Ludacris, the NFL Baltimore Ravens’ Ed Reed, and Jesus of Nazareth were all born on Sept. 11

- If you have any of these names, you probably can’t fly on a plane because of 9-11

- The FBI put Usama Bin Laden atop the Most Wanted List

- George Bush was re-elected as the President of the United States

It was possibly the most consequential event in the history of America. And just like the JFK assassination, Apollo moon landing, Berlin Wall destruction, Challenger Space Shuttle explosion, etc., people will always remember exactly what they were doing at that time. 9/11 will forever remain on the American conscience. And for many people – 20% of Americans who lost friends or family members, the victims and heroes will always be in their hearts.
