pWotD Episode 3419: September 11 attacks Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 665,793 views on Friday, 11 September 2026 our article of the day is September 11 attacks.The September 11 attacks, colloquially known as 9/11, were a coordinated series of suicide attacks perpetrated by the Islamic terrorist organization al-Qaeda against the United States in 2001. A total of 19 hijackers commandeered four commercial passenger airliners. The first two planes were flown into each of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center in New York City, while the third plane crashed into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, in Arlington County, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in a rural field in Pennsylvania during a passenger revolt.The ringleader, Mohamed Atta, flew American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. At 9:03 a.m. Marwan al-Shehhi flew United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower. Both collapsed within an hour and forty-two minutes, destroying the remaining five structures in the complex. Hani Hanjour flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m., causing a partial collapse. United Airlines Flight 93, hijacked by Ziad Jarrah, was believed to target either the United States Capitol or the White House. Alerted to the previous attacks, the passengers revolted and the hijackers crashed the aircraft into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, at 10:03 a.m. The Federal Aviation Administration ordered a ground stop for all traffic in U. S. airspace, requiring all airborne aircraft to return to their point of origin or divert to Canada. The actions undertaken in Canada to support incoming aircraft and their occupants were collectively titled Operation Yellow Ribbon.That evening, the Central Intelligence Agency informed President George W. Bush that its Counterterrorism Center had identified the attacks as having been the work of al-Qaeda under Osama bin Laden. The United States responded by invading Afghanistan and launching its Global War on Terror, with the stated goal of eliminating hostile groups it deemed terrorist organizations and the governments it purported to support them. NATO's invocation of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty—its only usage to date—called upon allies to fight al-Qaeda as well. As U. S. and allied invasion forces swept through Afghanistan, bin Laden eluded them. He denied any involvement until 2004, when excerpts of a taped statement in which he accepted responsibility for the attacks were released. Al-Qaeda's cited motivations included U. S. support of Israel, the presence of U. S. military bases in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq. The nearly decade-long manhunt for bin Laden concluded in May 2011, when he was killed during a U. S. military raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The war in Afghanistan continued for another decade.The attacks killed 2,977 people, injured thousands more, and gave rise to long-term health consequences while causing at least US$10 billion in infrastructure and property damage. It remains the deadliest terrorist attack in history, as well as the deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement personnel in American history, killing 343 and 72 members, respectively. The crashes of Flight 11 and Flight 175 were the deadliest aviation disasters of all time, and the collision of Flight 77 with the Pentagon resulted in the fourth-highest number of ground fatalities in a plane crash in history. The destruction of the World Trade Center and its environs seriously harmed the U. S. economy and induced global market shocks. Many other countries strengthened anti-terrorism legislation and expanded their powers of law enforcement and intelligence agencies. The total number of deaths caused by the attacks, combined with the death tolls from the conflicts they directly incited, has been estimated by the Costs of War Project to be more than 4.5 million.Cleanup of the World Trade Center site (colloquially known as "Ground Zero") was completed in May 2002, while the Pentagon was repaired within a year. After delays in the design of a replacement complex, six new buildings were planned to replace the lost towers at the World Trade Center site, along with a museum and memorial dedicated to those who were killed or injured in the attacks. The tallest building, One World Trade Center, began construction in 2006 and opened in 2014. Memorials to the attacks include the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City; the Pentagon Memorial in Arlington County, Virginia; and the Flight 93 National Memorial at the Pennsylvania crash site.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:44 UTC on Saturday, 12 September 2026.For the full current version of the article, see September 11 attacks on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Salli.

Today marks the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, the day in which 19 individuals, each following the ideology of Islam, brought terrorism to the United States of America. 2,977 lives were taken. People were going about their day--getting up, going to work, involved in meetings--when terror struck. First it was American Airlines Flight 11 that hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center. 17 minutes later American Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower. These were airliners fully fueled. Then American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon. We aired the testimony on Crosstalk of Lieutenant Colonel Brian Birdwell who spoke at a VCY Rally. He was the only survivor of the Pentagon's E-Ring between corridors 4 and 5 which was directly in the path of Flight 77. Another airliner, United Airlines Flight 93, was also overpowered by Islamic terrorists. It was believed that the intended target was the White House. Aboard that flight was a man by the name of Todd Beamer. Todd used the Airfone to make a call. The person taking that call was Lisa Jefferson. 20 years ago on Crosstalk, nearing the 5th anniversary of 9/11, Jim interviewed Lisa, who went from being GTE Airfone supervisor, suburban wife and mother to being the listening ear to a nation shattered by tragedy. She tells the gripping account of 9/11 from her vantage point, recalling the moment when she took the call from Todd Beamer aboard United Airlines Flight 93 and when she heard the immortal words, "Let's Roll." We've gone back into the archives and have pulled out excerpts from that Crosstalk program, which was originally broadcast on August 14, 2006.

fWotD Episode 3416: American Airlines Flight 11 Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 11 September 2026, is American Airlines Flight 11.American Airlines Flight 11 was a scheduled domestic transcontinental passenger flight that was hijacked by Mohamed Atta and four other al-Qaeda hijackers on the morning of September 11, 2001. It was one of four aircraft hijacked as part of the September 11 attacks. Atta deliberately flew the aircraft into the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex in New York City, killing all 92 people aboard, including the five hijackers. The impact destroyed all escape routes from the floors above the impact zone, trapping more than 1,300 occupants on floors 92–110, none of whom survived. People below the impact zone were also killed as a result of the attack.The hijacking and crash of Flight 11 resulted in the greatest number of fatalities of the four hijacked flights, both aboard the aircraft and on the ground, and is the deadliest aviation incident in history. The aircraft involved was a Boeing 767 operating American Airlines' daily scheduled morning transcontinental service from Boston Logan International Airport in Massachusetts to Los Angeles International Airport in California.The airplane left the runway at 07:59. Less than fifteen minutes after takeoff, the hijackers injured two flight attendants, murdered one passenger, and breached the cockpit while forcing the passengers and crew to the rear of the aircraft. The assailants attacked both pilots, allowing lead hijacker Mohamed Atta to take over the controls. Air traffic controllers suspected that the flight was in distress because the crew became non-responsive. They realized that the plane had been hijacked when Atta's announcement to the hostages was accidentally transmitted to air traffic control instead of through the aircraft's PA system. Also, two flight attendants were able to contact American Airlines and pass along information relevant to the situation, including casualties suffered by the crew and passengers.Atta flew the hijacked plane into the North Tower of the World Trade Center from floors 93 through 99 at 08:46 local time. The impact was witnessed by people on the streets of New York City as well as the nearby state of New Jersey. The media quickly began reporting on the incident and speculated that the crash had been an accident. Seventeen minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the World Trade Center's South Tower at 09:03, dispelling any notion it was accidental.The damage caused by the plane and the fires ignited by its crash caused the North Tower to collapse at 10:28 that morning, resulting in hundreds of additional casualties. While the recovery effort at the World Trade Center site did lead to the discovery and identification of body fragments from certain individuals who boarded Flight 11, many have not been identified.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:11 UTC on Friday, 11 September 2026.For the full current version of the article, see American Airlines Flight 11 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Danielle.

25 years ago, the United States was rocked by the tragedy of 9/11. American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 struck the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon. United Airlines Flight 93 went down in a field in Pennsylvania after its passengers fought back against the hijackers. Almost 3,000 people died that day. For 25 years, the echo of that tragedy has been heard – everyone remembers where they were, how they heard, and the paralyzing fear in the aftermath. None more than the survivors and the loved ones of those who lost their lives that day. David Ferrugio was an ordinary seventh grader on that Tuesday morning, stressed about homework and school and the fact that his friend, Jeff, was late again. But when Jeff showed up and said, “Hey, David, doesn't your dad work at the World Trade Center? A plane just crashed into it,” everything changed. Today, David Ferrugio, host of Dead Talks, author of You're Not Dead Yet, and friend of the podcast, is here to talk about the complicated grief that came with losing his father in the 9/11 attacks – the constant push and pull of public and private grief, his identity being tied to this tragic loss, and what it looks like 25 years later.

On this special edition of the podcast, marking the 25thanniversary of September 11, 2001, we welcome JEFFREY ROBINSON—international bestselling author, investigative journalist, and one of the most accomplished storytellers working today. The author of more than 30 books, both fiction and nonfiction, ROBINSON's remarkable body of work includes The Laundrymen: Inside the World's Third Largest Business, biographies including Grace of Monaco: The True Story, and an extraordinary library of investigativeand narrative nonfiction. A native New Yorker who spent 37 years in Europe as a writer and investigative journalist, ROBINSON now lives in New York City.ROBINSON joins us to discuss his powerful and timely newbook, Ash and Honor: The Untold 368 Minutes of 9/11 (ST. MARTIN'S PRESS), published for the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. On that terrible morning, four commercial aircraft were hijacked and used incoordinated terrorist attacks: two struck the World Trade Center in New York City, one crashed into the Pentagon, and UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 93 went down in Pennsylvania after passengers and crew fought back. Nearly 3,000 innocentpeople lost their lives in the deadliest terrorist attack in American history, a tragedy whose impact continues to be felt a quarter-century later.Drawing upon the testimony of more than 60 eyewitnessesto history, many of whom had never previously spoken publicly, ROBINSON takes readers inside the crucial 368 minutes that followed the attacks. From AIR FORCE ONE and the skies over America to the PENTAGON, NORAD, the WHITE HOUSE, military command centers, and communities suddenly overwhelmed by diverted aircraft, Ash and Honor offers a gripping and often astonishing account of the confusion, courage, fear, and split-second decisions that shaped one of the darkest days in American history.In our conversation, ROBINSON sheds new light on the actions and responses of PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, the SECRET SERVICE, DEFENSE SECRETARY DONALD RUMSFELD, military and aviation officials, and those charged with protecting the nation amid unprecedented chaos. We discuss extraordinary moments aboard AIR FORCE ONE, including a classified phone call between RUMSFELD at thePENTAGON and PRESIDENT BUSH in the air—and the startling moment when PRESIDENT BUSH gave RUMSFELD permission to shoot down a suspected aircraft, a revelation that may surprise many listeners.What exactly happened, what information was believed atthe time, and how close did the nation come to an even more unimaginable decision? That is one of the remarkable stories we explore in this compelling conversation.As we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember with profound sorrow the nearly 3,000 innocent lives taken that day, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice whilerushing toward danger to save others. We offer our sincere prayers and deepest condolences to all who continue to carry the pain of that terrible day, and we reaffirm a simple but enduring promise: we will remember, we will honor, and we will never forget.Email this podcast: byrnedesk@gmail.com
There are moments that divide history into a before and an after—and there are people whose lives become forever trapped at that dividing line. My guest today is Virginia “Ginny” Buckingham, author of the deeply personal memoir, On My Watch. Before September 11, 2001, Ginny was one of Massachusetts' most accomplished young public servants. She served as chief of staff to two governors and, at just 35 years old, became the first woman to lead the Massachusetts Port Authority, which oversees Boston's Logan International Airport. Then came 9/11. American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175—the two planes that struck the World Trade Center—had departed from Logan. In the anguish and confusion that followed, America searched desperately for answers. Politics searched for someone to blame. And Ginny Buckingham became a target. She was publicly condemned, politically abandoned and eventually forced to resign. Two years later, she was personally named in a wrongful-death lawsuit. The 9/11 Commission would ultimately establish that Logan's security checkpoints had operated according to the federal regulations in place at the time. But public vindication could not erase the private wounds. Ginny endured years of guilt, self-doubt and post-traumatic stress. As she writes, she was not shattered instantly, like hand-blown glass, but gradually—like a bottle cast into the sea and slowly broken apart by the relentless movement of the waves. She lost her career. She lost her sense of identity and worth. And she nearly lost her life. Yet love remained: a husband who stood beside her, children whose presence called her back from the darkness, and a faith that taught her to examine what was truly hers—but never to confess to another person's evil. On My Watch is not simply another book about September 11. It is a story about what happens when the world assigns you a story that is not true—and how you find the courage to reclaim your own life. It is about scapegoating, the dangerous human impulse to transform fear into blame. It is about learning that responsibility must be grounded in truth, not in false guilt. And it is about a different kind of resilience—not forgetting, not simply “moving on,” but moving forward and using even an unjust burden to bring light to others. Today, Virginia Buckingham stands again—on her watch, in her truth. Ginny Buckingham, welcome to The Avrum Rosensweig Show. ——

On this episode of the Cuckoo4Politics Podcast, host Michael Desrosiers sits down with Ken Diaz, Master Executive Council President representing United Airlines Flight Attendants, which is part of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA), for an in-depth conversation breaking down the realities behind one of the airline industry's most closely watched labor negotiations.From the overwhelming rejection of the tentative agreement to the ongoing debates surrounding retro pay, sit time, scope protections, and industry consolidation, Ken offers listeners a detailed look into the complexities of collective bargaining and the strategic decisions shaping the future of United Flight Attendants.Throughout the discussion, Ken explains why union leadership viewed the membership's response as a powerful mandate to return to the table and strengthen the proposal. The episode also tackles widespread misconceptions about retro pay timing, contractual language, retirement impacts, and how negotiations are influenced by broader airline industry economics — including mergers, fuel costs, outsourcing concerns, and competitive comparisons with carriers like Delta.Michael and Ken also explore the importance of educating union members during negotiations through transparent communication, FAQs, videos, and detailed contract analysis so members can better understand the long-term implications of proposed agreements.This episode provides listeners with a rare behind-the-scenes perspective into how airline labor negotiations unfold, the challenges negotiators face balancing immediate gains with long-term protections, and why scope clauses remain critical in protecting flight attendant jobs amid a rapidly evolving industry landscape.Subscribe to Cuckoo4Politics on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and everywhere podcasts are available.00:00 – Introduction and recent trip experiences01:29 – Introduction of Ken Diaz and review of negotiations02:26 – Membership rejects the tentative agreement05:47 – Key contract concerns from member surveys09:39 – Improving member education during negotiations14:14 – Retro pay explained and common misconceptions19:02 – Sit pay calculations and operational realities25:38 – Financial scope of the agreement and industry comparisons30:45 – Tax implications of retro pay37:45 – Retirement impacts and long-term value of pay increases39:14 – Scope clause myths and protections44:34 – Airline mergers, consolidation, and future risks50:54 – Industry outlook and future bargaining strategy52:54 – Why closed contracts matter moving forward#cuckoo4politics #cuckoo_4_politics#labor #afacwa #flightattendant #flightattendantjob #flightattendantlife #payusorchaos

To date, Unidentified History has covered some truly interesting, curious, and fascinating events. But we now journey back to what might truly be the most important period in the history of Ufology... the summer of 1947. On this episode, we cover the first of two massive events that would reshape everything everyone knew, or thought they knew, about UFOs. This episode explores the origins of the UFO phenomenon by focusing on the pivotal 1947 Kenneth Arnold sighting that introduced the term 'flying saucer.' Join us for a detailed analysis of this historical sighting and the possibility of extraterrestrial contact. As critical as the Kenneth Arnold sighting was, and still is, it was one of many curious events that transpired over the period of a few weeks in June and July of 1947. On this episode, we also take a look at the United Airlines Flight 105 incident, and the very controversial Maury Island event. How are these three events inextricably intertwined with each other? Rey Cash joins Unidentified History for the first time to help Dave and PC Tunney delve into credible witness accounts, conspiracy theories, journeys into the unknown, tragedy, and the paranormal connections surrounding these events. All that plus we look at the trailer for S4: The Bob Lazar Story, try to make sense of the disappearance of William Neil McCasland, and get disgusted, all over again, as Matthew Brown explains how UAP Whistleblowers continue to be targeted for entrapment by nefarious elements of the intelligence community. It's our most important episode of Unidentified History yet and we invite you to join us!Once thought to be solely the stuff of science fiction, UAPs (UFOs) are very real to thousands around the world. In 2021, the US Government confirmed that leaked UAP video was legitimate. Ever since, there has been an explosion of interest in the topic. Yet, we are no closer to understanding UAPs, where they come from, or who/what is behind the phenomenon. In this series, we look to bridge the gap between the past and present by looking at some of the most important UAP sightings in history and determining whether the question of "are we alone in the universe?" might have already been answered.About the Chairshot Radio NetworkLaunched in 2017, the Chairshot Radio Network presents you with the best in sports, entertainment, and sports entertainment.

"I was in the car with my wife and one year-old listening to the radio. They announced that united flight 232 had crashed. I was supposed to be on that plane." ---------- In 1989, Jerry was on the phone with a travel agent, ready to book his seat on United Airlines Flight 232 from Denver to Chicago. But something strange happened. His gut clenched. He felt sick. Anxious. When an earlier flight was mentioned, his body relaxed. Calm. Peace. He didn't know why, but he listened. Later that day, from a car in New York with his wife and one-year-old child, he heard the news. Flight 232 had crashed. One hundred twelve people died. Jerry was would have been on that plane. Years later, he finds Touched by Heaven, and his story leads to a conversation with Trapper's podcast friend, Jim Harold.

What really happened aboard United Airlines Flight 629? In this chilling deep dive, we unravel the eerie chain of events behind the 1955 mid-air explosion that ripped through the skies above Colorado. This isn't just a true crime story—it's a disturbing tale of murder at 10,000 feet, government investigations, a mysterious suitcase, and a calculated act of domestic terrorism that left 44 people dead. Our video explores the full story behind the crash of Flight 629, a commercial flight that became one of the first U.S. airline bombings in history. Using forensic analysis, eyewitness accounts, and historical data, we reconstruct the events leading up to the crash—and introduce the dark figure behind it all: Jack Gilbert Graham. But why did he do it? And how did the FBI figure it out? Thank you for watching Roanoke Tales and I hope you enjoy What REALLY Brought Down Flight 629?

The provided audio excerpts feature a speaker discussing a conspiracy theory connecting the recent crash of UPS Flight 2976 with the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the simultaneous death of Dick Cheney. The speaker points out numerous "coded" correlations, such as the flight number matching the official 9/11 death toll (2976) and the altitude of the crash relating to the second plane that struck the World Trade Center (Flight 175). Furthermore, the speaker links the crash's location (Muhammad Ali airport) and the election of a Muslim mayor in New York City to an alleged pattern of intentional, scripted media events designed to produce irony and symbolism. The speaker rejects the idea that these connections are merely coincidence, suggesting instead that major events are pre-planned simulations orchestrated by the same powerful entities.That is a very interesting request, especially given how much of the source material is focused on examining patterns and connections. It is certainly helpful to isolate the specific claims and observations made by the speaker.Here are five quotes from the source material, followed by a list of the connections the speaker observed:"Flight 2976 UPS crash 2976 911 death toll." (This quote is the speaker's original tweet that drew the connection between the flight number and the number of 9/11 fatalities.)"It's not like the media is objectively just reporting stuff for us. Um, everything has an agenda." (This captures the speaker's core belief about mainstream media reporting.)"What we're suggesting here is this coincidence the result of intentionality? Was it scheduled? Was it faked?" (This clarifies the central question of the speaker's open inquiry into the event.)"To go outside of that box and include other possibilities such as pre-scheduled scripted events. Uh that would be something you would reach with an open mind, open inquiry outside their closed system." (This explains the speaker's view of what constitutes "open-mindedness" regarding major media events.)"No, the purpose of media is to conform you to their prefabricated events." (This defines the speaker's asserted primary function of media.)The speaker uses the term "coincidence" to describe a series of connections between the UPS Flight 2976 crash and the 9/11 events, suggesting that these connections indicate "intentionality," "scheduling," or "scripting".The specific connections noted are:Flight Number/Death Toll Match: The flight number, 2976, matches the official 9/11 death toll (2,976).Altitude Correlation: The plane reached 175 ft. This number correlates with United Airlines Flight 175, which was the second plane to hit the World Trade Center on 9/11.Airport/Hijacker Name: The crash occurred near the Muhammad Ali airport. Muhammad Ata was the lead hijacker in the 9/11 attacks.Contemporaneous Terror Plot: There was a breaking terror plot in Dearborn, Michigan, involving individuals named Muhammad Ali and Muham Mount Moot.Fatalities in Wiki: At one point, the total fatalities listed on the Wiki page for the event was 911 (though the speaker notes it had previously been 411).Dick Cheney's Timing: The crash occurred on the same day that Dick Cheney died. Cheney is noted to have a historical association with 9/11.Visual Symbolism (Plane Hitting Building): The plane crashed into a building, which the speaker notes is reminiscent of the Pentagon or the Twin Towers, along with the subsequent dramatic flames.Visual Symbolism (Faces in Smoke): The side view of the explosion in the Wikipedia article looked like a giant cat face. This is compared to a famous example of a devil face seen in the smoke photography of 9/11.Political/Irony Theme: The crash followed Zohan winning the mayoralty of New York City. This led to a flood of 9/11 imagery and people noticing the irony of New York electing a Muslim mayor followed by a plane hitting a building.5 Selected QuotesList of Coincidences and Connections

Ltt Gen. Marc Sasseville was born into an Air Force family and that played a significant role in his decision to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy and become an Air Force officer. After 14 years on active duty, Sasseville shifted to the Air National Guard in 1999 and also became a commercial airline pilot.On September 11, 2001, Sasseville was serving with the 113th Wing of the District of Columbia Air National Guard at Andrews Air Force base when Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four airliners. Once the second plane struck the World Trade Center, Sasseville and everyone else on base knew it was a terrorist attack. But would there be more planes? And would they be headed for Washington, D.C.?In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Gen. Sasseville tells how that day unfolded. He explains what development required pilots in the D.C. Air National Guard to scramble their F-16's and be ready to confront any other other planes being flown by terrorists. But they had a big problem. None of their F-16's were armed with missiles and there was no time to wait for that. The reality soon hit home: if they needed to stop an airliner, they'd have to hit it with their own planes. If that was required, they would not be coming home.Sasseville takes us through his thinking on the most effective way to strike an airliner with an F-16. Ultimately, that would not be necessary due to the heroism of the passengers aboard United Airlines Flight 93. Sasseville honors them and he tells us what it was like flying near the Pentagon not long after it was attacked.He also reveals the unexpected assignment he received later in that day on 9/11 and details his time as commander of the 410th Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron in the early days of the Iraq War. Finally, he reflects upon what was really asked of him on 9/11 and his instinctive willingness to put his life on the line to protect our nation.
In 1978, United Airlines Flight 173 was completing its flight and landing in Portland, OR. When the landing gear was lowered the crew heard a very loud "thunk" and the plane began to noticeably yaw. The captain feared improper landing gear engagement and ordered termination of intended landing to circle back and come up with another plan. Unfortunately, the crew did not check fuel status and the plane ran out of fuel, stalling, crashing, and killing 11 people. The lesson? Pay attention to a safe landing, but mitigate problems associated with that by NOT forgetting what's keeping you in the air in the first place. Landing is important. Fuel is MORE important. Similarly, we need to keep proper focus in our lives. Nate is preaching on the subject of RESET, taking things back to the MORE important instead of inappropriate attention to the merely important. Keep your eyes on this series ... and fly safe!▶️ Nate's Message on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/ytp4e3df
In this episode of The Crux True Survival Story Podcast, hosts Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen explore the harrowing survival stories from the South Tower during the 9/11 attacks. When United Airlines Flight 175 struck between floors 77-85, only one stairwell remained intact - Stairwell A. Faced with conflicting information and impossible choices, 18 people made the critical decision that saved their lives. The episode follows the remarkable stories of Brian Clark, who risked his own escape to save a trapped stranger, and Stanley Praimnath, who survived the plane's wing slicing through his office. Kaycee and Julie examine how split-second decisions, leadership under pressure, and trusting your instincts can mean the difference between life and death.

Flight Crash In NY From The WTC Attack to Other Disasters. Special Episode. When the world thinks of catastrophic events in New York City, two significant tragedies come to mind: the World Trade Center (WTC) attack on September 11, 2001, and the devastating crash of TWA Flight 800 in 1996. These disasters, marked by unimaginable loss and sorrow, remain etched in the memories of those who lived through them and those who responded to the aftermath. Stacey Goodman, a retired Suffolk County, New York, Police Officer, is our guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. The podcast episode is available for free on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. She witnessed both of these harrowing events firsthand. With a background as a Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT) specialist for the Federal Government, Goodman was no stranger to tragedy. Her first experience in disaster response was the TWA Flight 800 crash, a tragedy that took the lives of all 230 passengers aboard. Years later, her training and federal security clearance led her to Ground Zero, where she worked tirelessly on the Pile for 23 days following the WTC attack. Flight Crash In NY From The WTC Attack to Other Disasters. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms In an exclusive conversation, Goodman shared, “The weight of these experiences is something you carry with you forever. Working in the heart of such devastation, recovering human remains, and facing the unimaginable grief of victims' families is something that stays with you.” Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. Her book, The Dust Never Settles, chronicles her experiences and the lasting impact of her service. Goodman describes the challenges of confronting conspiracy theories that often emerge from these events. “There will always be people who question what happened, who suggest alternative narratives. For me, I know what I saw, what I touched, and what I felt. That reality is indisputable,” she shared. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms The TWA Flight 800 crash, a tragedy that unfolded off the coast of Long Island, was initially suspected to be a terrorist attack. After a lengthy investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the FBI, the official cause was determined to be an explosion of flammable fuel vapors due to a short circuit. Despite the findings, conspiracy theories still linger, fueled by misinformation and conspiracy theorists. Many of whom spread their message across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). Flight Crash In NY From The WTC Attack to Other Disasters. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. On September 11, 2001, the narrative of terrorism was tragically evident. The attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, along with the crash of United Airlines Flight 93, left an indelible scar on the nation. The collapse of the Twin Towers killed 2,753 people, while the Pentagon attack claimed 184 lives and Flight 93’s crash in Pennsylvania took the lives of 40 passengers. For Goodman, the aftermath of 9/11 was a grueling journey. “Working at Ground Zero was surreal,” she said. “We weren't just sifting through rubble—we were uncovering stories, lives, and the remnants of a tragedy that the world watched unfold in real-time.” Today, Goodman’s reflections resonate through her writing, public speaking, and podcast appearances on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, in addition to Apple Podcasts, Spotify and many others. Her mission is to share the unfiltered reality of disaster response, honoring the victims and the resilience of those who endured unimaginable loss.

Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms Goodman's experiences serve as a reminder of the human cost of these tragedies. While platforms like LinkedIn may showcase her professional accomplishments, her story goes beyond the accolades. It is a testament to courage, sacrifice, and the resolve to face darkness while seeking light. In a world shaped by these tragedies, the voices of those like Stacey Goodman remind us of the lasting impact of loss and the strength required to carry its weight. Her story, both sobering and inspiring, echoes the need to approach these events with empathy, understanding, and respect for the truth.

Released just 12 days before the real 'Three-Mile Island' nuclear incident, this film was discussed by everybody in 1979.Sean and Sarah wonder whether this brilliant film has had the cultural impact that it should have had, before delving into what the modern day film industry is failing at (It's pretty much everything).

It's Wednesday, September 11th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus 13 Christian prisoners released in Nicaragua Praise God! Thirteen Christians are out of prison after facing arrest in Nicaragua last December. Authorities in the Central American country falsely charged them with money laundering, sentenced them to prison for up to 15 years, and fined them nearly $1 billion. The 13 individuals were pastors and attorneys affiliated with Mountain Gateway, a Christian ministry based out of Texas. They faced arrest right after holding a large evangelistic event. The ministry said, “This is the day we have prayed and believed God for. These pastors and attorneys have suffered greatly for the sake of the Gospel, but it has not been in vain. The Kingdom of God is advancing because of their persecution.” Isaiah 61:1 says, “He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” First moments of the 9/11 Muslim terrorist attacks Twenty-three years ago today, at 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001, Dick Oliver, a reporter for Good Day New York on WNYW-TV, uttered these shocking words on live television as he talked to the anchor, Jim Ryan. OLIVER: “Jim, just a few moments ago, something, believed to be a plane, crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. I just saw flames inside. You can see the smoke coming out of the, of the tower. We have no idea of what it was. I was a tremendous boom just a few moments ago. You can hear around me emergency vehicles heading towards the scene. Now, this could have been an aircraft or it could have been something internal. It appears to be something coming from the outside due to the nature of the opening on about the 100th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center.” Minutes later, Dick Oliver observed this. OLIVER: “Now, the smoke coming out of the opening appears to be black smoke. This would indicate things that are burning inside. We have no idea of what happened. But we did hear what sounded like, sounded like an aircraft, and then, a tremendous boom. Now, I don't know whether we can confirm that that was an aircraft or not.” And then, for the first time, Fox 5 anchor Jim Ryan cited the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. RYAN: “One's memory has to go back to another terrorist attack -- one would hope it is not this time, but if it were a plane that crashed into the side of the building -- you would imagine that there would be something on the ground that would be visible.” OLIVER: “That's true, Jim. I cannot see the ground from here. You recall back in, I believe, it was 1945 when a U.S. Air Force plane crashed into the, about the 80th floor of the Empire State Building during a foggy night. The skies here, as you can see, are perfectly clear. So, I'm starting to lean to the idea that perhaps, whatever happened here, came from the inside of the World Trade Center.” RYAN: “Something has either crashed into the World Trade Center. (Pause) Ah. If it. (Pause) We're, we're, I'm just told that Metro traffic is reporting that it was indeed a plane crash. If that's the case, ‘Where's the plane?' I would ask. I don't see it in that live picture there. One's thoughts, obviously, go back to a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center that created havoc there back in the early 90s.” On September 11, 2001, 19 Muslim terrorists hijacked four airplanes, two of which they flew into the World Trade Center towers. A third plane hit the Pentagon, which headquarters the Department of Defense, and the fourth, United Airlines Flight 93, which was likely destined to take out the Capitol, was downed in Pennsylvania by brave Americans who fought back. All told, 2,996 Americans perished along with all 19 Muslim al-Qaeda terrorists. Harris on the offensive in first debate with Trump Last night, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris met for the first time for the much-anticipated presidential debate hosted by ABC News in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, reports The Epoch Times. To her credit, Harris walked over to Trump's podium with an outstretched hand. Trump shook her hand. HARRIS: “Kamala Harris. Let's have a good debate.” TRUMP: “Nice to see you. Let's have fun.” HARRIS: “Thank you.” TRUMP: “Thank you.” From the very beginning, Kamala went on the offense and retained the upper hand throughout, often appealing directly to the millions of American viewers for their vote by looking into the camera. Here is one representative exchange between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, reports RealClearPolitics.com. HARRIS: “I actually have the endorsement of 200 Republicans who have formally worked with President Bush, Mitt Romney and John McCain, including the endorsement of former Vice President Dick Cheney and Congressmember Liz Cheney. “If you want to really know the inside track on who the former president is, if he didn't make it clear already, just ask people who have worked with him. His former Chief of Staff, a four-star General, has said he has contempt for the Constitution of the United States. His former National Security Adviser has said he is dangerous and unfit. His former Secretary of Defense has said the nation, the Republic, would never survive another Trump term. “When we listen to this kind of rhetoric, when the issues that affect the American people are not being addressed, I think the choice is clear in this election. DAVID MUIR: “President Trump, I'll give you a quick minute to respond.” TRUMP: “Thank you, because when I hear that, see, I'm a different kind of a person. I fired most of those people, not so graciously. They did bad things or a bad job. I fired them. They never fired one person. “They didn't fire anybody having to do with Afghanistan and the Taliban and the 13 people whose were just killed, viciously and violently killed. And I got to know the parents and the family. They didn't fire. They should have fired all those generals, all those top people, because that was one of the most incompetently handled situations anybody has ever seen. “So, when somebody does a bad job, I fire him. And you take a guy like [Secretary of Defense Mark] Esper, he was no good. I fired him. So, he writes a book. Another one writes a book. They have done such a poor job and they never fire anybody. Look at the economy. Look, look at the inflation. They didn't fire any of their economists. They have the same people. That's a good way not to have books written about you. But, just to finish, I got more votes than any Republican in history, by far.” No matter how you slice it, Harris hit a rhetorical homerun. The radical leftist successfully flipped the switch and sounded more like a Republican than Trump, appealing to law and order, small businesses, and love of country. Despite the fact that she is the most Leftist candidate to run for the White House, she sounded like a centrist. No question about it. Kamala Harris will enjoy a post-debate bump. Ninth Circuit rules in favor of Christian colleges The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Christian colleges at the end of last month. A group of students in favor of sexually perverted lifestyles were suing Christian schools for what they said was discrimination against their so-called sexual orientation or gender identity. The court ruled against the students, saying that colleges holding to Biblical views of sexuality are not disqualified from federal funds. Pastor thanks God for His protection after home shot up And finally, a Tennessee pastor is thanking God for protecting his family after a gunman fired at their house last Tuesday. Greg Locke is the pastor of Global Vision Bible Church in Mt. Juliet. The attack left dozens of bullet holes in his house and car. Only one of the family's daughters was home at the time, and thankfully was not injured. In an online post, Locke wrote, “One of the bullets cut through the headboard of our youngest daughter's bed and lodged in her pillow . . . Psalm 91 is true. God protected us in unimaginable and supernatural ways.” Psalm 91:1, 11 says, “The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty. … For [the Lord] will give His angels orders concerning you, to protect you in all your ways.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, September 11th, in the year of our Lord 2024.

Ron DiFrancesco moved to the New York City area in 2000 to take an investment job with a firm based in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. He was already at work on September 11, 2001, when the first plane hijacked by Al Qaeda terrorists struck the North Tower. People working in the South Tower were immediately told their building was fine and they should continue working. Soon a friend called DiFrancesco and urged him to evacuate. Just moments after leaving the spot where he had been working, a wing from United Airlines Flight 175 sliced through the office.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," DiFrancesco describes the horrors of what he saw happening in the North Tower after it was struck and before the South Tower was hit. He then walks us through the impact of the jetliner hitting his building, the intitially futile efforts to get downstairs and the "voice" that guided him to an exit that could get him away from all the debilitating smoke. DiFrancesco tells us about getting to the lobby, where he was directed to go, and the last thing he remembers as the South Tower came down. Some experts later concluded he was likely the last person to get out of the World Trade Center alive.He also discusses the injuries he suffered while getting out and the severe mental and emotional trauma that he and his family then endured for an extended time. DiFrancesco explains why he later decided to start speaking publicly about the horrific ordeal he endured.
Anna Davlantes, WGN Radio's investigative correspondent, joins Bob Sirott to share what happened this week in Chicago history.

Twenty-three years ago, al Qaeda terrorists hijacked passenger jets to use as missiles and crash two into the World Trade Center in New York City and one into the Pentagon. United Airlines Flight 93 – thanks to brave passengers onboard – crashed into an open field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania.These attacks came as a shock and a surprise.But they shouldn't have — particularly to the American intelligence community, professors of Middle East and Islamic studies at elite universities, the news media.To unpack why and discuss the threats facing America and other democratic societies all these years later, host Cliff May is joined by his FDD colleagues Hussain Abdul-Hussain and Jonathan Schanzer.

On this episode, Derek sits with Vilan Trub. Vilan is an accomplished filmmaker. I asked Vilan to come on the show as part of the “Derek Duvall Show 9/11 Outreach Program” as at the age of 14, he narrowly avoided injury from the wreckage of United Airlines Flight 175 crashing into the South Tower of the World Trade Center while he was walking to Stuyvesant High School. After the events of 9/11, Vilan returned to class next to Ground Zero after being told by the CDC that the air was safe to breathe, which has led to health complications to himself and his classmates over the years. Vilan will also be discussing his incredible film career and some highlights in his filmography such as "Susie Q", "Suburban Pimp" & "The Dirty Kind". Vilan is a firecracker of a New Yorker who speaks his mind and might go down as one of my all time favorite guests.
