On September 11th, 2001, the United States was shaken by the deadliest terrorist attack in its history. From President George W. Bush’s quiet morning in a Florida classroom to the chaos in New York, the Pentagon, and the heroism aboard Flight 93, this episode walks through the events of that unforgettable day. We highlight the collapse of the Twin Towers, the bravery of first responders and ordinary citizens, and the nearly 3,000 lives lost. Finally, we reflect on President Bush’s words at Ground Zero, and how out of tragedy came unity, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of America.
