#10 3,051 children lost a parent in the attack.
Their agony and what they have lost....cannot be undone.
#9 A guise dog, Roselle, a Labrador led her blind owner, Michael down to ground from 78 storeys of the north tower and to home of a friend!
Man's best friend after all.
#8 It took 100 days for firefighters to extinguish fires ignited by the attacks.
Innocent people suffered.
#7 3 hours before the attacks happened, a machine called Random Event Generator at Princeton University predicted that a devastating event was about to unfold.
But how devastating.....no.
#6 Five of the 9/11 hijackers stayed right outside the National Security Agency- the American spy organization, in a motel, in the days before the attacks.
Why would they do that....
#5 Out of about 3,000 people killed, only 291 dead bodies were found 'intact'.
Brutal.
#4 4 planes were hijacked, 2 of which crashed into the World Trade Centre, third into the Pentagon- the headquarters of US department of defense and the fourth was supposed to hit Washington D.C. but passengers overcame the hijackers only to crash into a field in Pennsylvania.
So many lives lost..
#3 Al-Queda leader Osama Bin Laden who was responsible for the attacks, was killed in a covert operation in Pakistan. He was hiding their and was killed by American troops when Pakistani government had no clue about this!
But the wounds still hurt.
#2 The emergency number of America- 911 is the way Americans write the date September 11.
Too much meaning.
#1 September 11 is now remembered as 'Patriotic day' in the memory of those who lost their lives.
Never.
