The United States of America under attack
On an otherwise glorious late summer morning in New York City,
the World Trade Towers are struck by two commercial airliners hijacked by terrorists.
More than three thousand people perish as both towers collapse.
The moment of impact as Tower Two suffers the same fate as Tower One.
Tower Two begins to collapse.
Seconds later, the building implodes. Minutes later, Tower One will follow.
In the midst of the rubble,
New York's finest remind us who we are
Encouraging words are always welcome at
