Day 4 in Remembering 9/11...

Rescue teams from all over the US came to help search for the victims of the twin towers.

The Ground Zero rescue and recovery efforts officially lasted for 261 days. The rescue attempt found its last survivor 27 hours after the collapse. Rescue attempts continued for 2 weeks then the operation turned into a recovery event.

Operations ended on May 20th 2002.

York County Fire Training center houses a steel beam from the site.

Even today, this story continues. Many responders to the recovery effort succumbed to health issues and died.

They too will never be forgotten

Day 3 - Remembering 9/11

United Flight 93 - Shanksville PA

Flight 93 was highjacked and intended to be used to crash into the US Capitol building or the White House. Passengers and crew members learned about the other attacks of the morning and fought back against their hijackers. Their actions forced the plane down into an open field in Somerset county Pennsylvania.

They saved many lives that morning and are heroes.
