On this night 21 years ago:
246 people went to sleep knowing they had a flight in the morning.
2,606 people went to sleep before work in the morning.
343 firefighters went to sleep knowing they might fight a fire and save a life the next day.
60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol.
8 paramedics went to sleep before their morning shift.

None of them saw past 9:59am on Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life would never be the same for thousands of people, their families, friends, and strangers.

God bless those who perished.
God bless their families and friends.
