I think they’re all on national geographic JD - if you have sky they’re all running on top 10 this week or pick of the day

Two of them are hard watching with footage I never thought would be released - the firemen in the lobby flinching and getting angrier every time a body crashes onto the roof and the sound of it is terrible

Thanks for posting that, Bob. I don't believe I've heard that story before.  :(

If more than two days have passed, odds are I forgot it.

I was in DC last week and rode past the Pentagon Friday afternoon. I saw some firefighters and others about to drape a huge American flag, reenacting the famous one hung over the Pentagon 20 years earlier.

Then I flew out of DCA the next morning--a 0900 flight leaving Reagan, and flying over the Pentagon, 20 years (almost to the moment) later. It was surreal.
