I doubt that a moment as significant as this will ever have more bearing in my lifetime, than 8:46 a.m. on 9/11/01.
8:46:30[10] Flight 11 crashes at roughly 466 mph (790 km/h or 219m/s or 425 knots) into the north face of the North Tower (1 WTC) of the World Trade Center, between floors 93 and 99. (Many early accounts gave times between 8:45 and 8:50). The aircraft enters the tower intact. It plows to the building core, severing all three gypsum-encased stairwells, dragging combustibles with it. A powerful shock wave travels down to the ground and up again. The combustibles and the remnants of the aircraft are ignited by the burning fuel. As the building lacks a traditional full cage frame and depends almost entirely on the strength of a narrow structural core running up the center, fire at the center of the impact zone is in a position to compromise the integrity of all internal columns. People below the severed stairwells start to evacuate—no one above the impact zone is able to do so.

Remember this day. Take a pause in your daily routine. Say a prayer, and NEVER FORGET....
I will never forget until the day I die.

The MSM may want to "wash" this as a "Community Participation" Day,....but I don't see it like that.
Lest We Forget.

It's also State primary day here.
Maybe we can replace the minions of that other Muslim threat at well.
