NEW YORK WHERE THE EVENTS
HAPPENED AND IN PENNSYLVANIA
WHERE IT HAPPENED.
TODAY IS THE 17th ANNIVERSARY OF
9/11.
>> I LOOKED AT THE CALENDAR AND
YOU KNOW HOW SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T
REMEMBER HOW MANY YEARS IT'S
BEEN.
WHEN I DID THE MATH AND SAW 17,
I THOUGHT OH, MY GOSH.
WE REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS
YESTERDAY AND IT'S FUNNY, ONE OF
THE FIRST THINGS I DO IN THE
MORNING TO CHECK THE NEWS IS I
SORT OF LOOK -- TWITTER IS A
GOOD PLACE TO FIND YOUR NEWS
COMPILED AND IT'S ALSO A
DIVICIVE PLACE.
EXCEPT FOR TODAY.
I COOPERATE BELIEVE IT.
I LOOKED AT ALL THE THINGS THAT
ARE TRENDING AND IF YOU SEE,
IT'S 9/11, NEVER FORGET.
SEPTEMBER 11th, TWIN TOWERS, 17
YEARS.
EVERY TRENDING TOPIC IN THE TOP
15 IS ABOUT THIS DAY.
THERE ARE A LOT OF AWESOME
THINGS ABOUT OUR NATION, BUT THE
WAY WE REMEMBER IS ONE OF THE
BEST THINGS WE DO.
IT HAS BEEN THAT MANY YEARS AND
NOT MANY COUNTRIES AROUND THE
WORLD ARE YOU REMEMBERING
EVERYTHING.
>> I HAD A BIG DOSE OF
REMEMBRANCE THE OTHER DAY.
MY DEAR FRIEND, HER NAME AT THE
TIME WAS 7.5 MONTHS PREGNANT
WITH HER FIRST CHILD AND SHE WAS
MY LONG TIME BELOVED ASSISTANT
BEFORE CHRISTINE TOOK OVER.
SHE WAS PRECIOUS.
HER HUSBAND, TOM HAD SAVED LIVES
DURING THE FIRST ATTACK ON THE
WORLD TRADE CENTER IN 1993.
THEN HE WAS KILLED ON THEIR
WEDDING DAY.
THIS BEAUTIFUL IRISH FACE.
HE WORKED FOR CAPTOR FITZGERALD
AND WAS KILLED WHEN THE FIRST
PLANE HIT THE NORTH TOWER AND
HAD THE GREATEST LAUGH ANY OF
US -- ANY TIME I PERFORMED, I
COULD TELL TOM WAS THERE.
HE HAD A DISTINCTIVE LAUGH AND
WHO IS THE GUY LAUGHING LIKE
THAT?
SO FULL OF LIFE.
SO PRECIOUS.
TARAN HAD HER BABY, COLIN AND HE
WAS AT MY HOUSE THE OTHER DAY
SWIMMING IN THE POOL.
STRAPPING KID.
HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING TO GET
A HOCKEY SCHOLARSHIP.
HIS DAD WOULD BE SO PROUD OF
HIM.
TARAN WENT ON TO MARRY AGAIN AND
HAVE A LITTLE GIRL NAMED REILLY.
THERE IS REDEMPTION, THERE IS
HEALING, BUT IT TAKES A LONG,
LONG TIME SOMETIMES.
THEY WERE SUCH A PICTURE OF
HAPPINESS.
I KNOW TOM AND FRANK ARE LOOKING
DOWN ON THEM ALL TODAY.
>> AT THIS VERY MOMENT, 10:03 IS
WHEN PERFORMS LAUNCHED A COUNTER
ATTACK AGAINST THE HIJACKERS.
THAT WAS THE PLANE THAT CRASHED
IN SHANKSVILLE.
>> I WAS PRAYING ABOUT THAT THIS
MORNING.
HE SAID LET'S ROLL.
THOSE ARE THE REAL HEROES.
I'M GLAD KELSEY WAS SINGING
ABOUT LEDGE ENDS.
A LOT OF LEGENDS WERE THAT DAY.
NOBODY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT IS
THIS GOING TO HURT ME.
THEY JUST WENT IN.
>> THE DEATH TOLL, THE PEOPLE
THAT WERE THERE HELPING WHEN IT
COMES TO ILLNESSES AND THINGS
WILL OUTNUMBER THOSE WHO DIED
THAT DAY.
SOME REPORTS SAY THAT.
I WAS THINKING OF SOMETHING TO
POST AND I SAW THIS --
>> I LOVE WHAT YOU POSTED TODAY.
>> BE THE REASON SOMEONE
BELIEVES IN THE GOODNESS OF
PEOPLE.
SOMETIMES THEY SAY ON THOSE DARK
DAYS LIKE 9-11 WAS HERE, I THINK
EVERYONE IN THEIR LIFE IS FACING
THEIR OWN PRIVATE BATTLES.
THE GOODNESS IF YOU CAN FIND
THAT OR
