US marks 25 years since the Sept. 11 attacks, ‘moments that divide time’

I recall where I was. Here in England. I’d just gotten home from school and it was all over the TV in the lounge when I walked in.

I feel old because anyone under 30 has no memory of this day. (Assuming 5 year olds would not remember this)

Kassem wasn't appointed by a court to represent those Guantánamo terrorists, he chose to do so and did so pro bono. Why would you do that?

The Falling Man

Do you remember this photograph? In the United States, people have taken pains to banish it from the record of September 11, 2001. The story behind it, though, and the search for the man pictured in it, are our most intimate connection to the horror of that day.

25 Years after 9/11 - How Life Changed Forever That Morning | Glenn Beck​

September 10, 2001 was an ordinary day. Americans went to work, took flights, made dinner plans, and went to bed with no idea that the world they knew was about to change.

On the anniversary of 9/11, Glenn Beck reflects on the extraordinary Americans who answered the call when disaster struck — and the country we often don't appreciate until something is suddenly gone.

But his message isn't only about remembering the past. It's about recognizing the ordinary gifts, neighbors, and country still around us today.

Inside the White House on Sept 11 - White House Historical Association​

On the morning of September 11, 2001, the United States came under attack. As President George W. Bush was hurried aboard Air Force One while on travel to Florida, the White House was evacuated amid fears that another hijacked aircraft could be heading toward the nation’s capital, likely targeting the White House itself.

Twenty-five years later, three people who experienced that fateful day from unique positions close to the president and the White House share their memories.

In this special episode of The White House 1600 Sessions, White House Historical Association President Stewart McLaurin speaks with veteran ABC News correspondent Ann Compton, who traveled aboard Air Force One as President Bush was moved across the country; Gary Walters, the longtime White House chief usher who remained at the Executive Residence as the Pentagon burned in the distance; and Anita McBride, then a special assistant to the president, who fled the White House before helping establish an improvised operation nearby so that the work of the presidency could continue.

Together, they recall the confusion and fear of those first hours, the evacuation of the White House, the extraordinary security surrounding Air Force One, and President Bush’s return to Washington that evening. They also reflect on the leadership, humanity and national unity that emerged from one of the darkest days in American history.

Their first-person accounts offer a rare look inside the White House on September 11 and preserve these important memories for a generation with no living recollection of that day.

The 9/11 Cars That Never Made It Home - New York Post​

For 25 years, an ordinary New Jersey train station parking lot has held an extraordinary reminder of the lives lost on 9/11. Middletown Township lost 37 residents that day — the largest loss of life from any community outside the five boroughs — and the cars they left behind became a haunting symbol of those who never came home.

Now, a memorial garden beside the station keeps their memories alive, with a monument and photograph honoring each of the 37 victims.

Twenty-five years later, the community continues to remember the people who left for work that morning and never returned.

No, the article you linked says,
The controversy centers on the mayor's appointment of Ramzi Kassem as the city's chief legal counsel. Critics have pointed to Kassem's past legal representation of a convicted al Qaeda member whose brother-in-law was among the terrorists who hijacked the plane that struck the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.
