🇺🇸As a country, we showed that we would not fall after the devastation of September 11, 2001. That was their goal. Most people ages 5 and up on September 11, 2001 can remember where they were and what they were doing on that horrific day. God Bless the countless police, fire fighters and first responders who lost their lives trying to save others. Let’s never forget the ultimate sacrifice they made to run into the burning skyscrapers while everyone else was running out. And let’s always keep the thousands of innocent lives that were lost that day. ✩ 9/11 in Numbers: 2,977: Total lives lost 2,753: Killed in both towers 343: Firefighters lost 23: NYC Police Officers lost 37: Port Authority Officers 184: Killed at Pentagon 40: Killed Aboard Flight 93 1,645 (60%): Victims positively identified according to the medical examiner 102: Minutes from initial impact to collapse of both towers $60 billion: Cost of damage to WTC $500,000: Cost to plan and execute the attacks 3.1 million: hours of labor to clean debris 1.8 million: tons of debris from WTC $750 million: total cost of cleanup 99: Days that the fire still burned at ground zero 5: Months it took for the dust to settle 1: Person convicted in court in connection to the attacks 10,000: First Responders at the WTC diagnosed with cancer 2,000+: Deaths attributed to 9/11 illnesses ✩ 🇺🇸Don’t ever forget the way our country came together that day and the days following. There was a feeling of unity coming out of the tragedy. Today bring up a lot of feelings for so many people. Please be kind to others, today and every day, because you never know what the next person is going through and has been through. If no one has told you yet today, I love you and appreciate you.🇺🇸 ❤️ 🤍 💙 #september11 #911memorial #neverforget911 #godblessourtroops #godblessfirstresponders #twintowers #pentagon #flight93 #september112001 #20yearslater #unitedwestand #102minutesthatchangedamerica #gratefulheart #blessedandgrateful #freedomtower #beautybloggerlife (at Newark, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTsGyjXpYoU/?utm_medium=tumblr
