Our look back and remembrance of 9/11/01 continues with this third act of horror.
American Airlines Flight 77: a Boeing 757 aircraft, departed Washington Dulles International Airport at 8:20 a.m. en route to Los Angeles with a crew of six and 53 passengers, not including five hijackers. After takeoff, the hijackers took control of the plane and flew it into the western façade of the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, at 9:37 a.m. By this time, everyone knew that evil people were attacking various sites across our country. The media coverage was showing the tragic events and the shock was horrible. |
As the picture above shows - it was no longer skyscrapers that were the target - anything, anywhere could be next and our country was now working to immediately ground all aircraft across our USA airspace.
And as we shared on Monday via our D2BU post ( https://fsidomr.wixsite.com/d2bu/post/1-of-7-it-was-8-46am ), that first plane that flew into the north tower shocked us. And yesterday as shared on our OMF post ( https://outingmnfun.weebly.com/blog/2-of-7-it-was-903am ), the second plane flying into the south tower sickened us all. Now, with the third plane hitting the Pentagon, we were clearly under attack, but the good fight against it all was starting.
Sadly this look back at the events of 9/11, has more to remember which we will continue sharing tomorrow via our FTGA website
