At 8:46 a.m., five hijackers crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the World Trade Center’s North Tower (1 WTC) and at 9:03 a.m. another five hijackers crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower (2 WTC). There were a total of 2,996 deaths, including the 19 hijackers and 2,977 victims. The victims that day included one Franciscan Priest, while he was performing his priestly duties on the injured and dead.
I remember that day…I was living in Maine at the time. My girlfriend called me from Rhode Island and told me to quickly turn on my t.v. I watched in horror as the second jet slammed into the second tower. I sat there and cried and knew from that momenton the world would never be the same again.
May God Almighty have mercy on us all. If we don’t get down on our knees and pray we will never know true peace.
To Jesus Through Mary!
The world must be ruled by love! ~ Blessed John Paul II
