Remember the 20th anniversary of 9/11 with these sites and interactive tours
There is no doubt that the attacks on September 11th, 2001, had a huge impact, not only on the U.S. but across the world. The unthinkable happened when terrorists flew airplanes into the Twin Towers in New York City and The Pentagon, killing thousands. The day will forever be known as the 9/11 attacks.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of that tragic day. While millions across the globe watched the events live, there is a generation that thankfully didn’t have to go through the trauma of such a horrible day.
The victims and circumstances of the September 11th attacks will never be forgotten. Knowledge and education are the best way to preserve their memory. As we get ready to mark the anniversary, five websites will accurately explain the tragic events.
September 11 timeline
A detailed timeline is a great way to begin understanding how this tragic event happened. Navigate to the September 11 Attack Timeline section of the official 9/11 Memorial site and you will be able to see how the events of the day transpired.
Starting with 05:45, you can see videos and read up on how hijackers passed through airport security. Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen to advance the timeline. Click on each timestamp’s “more” to read additional information or click on the photos or videos for context.
Ground Zero recovery timeline
After the horrific events, a massive recovery operation swung into high gear. The search for survivors went for a long time as thousands of construction workers, first responders and volunteers descended onto the scene. Working around the clock, they tried to rescue as many trapped people as possible.
The Ground Zero Recovery Timeline is an excellent source to visually understand the scale of the recovery and rescue efforts. Like the Attack Timeline, events are broken down into bite-size chunks, each with a brief description and accompanying videos or images.
Remember – 20 Years Later Tribute Wall
Thousands of people lost loved ones and family. To mark the 20th anniversary, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum created a Tribute Wall to remember those who lost their lives on that tragic day.
When you click on View Tributes, you can see short notes that website visitors have left to remember the day. You can also add your own tribute by clicking on the Add Your Tribute button.
The internet is buzzing about 'murder hornets' - what you need to know
Our civilization went into the year 2020 thinking we’d be able to see our way through the new decade clearly. Now, most people can’t wait for 2020 to be hindsight.
Within the span of a few short months, war nearly broke out with Iran, the Pentagon officially declassified UFO footage and a global pandemic shut down nearly all aspects of our normal lives. It’s no wonder so many of us are sick to our stomachs with anxiety. Tap or click here to see 5 apps that can help you cope with stress.
👽 “We are not alone”: So say some former government and military officials, who testified to Congress about UFOs in November 2024. One Navy rear admiral says he saw a video of a flying object that was more advanced than anything in our military. The Pentagon insists there’s no proof UFOs are alien spacecraft. In the words of Robin Williams, “If aliens are watching us, they probably think dogs are in charge and we’re their pets. They’re like, ‘Why else would humans pick up their poop?’”
👽 Hold onto your tinfoil hat: The Pentagon’s former chief investigator leaked a new government program to scoop up alien tech if it’s ever shot down. He swears there’s zero evidence of alien spacecraft so far. Meanwhile, a UFO analyst and a missile expert both claim that not only has the U.S. recovered a craft, but they’ve even been inside one.
