Moments of silence, time of remembrance


Seven years ago, at this moment, the first of two American Airlines planes hit the World Trade Centre.

8:45 am American Airlines Flight 11 out of Boston, Massachusetts, crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Centre.

9:03 a.m.: United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston, crashes into the south tower of the World Trade Centre.

9:43 a.m.: American Airlines Flight 77 crashes into the Pentagon.

10:10 a.m.: United Airlines Flight 93 crashes in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, southeast of Pittsburgh.

Four planes; about 3,000 lives, and more still killed in the wars spawned in the name of those attacks. Try to find some way to remember those who lost their lives that day, even if it's a small prayer or a moment of silence.
