This is just a horrific scene and a horrific moment. The large plane crashed this Morning North of the somerset county airport, which is in western pennsylvania, not too terribly fall from pittsburgh. The most tragic thing that has happened to america by far. The last time i spoke to my father was Tuesday Morning before he went to work. I told him have a good day at work and i havent heard from him since. There are so many pictures. There are so many people who are still missing. Thousands of lives were suddenly, in these evil despicable acts of terror, none of us will ever forget this day. God bless the soul of those who have lost their lives this morning in New York, in washington, and near pittsburgh, in pennsylvania. Good morning, and welcome to cnns special coverage of the 20th Anniversary of the September 11th attacks. 20 years ago today, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the worst Terrorist Attack to ever strike the united states.

Were about a block from the reflecting pool where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center once stood. President Joe Biden arriving at this moment in Lower Manhattan.
