A Day of Remembrance
Similarly to the president’s speech, several current trends on social media reflect that the nation has not forgotten what happened 19 years ago today.
#NeverForget, #AllBuildingsMatter, #AlwaysRemember, and Flight 93 are presently trending on Twitter. The latter trend acknowledges that particular flight’s work to regain control of the plane from the terrorists that hijacked it.
United Flight 93 will always be the 9/11 story that hits me the hardest.
The passengers knew they were dead, and had a choice to make. They could let the terrorist kill more innocent people, or they could fight back.
