Four Years Ago Today

I remember coming downstairs, turning on the TV, and noticing that it had switched to BBC News 24 (this is usually a satellite channel, when it appears on terrestrial TV during the day it's a bad sign as they usually turn to News 24 for major stories - the most recent time it happened was during the London bombings). They were showing the smoking hole left by the first plane to hit, and caught the second plane impacting - before then it could have been a tragic accident. I've since read the offical 9/11 commission report which is available in most bookshops (in connection with my International Politics degree course). Some of the transcripts of communications on that day make very difficult reading, particularly the recordings from the plane that eventually crashed when the passengers fought back - desperation can give amazing courage to people, and they were within seconds of overpowering the hijackers according to the aircraft voice recorders. Truly they were the first to fight back against this new form of terrorism.
