Marking 18 years since the 9/11 attacks

This week marks 18 years since the September 11th attacks on the east coast of the United States.

On Sept. 11, 2001, America faced an unprecedented day of terror as 19 al-Qaida members hijacked four passenger jetliners, sending two of the planes smashing into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania, resulting in nearly 3,000 deaths.

For those of us who are old enough, it’s a day we’ll never forget. But for my next guests, their memories are more profound.

These four people were working in New York that day, and attended to the scenes in Lower Manhattan as first responders.
