We have met the generations test to stand for freedom against a tough challenge, and we have persevered. We are wiser, better, stronger. Today, as we remember the fallen, their families, the bravery of those who face saved countless lives on those dark days and those who are still fighting today, we stand united, dedicated to never forget, never give in, and never lose hope. May god surround and comfort those who lost so much of that day, and may he bless and protect our great nation. It is hard to believe it has been 15 years since 9 11. For many of us, we will never forget the memories of that day. For me, i had breakfast in the pentagon and left 20 minutes to before the plane hit. I remember getting back to my office on capitol hill and a policeman comes running through the halls saying, get out, get out, there is another one coming for us. And people streamed out into the streets not knowing what was happening, how many attacks there would be, or who might be affected. I also remem
You think the source is . And i just to the extent that you can say time and date and if you will, accountable individual who you think is the Decision Maker or the impediment, i would like that answer as succinctly as possible. Miss buller . In my case its very easy to pinpoint the time and the person. The passage of the act mandating the restrictive reporting was the impetus. The person was the general counsel. Basically, he has taken the opportunity to interpret the act to impede our access. Mr. Elkins . In my case, you know, i have two agencies that i oversee, the csb and Environmental Protection agency. In both cases, i have to say that issues relative to access starts at the top with a clear message from the top that access will be granted, it will be granted. To the extent that there is a muddled message or the message is not clear, you end up in situations that we have here today. Some of the on the csb side of the house, the issues started back in 2010, 2011. On the epa side o
Good morning to you and your family. It is september 11th, 2016. Youre watching a special edition of fox friends. Today marks 15 years since the 9 11 attacks here in new york city, also in washington, d. C. , and shanksville, pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 americans died on that day. This morning we honor those who lost their lives and those who sacrificed their own lives to save so many others. Its hard to believe it was 15 years ago. Brian and i were in these chairs 15 years ago. Yeah, they were chairs then, not a couch. To be exact, 2,997. Its so good, for one thing, to see something downtown. For the longest time weve been doing the show on 9 11 and there was nothing there. Now theyve got one world trade, which was also known as the Freedom Tower. Which is what we were just looking at. For years, there was nothing there. There was a lot of red tape trying to figure out what to put down there. No one knows that story better than rick levinthal. Lets go to rick, who was able to carry liv
I mean, the bat news i bad ns this is some big monster. I think we are very well coordinated. Hurricane irma packing a powerful punch, still punishing florida at this hour as it climbs up the coast. Brian monster storms violent fury unleashing a devastating strike, forcing the Sunshine State to go dark. Thats the way it is right now with the sundown, leaving millions, by the way, without power at this hour. Up to 4 million. Steve steve irmas lengthy assault with winds over 100 Miles Per Hour. Turned streets into raging rivers and ripping off roofs. A lot of them. Ainsley you go, they caught that on camera. Massive storm blamed for at least five deaths, including two Police Officers down in florida as Hurricane Irma surges north. Its path of destruction now sparking rapidly rising life threatening water levels. Storm surges that could climb up to 15 feet. 10 to 15 feet of storm surge, i dont know how anybody survives that pray. I dont see prayer as a last resort it should literally be a
You through exactly the time line of what happened on september 11th, 17 years ago and we, of course, will do the same thing today. Brian they did a remarkably sensitive, insightful job with the museum there, with the reflecting pool that you are staring at now, and finally 17 years later u almost all the rebuilding is done or they are very close. They finally fixed the subway station destroyed on 9 11 17 years later. Sadly we are also talking about some of the cancers that those working on the pile to save as many lives as possible and to clean up down there, people are still suffering. Its almost like a time bomb went off that day and we heard about that yesterday and hear more about it today. Its also important to not only go back over the moments when tacks happened witbut also the moments of silence. Six moments of sigh lengths today when both towers fell and when the pentagon was hit and when both towers towers were hit as well when flight 93 went down. Steve this hour 6 45 we wi
