9/11

The tenth anniversary of 9/11 was a day for somber reflection and remembrance, even for the waitresses at Hooters.

During Sunday’s ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Paul Simon gave a haunting acoustical performance of ‘The Sound of Silence’ while some onlookers wept.

The victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks were remembered at a ceremony marking the 10-year anniversary of the tragic events on Sunday.

The Twin Towers were enormous buildings and the attacks of 9/11 were of such magnitude that people were able to see the skyline change from neighboring states and camera-equipped satellites were even able to capture the aftermath from space.

The Sept. 11 Memorial is set to open exactly 10 years and one day after the planes crashed into the World Trade Center. The 9/11 Memorial will open on September 12, after being dedicated during Sunday’s remembrance ceremony in New York City.

As the tenth anniversary of 9/11 nears, several outstanding examples of how TV dealt with the tragedy come to mind, including David Letterman’s first broadcast after the attacks and Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ But perhaps none was more powerful than the first post-9/11 ‘Daily Show With Jon Stewart‘ and Comedy Central is streaming the entire episode free on their site

The event will honor our everyday heroes in the Lubbock Community and remember those fallen during the terrorist attacks.

Sunday is the 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. See the next page for 9/11-related television programming.

I'm going to assume that all of us who were alive and old enough to understand things remember exactly what we were doing when the U.S. was attacked on September 11th, 2001. Well, here's what Paul remembers about that day.

People were actually pulled out alive after the collapse. The British lost the second highest number of people. The fire lasted for months. THREE buildings actually fell. One company lost two-thirds of its employees. And what happened to all that steel?

Naturally, 65-year-old gets locked up for misusing the 911 system.

Sometimes we speak of the uncounted casualties of 9/11. Well, one of those uncounted casualties is Tiger Woods’ golf game. I’ll explain on the next page.
