In our most captivating episode to date, we spoke with Phillip and Caroline Dennis, two ordained pastors who were in the air nearly 25 years ago while the attacks of 9/11 were happening. Their plane was diverted to a small town in Canada along with dozens of others, a heartwarming tale of humanity and compassion that was captured in the award-winning musical, Come From Away.

"At 14, he found himself absorbed by TV coverage of President Kennedy's assassination. 'As we watched, I came out of this kind of mourning and turned to my mother and said, That's what I want to do...
Then, 37 years later [Sep. 11], I was up on the roof, reporting the next huge moment of my life.'"
"Austin now has the option of taking his effort to throw out the plea deals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

I'm going to have to sleep with a light on tonight... I'm such a glutton for punishment...
Been watching 9/11 videos today...
“We might mark 9/11 as a moment when many who believed they were for #peace gave in to the notion that it can only be won through #war. Post-October 7 may prove another such moment.”

I see fewer anniversary posts as the years go by, but I'll never forget where I was on that day. Flying to NYC. Our flight got turned around. #sept11
"According to the statement, #Sinwar "congratulates President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on the renewed trust of the Algerian people in him as President of #Algeria." Sinwar highlighted "Tebboune's support for the #Palestinians" and expressed his congratulations in the context of what #Hamas calls the "Al-Aqsa flood," referring to the deadly attack on #October7, 2023 against #israel."

As someone whose last day of work at the #WorldTradeCenter was September 10, 2001 (I stayed late until 9 PM that Monday, and woke up late to go to work the next day and so I never made it in), a reminder that Donald #Trump spent the day calling into news stations bragging about how he now owned the tallest towers in lower #Manhattan (believe it or not, that was a lie, nevermind the callousness, disregard for dead and dying, and selfishness)
And this from today:
I was listening to Howard Stern, getting ready for the morning commute to college.
The world had unlimited potential.
The first plane hit North Tower. The second plane hit South Tower. The third plane, the Pentagon.
The forth plane? A brave sacrifice.
We are still here. Forever changed. A loss of innocence.

#NeverForget the Chilean September 11th.
It was the start of the neoliberal takeover of every bit of our society, including our imaginations.
As usual, it was sponsored by the US, who wouldn't tolerate any alternative to its economic model.

For the next month, I will be paying respect to the #Hostages of #September11 and #October7.
You should too.
Their trauma can only be experienced though the stories of the #hostage survivors.

Defense Secretary Revokes Plea Deal For 9/11 Masterminds #LloydAustin #PleaDeal #Sept11 #September11th
#Sept11 mastermind #KhalidSheikhMohammed still on hook for #deathPenalty despite his earlier plea agreement.
Defense Secretary Lloyd #Austin overrode a plea agreement reached earlier this week for the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and two other defendants, reinstating them as death-penalty cases.
