Never Forget

RantWoman asked YouTube for some kind of remembrance. of #September11


CBS News: Two f 16 pilots on mission to intercept Flight 93

Fascinating Interview. RantWoman has additional comments but not here.

Or maybe here. Since 9/11 there have been 24-hour fighter plane patrols covering the US airspace. Previously those had been reduced after the Soviet Union fell apart.


2011 60 minutes VERY Frank words from First Responders


National Geographic The South Tower


Richard Drew on photographing "the falling man"


YouTube has lots more on #September11


What strikes RantWoman today is just how everyone just operated on autopilot for what they understood their roles to be.


RantWoman has previously blogged memories. RantWoman's personal tags are eccentric and some of the posts were written before widespread use of hashtags. There may be more but RantWoman found these.

From 2019


From 2013

(This post contains a link now blocked by A&E on copyright grounds. The link is an interview with the security director at Dean Witter Morgan Stanley, located at the top of one tower. Cantor Fitzgerald was located at the top of the other tower. What struck RantWoman in the interview was that Dean Witter had evacuation drills. Cantor Fitzgerald did not. Cantor Fitzgerald lost hundreds more employees. RantWoman is posting these breadcrumbs because history and learning)
