They will always be wrong. In the darkest of hours, we found light. And in the face of fear, we came together – to defend our country, and to help one another.”
Former President Trump planned to visit the Pennsylvania memorial and told Fox News that “It was a very, very sad, horrible day. There’s never been anything like it.”
The attacks were executed by the suicide attackers of al Qaeda Islamist terrorists. Two planes destroyed WTC’s twin towers and another plane went into Pentagon while the fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania field after passengers were able to storm the cockpit.
