2,819 killed. 289 intact bodies found. 1,717 families never received remains. 1,609 lost a partner or spouse. 3,051 children lost a parent. 115 nations whose citizens were killed in the attacks. 26 days after 9/11 the U.S. began bombing Afghanistan. 1.4 million Americans changed their holiday-travel plans from plane to train or car. 35-39 - age of the greatest number that died. 99 number of days the fires continued to burn.
I was 7 years old on September 11, 2001. All I remember is being downtown in Huntsville and scared because all I knew was that planes were hitting tall buildings. And for a couple of years after that, until I really understood what had happened, I was still scared whenever planes flew over our house. Now I can't stand it when I look at a digital clock that's at 9:11. Always Remember. Never Forget. 9/11/01.
